We're the cast of Dune: Prophecy,

and we're going to answer the most Googled questions

about Dune.

[upbeat music]

Which character said, He who controls the spice

controls the universe?

Is that Harkonnen?

Oh, that's got to be Desmond Hart.

[buzzer sounds]

No.

How can you walk without rhythm?

Sand walk?

You gotta do that little thing where you're like this,

[buzzer dings]

you go like everyone's grandad does.

Yeah. Like that.

The one, two step.

What do the Fremen wear to keep body moisture?

Stillsuit, right?

[bell dings]

Yeah. Yes.

That's in, straightaway. There we go.

We're on a roll now, guys.

Okay, okay.

In Dune, what valuable resource is only found

on the planet Arrakis?

[All] Spice! [bell dings]

Bang, nailed it.

Lisan-al-Gaib [bell dings]

What? Whoa!

Okay.

What do the Fremen call the sandworms?

[All] Shai-Hulud!

Got one.

When does Dune: Prophecy take place?

Ten thousand years before the birth of Paul Atreides.

Yeah.

How many books did Frank Herbert write

in the original Dune series?

A lot. A lot.

So many. [buzzer sounds]

Why does Dune have Arabic words?

Because it's the oldest language.

That sounds like a good answer.

[buzzer sounds]

Like everything has Arabic in it, right?

Did House Atreides have nukes?

Nukes?

Nukes, nudes?

Did House Atreides have nudes?

[all chuckling]

Probably because they asked this question, right?

Yeah.

Why does Dune use swords?

Because other stuff is banned?

Yeah, I think the Machine Wars were...

Oh, I thought it was because of the shields.

[bell dings]

Because you can't shoot stuff at it.

True, as well. Oh!

Because it's not slow enough?

Yeah, to break the Holtzman shield, the slower the blade,

the better to get through it.

Is the prophecy in Dune real?

I'm going to say yeah.

[buzzer sounds]

Yeah. Yeah.

[indistinct chatter]

Is Dune: Prophecy canon?

It's new cannon, right?

Is that called head canon?

Once it comes out it's canon,

but I don't think in relation to the books,

it's completely canon,

because some characters are created

such as mine, Lila.

Or Jordan's.

So is it canon for the film but not for the books?

I feel like it's canon now.

Can it just be canon because we said?

Canon. It's canon.

Canon. It's cannon.

Certified canon.

What rite do Paul and Jessica participate in

to join the Fremen?

They drink the poison water,

but isn't the water the sweat of dead people?

It's the, it's the water of dead people.

Oh yeah it is.

Oh yeah, you get drained.

You get drained.

Drained of all your moisture

and then they drink that and then they get very...

But we also know that Paul proves himself

by fighting Jamis, right?

Yeah.

[Josh] Is that the ritual?

And he rides a worm.

who governs the known universe?

Emperor Javicco. Mark Strong's character.

[Jessica] Oh, Javicco. Yeah.

Which character can control others with the Voice?

In Dune: Prophecy is me. [bell dings]

Valya.

Valya.

Paul can do it.

Paul.

Jessica can do it.

And Lady Jessica.

And Reverend Mothers.

Not all Reverend Mothers.

[bell dings]

No, it depends on what skill you get,

but you can teach people, like Valya teaches people.

Is Paul the villain in Dune?

Nah, he's not the villain.

This is debatable, right?

Is it the anti-hero, so you're the, you're both?

Isn't that a great character though, when you're like...

Everybody's a goodie and a baddie.

The goodie and a baddie, exactly.

What is the role of the Mentats?

They're mathy,

they're like math people. [bell dings]

Yeah mind, intellect.

Why do Harkonnens hate the Atreides?

Because they're liars.

Well, there's debate to be had there, you know,

there's debate to be had.

An age old war, right?

I feel like I'm right in the middle of the this.

Yeah, there's something going on here.

Okay, genuinely, no

I am not going to disagree

because I do know what happens in the book.

It starts from the Machine Wars, right?

Yeah, because we were like accused

of being like war cowards.

Like we lost all of our status

and we were banished to like the whaling planet.

And then you blamed Vorian for the death of Griffin.

Oh god, now it's getting heated.

Which Dune character is known as 'the Beast'?

Is it Duncan?

No, no, it would be...

Jason Momoa's character.

Yeah, it must be, yeah.

I dunno.

