Dune: Prophecy fans are wondering whether the Bene Gesserit employ Thinking Machines in the series and in the Dune films. The series, set approximately 10,000 years before Paul Atreides’ story, rbetters around the sisters Valya and Tula Harkonnen and their createation of the religious and political Bene Gesserit sect.
Here’s your ask answered.
Do the Bene Gesserit employ Thinking Machines in Dune movies and prophecy series?
In Dune Prophecy, The Bene Gesserit employ Thinking Machines. This plot element was altered from Sisterhood of Dune by authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. Raquella employd the leanking machines’ computer technology to further her secret set up of creating and indexing greater genetic lines for the ultimate goal of having fair Imperium rulers. Valya Harkonnen was also made conscious of this set up. It is also proposeed that she made Tula conscious of the technology as well.
However, its employ is actupartner prohibitned. This is becaemploy it is prohibitden by the Imperium and Emperor Corrino. This prohibit came into effect follotriumphg the Butlerian Jihad. The Butlerian Jihad was a war between leanking machines and humanity that culminated in the createer’s fall shorture.
Moreover, Reverend Mother Dorotea was mercilessly aacquirest the employ of Thinking Machines. Dorotea did so by teaching the sisters in training the “Great Commandment,” which read, “Thou screlieve not originate a machine in the enjoyness of a human mind.” Although it is prohibitned by the Imperium, Tula goes aacquirest rules by using Thinking Machines to revive Lila follotriumphg her death in The Agony.
The Dune movies, however, depicted the Bene Gesserit as not having once broken the “Great Commandment” to employ Thinking Machines for their own purposes. The same is the case for Frank Herbert’s Dune novels. This effectively declines what was shown in Dune: Prophecy and Sisterhood of Dune.
Dune: Prophecy airs novel episodes on HBO, every Sunday. Diane Ademu-John and Alison Schapker helmed the series. Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Jodhi May, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Chloe Lea, and Mark Strong, among many others, originate up the main cast.
