nemafakei Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 It seems that there are a number of errors in the prequels. For clarity, we should compile them all in one thread. This one will do nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Let me think, we never knew Leto hda son before paul, or heard anythinga bout House Vernius controlling Ix.Three words: Duncan Idaho's Sister.Shaddam's Great Spice War.Ginaz losing the War of Assassins with the Grumman.They don't have the BG dive into the other memory the right way.(Can't think of any right now, let me skim thru the prequels.)

nemafakei Posted January 8, 2002 Author Share Posted January 8, 2002 There was no mention of things like the Great Spice war, but they were not mistakes per se. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 I would also have to say Duncan's sister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 In the Prequels, Yueh had been aquainted with the Atreides since shortly before Paul was born. Â In Dune, Jessica says they had only known each other for six years, rather than the 15+ years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 The duke sent peopl to purchas a Bene Geserit for him, the Been Gesserit didn't send Jessica to him, and Jessica knew Leto's father. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 10, 2002 Author Share Posted January 10, 2002 We know from Dune that Irulan's mother was still around in 10,191. This was not the case acc. to HC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Mahdi: Â I believe, in Dune, Jessica was more referring to the influence Leto's father had on him, rather than knowing the man firsthand.Nema Fakai: Â It says in one of the Dune Appendicies that Anirul did die. Â Look under the Shaddam entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 10, 2002 Author Share Posted January 10, 2002 But when? Acc. To Dune, she was still alive at the time of Leto's death; Â this was mentioned in ine of the quotes by Irulan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost_child Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 one if duncan is only 9 in house atredies which takes place 40 years before dune. it would make duncan about fifty. isnt he realy only like 20 something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Mahdi: Â You're probably right.Lost_Child: Â Yeah, but remember that there were probably better medical things, which would let people live longer, or at least stay fit longer. Â He also had access to some Spice, which has life-prolonging abilities. Â It's still pretty old, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Especially considering one of the reasons he and Paul were so close was because they were close to the same age...And if he's fifty when he dies, that means he's fifty when he hooks up with Alia, who is fifteen...

nampigai Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Well I was just thinking, in Dune (the novel) there is nobody who knows where the spice comes from but in house Corrino they know it's from the worm..... ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 11, 2002 Author Share Posted January 11, 2002 I'd thought of the Idaho problem - but remember in Messia and ChoD, he's a ghola, and so his effective age could be reduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scheijian Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 Most of the mistakes are collected in the  alt.fan.dune faq:http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~gh248/dunefaq/dunefaq4.html#4.3greetingsMiles (enough mistakes for everyone ;D) Tegwww.duneweb.de Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_Worf Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 A lot of the inconsistensies can be attributed to the fact that between House Atreides and Chapterhouse: Dune there is a period of thousands and thousands of years. Things change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 House Atreides had Old Duke - Leto I. Dune has Leto I - Paul Maud'dib. And Dune Messiah onwards have Paul - Leto II, Ghani and a couple other people. I'd hardly call that thousands of years. Maybe 200 at the most.

Colonel_Worf Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 Not Children of Dune, Chapterhouse: Dune. As everyone knows God Emperor of Dune takes place thousands of years after Children of Dune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory, the Ghola Hayt/Idaho, is only about 10. At most. But the Tlieaxu fashioned him to look about Twenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_d00d Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Also, in House Atreides the abron uses Earplugs to prevent the BG from Using the voice... but in Dune they didn't seem to be invented yet since that deaf guy was send with Jessica and Paul in the Orni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Also, they have to hear you talk so they can match the right tone and pitch etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
