Exploration is ill-advised.
I'm honestly kinda down with Low Budget sci-fi as an aesthetic if only because I wonder where they DID put the budget, and that Dune might well lend itself to it. I think a big part of Dune, if only because of the literary origins, is they don't focus on individual fancy gear and instead use major setpieces of plot significance.

I, for one, am hoping for a successful franchise that will see Duncan No. 112 climb a wall and excite a Fish Speaker at some point around the year of our Lord 2030.

They have a similar aesthetic to the Harkonnen stuff we've seen. Also I think the Sardaukar that attack the Atreides were disguised as Harkonnen soldiers.

yeah, the Sardaukar had to be undercover because the Emperor couldn't allow anyone outside of the conspiracy to know he was attacking the Atreides at that point.

I much prefer the one on the right, as late-stage Sardaukar are practically nouveau riche, and everyone's fear of their supposed combat prowess means they get to show off their wealth and status, rather than be clad in... practical(?) battle attire.

I think it's kind of important as well that they look incredibly pompous, because that's part of the trick, that the best of the best on Selusa Secondus can rise above and become Sardukar and have this 'lavish' lifestyle, that's really just being cannon fodder for the Emperor in his cryptic children-murdering machinations. Like, they SHOULD look like a poor idiots idea of a hugely successful person.

Yeah, and so much this, in the Lynch film, you don't really get the sense that they're SUPER ELITE CADRE, you'd be utterly forgiven for thinking they were just 'Harkonnen troops'. Considering they're kind of the prime motivation for the events of the book (in that the Emperor catches wind the Atreides 'might' be able to train some troops that almost match them in battle) they get super sidelined, and as soon as they show up they just get utterly chumped immediately.

/edit edit: I keep looking at it, and yeah it just would be PERFECT wouldn't it. Goddamn it. Jodorowsky's Dune really is SUCH a shame.

Wouldn't the Sardaukar be dressed as Harkonnen troops if they are fighting the D U N C ?

Having the Atreides et al looking as stark and utilitarian as we've seen so far is a great opportunity for imperial aesthetics to be absolutely fuckoff nutso grandiose to really drive home the power/wealth differential between them and the lesser players, idk if I'm expecting him to go that way but it'd be very neat

Yeah, that was the plot, set up the rivalry and then send in ELITE troops under the disguise so that no one suspected the Emperor. But so even that get's washed over in the film, you never see them apart from in Harkonnen duds, so there's basically no 'Sardaukar' in the movie, except conceptually, and very vaguely at that. It's all kind of thrown away, which seems so weird to me because it's such an important part of the plot?

I hope that we, at the very least, get to see the stark difference in fighting styles between Sardaukar and Harkonnen troops, revealing that when push comes to shove, these guys do know their way around a knife.

And I just want to see their back-to-back petal knife dance routine that Aramsham and co. are doing in the sietch.

Even in the book, the sardaukar roll over the Atreides so fast that they don't get much time on stage. They seem to be more prominent in the later half of the book when they're fighting against the freemen.

Yeah I got the impression that the Sardaukar are really fuckin' good but also that the Fremen are the first to really give them serious opposition in a long time.

Fast and thoroughly.There aren't that many survivors of the atreides army left by the time Paul ascends to the throne.As far as I remember only Gurney's team survives with any measure of cohesion after eating a ton of casualties.They might have slipped a little bit when it comes to their peak form, but they were still capable of bringing the pain.The fremen and its abundance were a black swan event for the empire, and it takes teaching them the wierding way of fighting and some rules lawyering around atomics to win.

I hope they include a couple of scenes with the Sardaukar. The one who was giving the Baron poo poo was funny because the Baron is always a twat when people dare to talk back to him. Also amusing the first time Paul uses the Voice on one of them.

Love the Moebius work. I wonder why Jodorowsky doesn't print his drat dune book. The art his project compiled would be loved by a lot of fans, I'm sure.
