Guys, I have to come clean, I cannot remember poo poo from the last two books besides space sex witches and dog chairs.

Unfortunateky, I don't have the mental capacity to absorb all the weird poo poo because I'm not the lil excited nerdling that gets his mind blown each time he reads a book

I'll re-read the first four, though, it's been a while

They’re like what we would have gotten if an actual talented spinoff writer had been given the dune franchise, like if Timothy Zahn instead of failson and KJA was writing more sequels/prequels. Definitely B tier but still fun.

I know there is a legit reason for them, but every shot in the ads where it has the person staring intently at you with that nose piece in, I just laugh. It looks so loving dumb!

I remember reading that the kids of the Dune author wanted him to sue George Lucas. I mean, the movies both have some white dude on a desert planet, but are they really that similar? Just looking at the first trilogy of Star Wars.

Dune is absolutely one of the things Lucas ripped off but yeah it's not Actual Plagarism

If luke and leia ended up marrying each other and he somehow merged with a bunch of huttlings, got a super exoskeleton force suit, wrecked a bunch of planets and ultimately became super jabba the hutt it still wouldnt be plagarism, just bad fan fiction

I think it was due to my expectations after DUNK and Messiah were so high so it was a letdown

I hated the fourth book first time around and it took me multiple years and re-reads to break through but I still think it's one of my favourites

First book is good by itself, first three are good together, first four are good together, the last two i also like though it feels like a new series rather than a continuation... that all stopped when Frank died.

There are no books after that. :colbert:

Are you implying that Duncan Idaho didn't fight a smarmy noble house heir when training at Ginaz and the guy was holding a katana and said "My Hanzo steel is too good for you" before switching to a kindjal?

Not to start a failson discussion but I actually read all three house books and the Butlerian Jihad ones with the naivete of a reader who just wanted a bit more of Dune.

I was hoping for something like what Christopher Tolkien did with his fathers notes and concepts. House Atreides was an okay start but like crumbled really fast and when that scene in the invasion of Ginaz happened I literally threw the book across laughing

I have no excuses for reading ALL Butlerian Jihad books, they start bad and keep being bad CONSISTENTLY

Was House Atreides the one where we get the totally cool and necessary backstory to how Paul's grandfather got gored to death by a bull not because he was a showoff but because a Harkonnen agent drugged the bull beforehand to make it really aggressive?

Yup, also something about IX or Tlelaxu cloning facilities giving me nightmares because we absolutely needed to KNOW they were abducted women who got opened up surgically and birthed clones

12 year old me learnt an important lesson, attempting to read the failson books.
"What's this?? More Dune, but with lasers, spaceships and death robots? Wow!"
