Entire 10000 Years of Harkonnen History & Lore Explored - The Remarkable Rise And Downfall Explained
482We said this in another video, but Dune Prophecy should’ve been titled Dune: House Harkonnen, because it pretty much serves as their hidden backstory. In the original Dune saga, the Harkonnens serve no other purpose than being the Big Bads for Paul Atreides to slay. They’re Nazi Germany against Paul’s Allied Fremen. Denis Villenueve makes this association even more explicit with that military parade scene from Dune Part Two. But the expanded Dune-iverse is where we get to really understand the depth of Harkonnen depravity, and also how they were the Hidden Hand that swayed the Imperium for ten thousand years. In this video, we will take a look at the Hidden History of House Harkonnen, their fall from grace and rise to power, as well as how they shaped the very fabric of the Dune storyline, all the way down to God Emperor of Dune. So without further ado, strap in for what’s gonna be a hell of a ride!
