If Feyd had killed Paul...

[MrFlibble]

And who the hell is Ashram?

My guess is that it's Aramsham the Sardaukar Captain.

(These "what if" things are about as interesting as casting threads.)

Buzzkill! People are honestly trying to have an intelligent Dune discussion here! :P

Ah, him. ;)

::) I think there's a Pink Floyd lyric that's relevant in this situation. ;)

Why would Jessica have done it, instead of Chani? Or one of the Fedaykin? ::)

Could have been Chani, too.

[Dunenewt]

Aramsham's entry in the DE is quite interesting.

[SandChigger]

Do tell...? :)

Can't remember if Rabban or Ashram are there, I think so. Maybe Lady Fenring and Jessica too?

I believe Rabban was dead already (although I may be confusing the plot of the book with the miniseries). I need to reread the books.

Yeah, there's no way Feyd would have lived even if Paul had been killed, and I doubt very much would have changed in the long run. The genetic line would have been a little different (was Chani preggo yet? I don't think so), so maybe Leto II wouldn't have come to power, but overall.... yeah.

[SandChigger]

(If you mean was she pregnant with Leto II & Ghanima yet, no, not for another 12 years or so: they're born at the end of Dune Messiah. And their first child, the first Leto II, had already been killed by the Sardaukar.)

[vota dc]

Rabban was dead because Feyd was already the new baron.

If Paul was killed then the Freman would get medieval on Feye, the Baron and everyone's asses for killing their beloved new leader.

Feye?

As in Wreye? Have you ever considered how much Dune is like King Kong?! Yes! The Fremen are the natives who share an intimate relationship with an incomprehensible and overwhelming force of nature! Kong is the worm or even the desert (or, alternately, with his animalistic lust for beautiful young thangs, the Baron H). Yeah, that's it!

It's a pity that THE BARON WAS ALREADY DEAD ALREADY DAMMIT, because he probably would have enjoyed someone "getting medieval" on his bumbums.

(Don't the Germans have a saying something like "Wie die Frage, so die Antwort"? The answer befits the question? With your answer this thread has finally come into its own!)

LOL!
