the beginning is a very delicate time. know then that this is the year 10191. the known universe is ruled by the padishah emperor Shaddam IV, my father. in this time the most precious substance in the universe is the spice melange. The spice extends life. the spice expands consciousness. the spice is vital to space travel
the spacing guild and its navigators whom the spice has mutated over 4000 years use the orange spice gas to fold space, which gives them the ability to fold space that is, to travel to any part of the universe without moving.
oh yes, i forgot to tell you, the spice is found on only one planet in the universe, a desolate and dry planet of vast deserts. hidden away in the crevices of this planet are a people known as the Fremen who have long held a prophecy that a man would come, a messiah, who would lead them to true freedom. the planet is Arakis also known as Dune.

@zetasyanthis I saw some of it, and mostly remember them trying to make Irulan more interesting/give her more to do. And being way truer to the book with the Atreides arriving on Arrakis. I don't remember the soundtrack to it that well, just the Toto soundtrack for the Lynch version. I still haven't seen the Villeneuve version.

@Leucrotta
Have you seen the sci-fi miniseries Children of Dune? (I'm guessing yes?) I love that soundtrack. <3