No, yeah, Austin, Austin is the beast.

[buzzer sounds] Austin...

Yeah, he's the beast.

Oh.

Why did the Atreides go to Arrakis?

To get spice, right?

They were, they were told by the emperor

that they could govern Arrakis

and it was their chance to lead.

[bell dings]

Little did they know there was people

going behind their back.

What was the name of the Fremen leader

who first accepted Paul into the desert tribe?

[Chris] Stilgar. Stilgar.

Oh.

Why did Baron give up his daughter?

Because he is horrible.

Because she wants to be Bene Gesserit, right?

What superbeing are the Bene Gesserit trying to make?

They're trying to make Paul.

They're trying to make the ... Oh yeah!

They're making the...yeah!

How many major houses are there?

Eight [buzzer sounds] feels like a nice number.

Eight?

I wanna say seven, eight.

There's what, Atreides...

How many different factions are there?

Is this like...?

For Bene Gesserits.

Oh, but is it, oh, is that what that is?

I feel like there's another one that I'm missing.

[buzzer sounds]

There is, there's more, there's loads.

Why is Paul Atreides' son a worm?

Why is his son a worm?

[all laughing]

Why is Paul Atreides' son a worm?

It literally says son worm, like S-O-N worm.

So wait,

what has Paul Atreides been up to?

We want to leave this to Chalamet.

[buzzer sounds]

He's been paid way more money than us.

Leave his son out of it, he's shy.

[all laughing]

This is such a good band name.

How do the Bene Gesserit sisters unlock their memories?

By... They go through the agony.

Which is taking a poison.

They have to transmutate? [bell dings]

They have to transmute the poison into the bloodstream

so that they can, they don't die, basically.

Yeah.

Why doesn't the emperor rule Dune himself?

He does rule, because he rules all the people.

He doesn't live on the planet because he has to be

in that oil [buzzer sounds]

because he's like he's so old.

Is it because...

That's not the emperor though, that's just the Harkonnen?

I think he doesn't rule Dune himself

because of the Fremen, right?

How did humans get to Arrakis?

Oh, I don't know this.

Delta Airlines. [buzzer sounds]

[all laugh]

Who betrayed House Atreides?

Everyone.

Did the Imperium betray them

because they sent them to Arrakis when it was...

Ah yes, yes, yes. Set up.

Who is Leto Atreides wife?

Jessica, right? [bell dings]

Jessica, yeah.

Rebecca Ferguson.

Who is the royal family in Dune?

The Corrinos

[bell dings]

Yes. Facts.

How powerful is House Corrino?

How much time have you got? [bell dings]

Very.

Ultimately, a lot.

What is an acolyte in the Bene Gesserit?

You're looking at 'em.

They're basically a student of the sisterhood.

That have gone through training.

and are on their way to...

...hopefully one day...

...becoming a mother.

Reverend Mother.

What happened to House Harkonnen after Dune?

What do you mean?

There's so many things happen to them.

It's a lot.

Who are the Harkonnen?

Rivals to the Atreides.

In the films, very powerful.

They're not powerful in our show.

[bell dings]

Ultimately, who are the Harkonnen is a deep question.

Who is the all-female military force?

Fremen, wait.

The Bene Gesserit., right?

Military? Not military.

Oh, Johnny in the in the thing has it.

I didn't know there was an all-female...

In the, in the, I dunno.

[buzzer sounds]

Maybe it is the Bene Gs.

How did the Harkonnens treat the Fremen?

Probably badly. Probably not good.

Not very nice.

I can't imagine the Harkonnens

treat anyone nice though, right?

Like pests.

What can the superbeing do?

What is the superbeing?

I'm a superbeing.

You're a superbeing?

Oh.

Sick.

What can you do?

Wait, so basically all sisters training to be superbeings?

Yeah, the Bene Gessarits were superbeings.

Because they can control...

Mind control, yeah.

Control their body down to a molecular...

Level. ...level.

Yeah.

So they can do the Voice,

which is commanding people to do what they want.

They can also...

Talk to ancestors.

...access their ancestors.

Read mind. Truth say.

And they can fight like...

And they're good at science.

They can like make potions.

Well, we answered those very successfully.

And we obviously know everything about Dune.

Please tune in.

And maybe then you'll be able to answer these questions.

Yeah, like what, please, why is Paul Atreides' son a worm?
