Is Leto's face actually giant? I know his body is giant but in every depiction of him I've seen he also has a huge face. Also lol at the hebrew cover of God Emperor:

This is the closest to my head canon. I have this version of the cover so maybe that's why I'm so bothered with the giant face thing:  e:

Leto’s face is his original face (minus skull), it should be the original size. I do have a soft spot for mega face as pictured in the old cover art but it doesn’t agree with the book.

The Harkonnens already had stewardship of Dune, and shipping the military equipment to Dune to kill the Atreides cost something like 50 years worth of spice harvesting profits in Guild tariffs and bribes. So, what was the big benefit of doing this? quote:Thufir Hawat, his father’s Master of Assassins, had explained it: their mortal enemies, the Harkonnens, had been on Arrakis eighty years, holding the planet in quasi-fief under a CHOAM Company contract to mine the geriatric spice, melange. Now the Harkonnens were leaving to be replaced by the House of Atreides in fief-complete—an apparent victory for the Duke Leto. Yet, Hawat had said, this appearance contained the deadliest peril, for the Duke Leto was popular among the Great Houses of the Landsraad. The emperor is concerned about Leto’s prominence in the Landsraad and wants him dead, but can’t move against him openly because it would provoke the Landsraad to rise up. Baron Harkonnen wants to destroy the Atreides to increase his prestige and power by dunking a rival publicly so that every other noble knows he’s hardcore, and we later learn the emperor has promised to reward him with a permanent CHOAM directorship, which makes him way wealthier than just being the guy who administrates spice mining ops for CHOAM, on top of presumably getting the same kind of “fief-complete” arrangement that Leto was given. Therefore Shaddam gives Leto the fief, an honor he can’t refuse, knowing that Leto will suspect he is being trapped and either flee the empire into exile, or walk right into the trap.

Liquid Dinosaur posted:Because Jessica was teaching their troops Weirding Way kung fu? I don’t think this was happening. Jessica’s abilities are hidden from basically everyone in the Atreides household. Thufir basically thinks “eh I could take her” right up until the moment she kicks the stuffing out of him with Voice. I don’t think he would do that if he knew she had sick nasty roundhouse kick powers. She teaches the Fremen her martial arts after she and Paul fall in with them, and she probably taught Paul some stuff, but I think the average Atreides trooper is more likely getting taught stuff from the playbooks of Hawat, Halleck or Idaho. I think that a popular noble amassing a staff like that to lead what seems to be a regular army is probably going to be enough to set Shaddam’s alarm bells ringing — the Harkonnen army by contrast seems like it’s just a bunch of schmuck conscripts. She also doesn’t sit in on the Atreides war councils or anything. I think as far as anyone except Paul and maybe kind of Leto knows, she’s just there to host dinner parties and manage the household and is of no military importance. skasion fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Jun 24, 2019 |

Yeah, this sounds right. One gets the feeling that the Baron didn't really want commanders to be too clever. He liked them to have expensive vices and he kills them or sends them to die often (despite his insistence that he doesn't waste talent). He was planning to kill Piter shortly after the interview with Leto. He didn't even break his stride (or wobble-hop, whichever) when Umman Kudu died - he just promoted the first guy he saw afterward. The Duke wants first-rate combat troops, the Baron just wants grunts. Preferably, grunts without any ambition.

the essential philosophical thesis of house atreides is to be conspicuously noble, brave, and self-sacrificing, thus attracting the admiration and service of the talented.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:No, the alliance with the Fremen. It was earlier than that, no? quote:"The Padishah Emperor turned against House Atreides because the Duke's Warmasters Gurney Halleck and Duncan Idaho had trained a fighting force -- a small fighting force -- to within a hair as good as the Sardaukar. Some of them were even better. And the Duke was in a position to enlarge his force, to make it every bit as strong as the Emperor's." The alliance with the Fremen didn't happen until after the Emperor turned against House Atreides and sent it to Dune. So they'd managed to train small numbers of almost-Sardaukar prior to meeting any Fremen.

That makes me wonder — does the emperor actually know that there’s 10 million Fremen, or did the Kyneses manage to keep that from him? The bit where Fenring nearly loses his poo poo when Baron H naively suggests turning Arrakis into a prison planet makes me feel like Fenring at least has some sense that the Fremen could rival the Sardaukar. If Fenring knows it (and after all he lived there) then surely Shaddam must know it. But if Shaddam knew the makings of an army to rival his own were on Arrakis, it was insanely foolhardy of him to send Leto there, even with the expectation of quickly killing him.
