    OK, just read something about the Harkonnens being Finnish. I'll be quiet now :-[ *fades into obscurity*

    OK, I'll probably look like a complete prat if this has already come up a thousand times (and it probably has as it seems pretty obvious), but you'll have to forgive me, I don't visit these boards often. Talking about the - "real"/"now" - world connections with Dune, would anyone else agree that House Harkonnon has, what look like, strong links with Russia/(ex-)Russian Royal Family?
  3. Did they actually hope to regain the Ghola's original memories this way, or was that merely an interesting - and valuable - by-product of making him kill paul?

    Am I right in thinking it was originally a knife?
  5. Admittedly there are some similarities, but alot of what you're saying is complete rubbish! I have a much greater respect for the work's of Frank Herbert than I do of George Lucas, but still... The thing about comparing the X-Wing to the Sandworm - grasping at straws just alittle?! And having the hero's family killed by the big baddie is one of the biggest cliches in film! I think George Lucas used Dune as inspiration, but alot of the ideas are mere coincidence, nothing more.
  6. Fayd's wasn't it? Something about not loosing the bloodline...
  7. Well, I didn't mean you personally, but ya know ::) ;D

    I've never been able to work out how the Duke Atreides was black?!

    OK, it's obvious the timeline of the books and prequels, I was just wondering how and where Emporer fits into it?
  10. Yeah, but hadn't he been given that poison when he was first captured, and the Harkonnen had been feeding him the antidote?
  11. I never reaslised there were this many houses... I notice that House Ordos are a House-Minor, why is it then, do you think, that they have such a large part in Emporer? Surely it would have made more sense to have the Ixians or Tleilaxu as a fully-playable side and Ordos as the Sub-House?!
  12. Yeah, but would you be able to create an interesting story about the citizens of Caladan?
  13. About Tom Cruise playing Duncan - He'd want the lead role ::) Anyway, I think the guy who played Hagrid in Harry Potter and the dude in a couple of the more recent James Bong movies would make a good Vladamir.
