They move to the desert planet Arrakis where water is scarce and precious and life is extremely challenging. BUT the most valuable commodity in space is found there. Many groups want to get ahold of Arrakis so there are plots against the Duke in order to take his power and the planet. Meanwhile the Duke’s son, Paul ends up an important figure in the future of the House of Atreides and Arrakis.]]> 2022-01-24 15:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/bresaliere/utpqpnn2ccvq1p6p/wish/2009018199 bresaliere https://padlet.com/bresaliere/utpqpnn2ccvq1p6p/wish/2009035303  “He who controls the spice controls the universe.”

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” 

“Paul felt that he had been infected with terrible purpose. He did not know yet what the terrible purpose was.” 

“The mind can go either direction under stress—toward positive or toward negative: on or off. Think of it as a spectrum whose extremes are unconsciousness at the negative end and hyperconsciousness at the positive end. The way the mind will lean under stress is strongly influenced by training.”]]> 2022-01-24 15:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bresaliere/utpqpnn2ccvq1p6p/wish/2009035303 bresaliere https://padlet.com/bresaliere/utpqpnn2ccvq1p6p/wish/2009058773 Dune is an older science fiction book and references/homages to it are found in lots of other series. It is like the science fiction version of The Lord of The Rings in terms of influence.

Tatooine in Star Wars looks directly based off of Arrakis plus the general environment in Star Wars is similar to the universe in Dune

There was a modernized movie of Dune made in 2021

The line in the animated Trolls movie “He who controls the trolls controls the kingdom!” is a reference to the similar quote about the spice in Dune]]> 2022-01-24 15:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bresaliere/utpqpnn2ccvq1p6p/wish/2009058773 bresaliere https://padlet.com/bresaliere/utpqpnn2ccvq1p6p/wish/2009082574 2022-01-24 15:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bresaliere/utpqpnn2ccvq1p6p/wish/2009082574 bresaliere https://padlet.com/bresaliere/utpqpnn2ccvq1p6p/wish/2009106507 Pros:
