Creation
Gary Cohn spoke on the creation of the series stating:
Edgar Rice Burroughs. It was my homage to the John Carter stories. I wanted to create my Barsoom, and that’s what we did, created our Mars with all the various races, the arid climate, the need for water, a lot of things that were clipped from Barsoom stories and then stirred up in our own inimitable way.[1]
Co-creator Ron Randall stated his inspiration for the look of the series:
For me, Dune was definitely part of the inspiration as far as trying to visualize the planet as I had read the Dune book. I grew up in Oregon and spent a lot of time on the Oregon coast, in Florence, walking on as I found out later the same sand dunes that Frank Herbert was studying as a budding environmentalist. So that sort of landscape was something that had been in my subconscious from the time I was a young kid. That was certainly an influence on me in coming up with how to sculpt those vast expanses of sand.[2]
