Mahdi Posted July 6, 2000 Share Posted July 6, 2000 Thanks Gob for getting me a new pass, I haven't used this account for a long time...Anyway, I have nothing beter to do, so I figured that I might as well test all of your knowledge. I will start of real easy...In the novel Dune, what is muad'dib originally? (Other than a mouse)(I told you it would be easy, but watchout, some of you might fall in the trap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunekune Posted July 11, 2000 Share Posted July 11, 2000 I've never read the novels so I don't know! But in Dune1 Muad'Dib was the guy who was gonna come and save the fremen from death or something like that. If I played it again I would know but I can't really be stuffed doing anything right now.

Mahdi Posted July 11, 2000 Author Share Posted July 11, 2000 You have to read the novel to get this one, the games or movie or dune encyclopeadea won't do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechadragon Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 Muad'dib was originally Paul Atredies...either that or the mouse shadow in the second moon... which it states in the movie...or... a Fremen phrophecy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted July 14, 2000 Author Share Posted July 14, 2000 Well, its been over a week so I will tell you guys the answer. No, Muad'dib was not ORIGINALLY a mouse shaped shadow on a moon of Arrakis. It was originally a star constellation whose tail pointed north which is where Muad'dib got the translation "The one who points the way". This is one of the biggest continuity flaws in the entire series, for, at the end of the novel, Muad'dib is the shape of a mouse that the shadows make on the moon. That is why niether the movie or Dune Encyclopeadea could help you find this answer. You have to have read the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechadragon Posted July 16, 2000 Share Posted July 16, 2000 can you site the chapter at least so we can look it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted July 16, 2000 Author Share Posted July 16, 2000 I am nto sure of the exact chapter, but it is when Paul and Jessica are in the stiltent and Paul is telling her about the future and that he is not the kwisatz haderach but something unexpected, a freak. It is before they join the fremen but after they escape the harkonnens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanilewalia Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 Wow, I just read the book again a few days ago and I don't remeber that part at all, well I remeber the part where they were talking and he said that he was a freak, weird that I didn't pick up on that!
