00:0010,000 years before the birth of Paul Atreides we founded a sisterhood.
00:10The opportunity to tell a prequel story allows you to explore the early versions of the world building that takes place in the Dune proper story.
00:18It is very important to navigate where Dune prophecy fits within the Dune universe.
00:25Dune prophecy takes place roughly 100 years after the end of the great machine wars where humans overthrew thinking machines.
00:35Computers and artificial intelligence became a scourge on humanity.
00:40Basically like a war against AI.
00:43Humankind was nearly wiped out by the thinking machines.
00:46Coming out of this there was a tendency to lean back onto the pre-computed time.
00:54So there has definitely been a new rise of an ancient futurism.
00:59Well that's what's great about Dune. It's unpredictable in its futurism. Sometimes it's anti-future.
01:06That technology is forbidden!
01:10The presence of technology is very inflammatory. People are very afraid of it.
01:14The Imperium is really kind of shaped by the wars. It's something that threatens the harmony of what they have fought so hard to create.
01:26In our series we get to go beyond Arrakis and see other parts of the Imperium.
01:32We're going to look at the capital, Seleucus Secundus.
01:35Kaladin with the Atreides.
01:37Lancavale, homeworld of House Harkonnen.
01:40And Wallach Nine, the homeworld of the sisterhood.
01:42In the world of the Imperium, Seleucus Secundus is the one that is less affected by war and strife.
01:51The homeworld of House Harkonnen is called Lancavale. It's an ice planet. It's not a hospitable environment.
01:59Wallach Nine is a very sterile planet.
02:02Dune is very dry.
02:04Arrakis is very wet.
02:06But what this series does really well is it actually focuses on humanity.
02:10At its heart, it's a drama.
02:13It's about power. It's about politics. It's about facing your fears and fighting for what you believe in.
