Much like Emperor Napoleon of France in the 1800’s, on February 13, 2024, Sandy the Beardie crowned himself emperor of his owners Southern California home. All residents of the house immediately fell to their knees and exclaimed, “Long Live the Emperor” in unison. Many feel he could be the “lissan-al galib” (chosen one).
For the past three years Sandy the Beardie had been planning his Machiavellian strategy to seize power, then the prophesized sacred crown (possibly belonging to a pipe somewhere) appeared on the floor.
Sandy immediately realized that this was a sign from none other than Shai-hulud (the giant sandworm or perhaps the giant mealworm on Sandy’s case) that he should become the Kwisatz-Hadarach (chosen one) to rule Arakis (his cage).
Sandy the Beardie plans to manipulate what he calls “desert power” to overthrow his mortal enemies the Harkonnens (cats). The Harkonnens have a base setup outside the shield wall that must be destroyed.
Will our hero succeed aginst his mortal enemies? He will need the help of his trusty allies the Fremen, led by Stillgar his faithful general. Will the prophecy come true?
I am more than a little excited about the new Dune movie. It is such an amazing science fiction series. I actually started reading the books, well Audiobooks and it is fascinating that Frank Herbert wrote this in 1965 and it still enthralls us. What an imagination Frank Herbert had!
