Welcome to Arrakis - Dune Lore Explained (History, Factions, Planetology)

Welcome to Arrakis - A primer video on the lore of Dune by Frank Herbert. You can play the awesome Dune boardgame through our sponsor GF9: www.flamesofwar.com/gf9online...
In this lore documentary we seek to bring to life the world of Frank Herbert's Dune series with animated video of the key aspects of his work. We begin by tracing the history of the imperium from the Space Age of the 21st century through the mellenia of expansion that would see the Empire of Man become the Empire of a Thousand Worlds. We cover the pivotal moment that was the Butlerian revolt against the Thinking Machines. In its aftermath, the galaxy was reformed into a new galactic order.
This was made up of three main pillars: The Landsraad, The Imperial Throne, and the Spacing Guild. We discuss each of these with a focus on the Great and Minor houses along with House Corrino which currently sits atop the throne. In addition we also dive into the emergence of new players like the Mentats, the Navigators, and the Bene Gesserit.
Finally we turn our attention to how these various galactic factions of the Imperium of Man come to see their plans within plans come to a head on Arrakis. To set the stage for this action we dive deep into the planetology of Dune including its ecology, the sand worms, spice melange, and the Fremen.
I've loved diving into the lore of Dune and hope this makes a good primer video for the Dune Movie 2021 as well as your reading of the Dune books as I assume that most Dune Movie Review videos do not get into this much detail. Stay tuned for more episodes on Dune explained.

    It's fun to watch videos like this and learn just how deep some sci fi franchises today, especially Warhammer 40k, have roots in Dune. Imperium of Man, the God-Emperor, even the existence of Navigators (albeit rather decidedly different in how they work and why they're needed in 40k) owe their inspirations to these books.

    The only problem I have the new movie is that like this video they have the name of House Harkonnen all wrong (pronunciation wise) and the fact they taken just a tad to much liberty when it comes to design like Caryalls basically being Balloon ships and some big spice harvesting "tics" That make no sense. AND also the the Fremen uses Las Weapons (which they DO not in the book)

    To Expand, Prior to 0AG, Earth was hit by a planetoid, later returned to in "the saving of the treasures" Holtzman was born and discovered the Holtzman effect; the various phases of which are used for shields, travel etc. He eventually became part human, part machine, switching himself on and off during the period of time the video marks as various golden ages. Eventually being killed following the Butlerian Jihad (instigated when Butlers unborn child was killed pre delivery following decisions made by a thinking machine) Norma Cenva instigates the creation of the spacing guild by completing the first spice assisted travel using the holtzman drive and those people from earth? They became the Zensunni, ordered by the Padishar emperor to locate a new home, eventually settling on... POW! Arrakis - becoming the Fremen after being forced into the desert by the occupants at the time. This video is really good! It has enough depth to be thorough but it doesn't end up being a total info dump - cheers guys!

    Watched this movie in theaters. Hands down the best sci-fi/fantasy movie that’s out there at the moment. I really felt the ‘power’ of things that were supposed to be powerful. I felt terrified for the characters when they were terrified. The consequences were truly real. A lot of stories nowadays will tell us that something in-story-universe is ‘powerful’ or ‘scary’. But then they die instantaneously whenever the writers need a convenient death. You never really feel the consequences or the ‘weight’ of it. This movie did it all right. Watch it in theaters! It deserves every view it gets. They did an excellent job.
