Rewriting scenes in "Dune".
September 5, 2023 at 4:00 pm
Start with "House Atreides Accepts!" Then Leto turns to Paul and invites him to come stand next to him while he puts the seal on the Imperial Directive.
This is shown being projected on all the planets of the Empire.
The Baron is shown snarling at Leto and then his attention turns to Paul.
"That gorgeous boy!"
Piter has a strange look on his face.

Why can't Atreides and Harkonnens coexist on Dune? It's a planet so they can be there at the same time.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The Atreides accused a Harkonnen of cowardice at the Battle of Corrino, and the Harkonnens have been butthurt about it for generations.
Also, melange is a source of almost unimaginable wealth, which the Harkonnens aren’t willing to share.

If I may ask, what's so great about Dune.
Never read the book(s). Only saw the most recent movie with the gay thirst trap (not my type, by the way), but I suppose I just don't see a representation of the social issues I prefer.

I read Dune in the mid 80s. A boyfriend was sure I would love it. I didn't. Remember almost nothing other than I had to force myself to finish the book.
