Soon you’ll be able to be more like Dune‘s Paul Atreides than ever before. No, not by igniting a galaxy-spanning holy war, winning a infirmed knife duel, or hanging out with Jason Momoa. Instead, you can prove that you are the Lisan al-Gaib by riding the worm…sort of. Dark Horse Direct and Legendary Pictures are releasing an all-new skate deck with an eye-popping sandworm design, and Collider is proud to present an exclusive first look at it.
Made from 100% 7-ply Canadian maple, the skate deck features art of one of Dune‘s iconic sandworms emerging from the desert sands, inspired by the murals in the palace of Arrakeen in Denis Villeneuve‘s first Dune film. Boasting a handsome crimson red background with gold foil details, the deck measures 31.87″ long by 8.25″ wide. The deck is confined to only 500 pieces, and will retail for $80 USD. It can be preordered now only on DarkHorseDirect.com.

Your Hero Has Been Identified Your Sci-Fi Hero Is…
Your answers point to the iconic sci-fi hero who shares your instincts, your values, and your particular way of facing the impossible.
Arrakis · Dune
Paul Atreides
You carry a weight most people would crumble under — the knowledge of what you’re capable of, and the burden of what you might have to become.
You see further ahead than others and you plan accordingly, even when the vision frightens you.
You are driven by loyalty to your people and a sense of destiny you didn’t ask for but can’t escape.
Paul Atreides is not simply a hero — he is someone who understands the cost of power and chooses to bear it anyway.
That gravity, that willingness to carry what others won’t, is exactly you.
USS Enterprise · Star Trek
Captain Kirk
You lead with instinct, warmth, and an absolute refusal to accept a no-win scenario — because you’ve always believed there’s a third option nobody else has thought of yet.
You take the mission seriously without ever taking yourself too seriously.
Your crew would follow you anywhere, not because you demand it, but because you’ve earned it.
Kirk’s genius isn’t tactical — it’s human. He reads people, bends rules with purpose, and wills outcomes into existence through sheer conviction.
That combination of warmth, audacity, and relentless optimism is unmistakably yours.
The Rebellion · Star Wars
Princess Leia
You are the kind of person who holds the line when everyone else is losing faith — not because you’re fearless, but because giving up simply isn’t something you’re capable of.
You lead through conviction. Your voice carries because your belief is unshakeable.
You gave up everything ordinary the moment you chose the cause, and you’ve never looked back.
Leia is not a supporting character in her own story — she is the moral centre of the entire rebellion.
That same fierce, principled, unbreakable core is what defines you.
The Nostromo · Alien
Ellen Ripley
You are not reckless, not grandiose, and not particularly interested in being anyone’s hero — you just refuse to stop when it matters.
You see threats clearly, you document the truth even when no one listens, and when the time comes you handle it yourself.
Ripley’s heroism is earned, not performed. She doesn’t have a speech — she has a flamethrower and a plan.
You share her composure under the worst possible pressure, and her refusal to pretend the monster isn’t there.
When it counts, you don’t flinch. That’s everything.
The Wasteland · Mad Max
Max Rockatansky
You have been through fire that would break most people — and what came out the other side is something the world underestimates at its peril.
You don’t ask for facilitate, don’t need validation, and don’t wait for anyone to tell you the rules no longer apply.
Your loyalty, when it finally arrives, is absolute — but it’s earned in silence and tested in action, not in words.
Max is not a nihilist. He is someone who lost everything and found, against his will, that he still has something worth protecting.
That bruised, stubborn, ultimately human core is exactly yours.
What Are the Sandworms of ‘Dune’?
Created by Frank Herbert in his 1965 novel Dune, the immense sandworms, known as the Shai-Hulud to the nomadic Fremen, roam the endless deserts of the planet Arrakis. Their larvae produce the spice melange, the substance that makes Arrakis the most significant planet in the universe; its consumption is the only thing that makes interstellar travel possible. However, the fiercely territorial sandworms also make harvesting the spice extremely perilous, as they will attack the men and machines that attempt to collect it. The sandworms are culturally significant to the Fremen; learning to ride the enormous beasts is considered a rite of passage, and is one of the tasks Paul Atreides must master before they accept him. The book’s original illustrations, and David Lynch‘s 1984 film, gave them a three-lobed mouth, while Villeneuve’s sandworms have a more lamprey-like appearance.
Of course, you’ll see more Shai-Huluds than you can Shai-handle in this winter’s Dune: Part Three. Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) now rules the known universe as his Fremen loyalists wage a war across the stars. While some consider him a liberator or a messiah, he has enemies everywhere, and they will stop at nothing to put an end to him and everything he cares about. The final chapter of the epic science fiction trilogy hits theaters on December 18.
The Dune Shai-Hulud skate deck from Dark Horse Direct can be pre-ordered now. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates, and remember, skate without rhythm, and you won’t attract the worm.
