I don't like feeling gaslit. there is almost nothing at all, the sisterhood, the imperium, the spacing guild, arakis, the freemen, shai halud, nothing at all different from the OG DUNE universe, and this is supposed to be 10 thousand years before the occurrences of DUNE (as if anything including freemen, their seitches, lol, anything) which would be surprise to the Harkonens or Atreidies after 10 millenia of colonization. 10 THOUSAND YEARS, and it's the same window dressing, same lore, same everything. Think about where current Human timeline was 10k years ago. I'm sorry, you all might be cool with this suspension of disbelief, but I'm not, and it constantly takes me out of the narrative. "Hey, they liked DUNE, a lot, we still got all the sets, and the costumes, and the fx folks, why don't we just ...... you know ..... make another DUNE, but tell them it's 10 THOUSAND YEARS before, and get this, this is the best part, we don't change a single thing. think they'll go for it? i mean can we sell it? how bout multiple seasons? gonna be huge terry, huge i tell ya"
I mean, the whole point of the Dune novels from God Emperor on is how the stagnation of the human race will be its downfall, and that part of that stagnation was the Corrino empire following the defeat of the thinking machines, so it's not that surprising.
