I mean, pretty much the best pitch/explanation for it for most people today is gonna be 'Game of Thrones in space'. Especially since it draws heavily on the same kind of medieval court drama. That said, they probably should borrow from the book blurb and put something like 'Before Star Wars... before Star Trek... there was DUNE' in the trailer.

Why wasn't the God Emperor named Leto III? There was already a Leto II. In real life royal dynasties, if a child died in infancy, do they call a mulligan and reuse the name for the new, real heir? Or would he only really count as "Leto, second of his name" if he'd ascended to the title of Duke successfully when Paul died/walked into the desert in effective abdication.

Normally you don’t get a regnal number unless you actually reign, but Paul already thinks of his not-yet-murdered firstborn as Leto II in the first book. Paul knew he would be succeeded by his son, so when he had a son he named him Leto II. Just got the wrong son.

Communist Walrus posted:Bran has never failed to sexually satisfy a woman I mean couldn’t he just possess someone to have sex in their body? Or at the very least warg into them while they have sex? Or would witnessing their own little death make them mentally retarded like Hodor? And re: royal names. If you hold multiple titles are you both [Name] the X, [title] of [place], and [name] the Y, [title] of [place], where Y=\=X? So for example, assuming there’s never been an Padishah Emperor named Leto, would our immortal Lubricoid friend be both both Duke Leto II, second of his name, and Emperor Leto I, first of his name?

Leto, once covered in sandtrout, ponders that his large intestine is longer than typical and extracts all water from his shits, because of fremen genetics. Edit: this is actually in the book. Frank Herbert put considerable thought in the important matters.

Would noble houses/people be able to travel to, and exploit stuff in their own solar system, like asteroids or other planets and moons? They can have their own space shuttles, so would intra-system travel be something you could do without the Guild?

They might even risk expeditions into deep space if the distances aren't very far. But that'd probably mean a multi-generational crew.

It is and no one mentions anything interesting about planets i-viii. Unless the empire has means to terraform planets without much difficulty it's even more realistic that livable planets would be sparse. But still: Dune - desert planet, Caladan - water planet, Giedi Prime - poo poo planet (or is that Dune again?)

Turns out "desert planets" in the sense of the book are pretty common in the universe, with a habitable zone more than 3 times larger than "aqua" planets. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/51251901_Habitable_Zone_Limits_for_Dry_Planets e: beaten about the planet order thing.

Also, Geidi Prime is the first planet in its solar system, Salusa Secundus is the second in its solar system, etc. as the poster above mentioned.
