It already has all the elements:
space ships,
supernatural powers,
an organization of mysterious psychics,
political intrigue,
an angry youth who is destined to rule but hesitant to make the sacrifices necessary to get there,
a freaky psychic girl-child that creeps everyone else out,
planets at war,
cool technology,
people with strange eyes,
themes of destiny and philosophy and messiahs,
rival families,
giant monsters,
hand to hand fighting,
a love triangle for the hero,
... and lots of blowing shit up.
You could fit the novel into a 26-episode season. It's perfect.
