WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DUNE MOVIE-GUIDE: HOUSES👁🗨
House Harkonnen
At the beginning of Dune, the family responsible for mining spice on Arrakis is the Harkonnen family.
The homeworld for this family is massively industrial and polluted, meaning they had done such a good job stripping their own planet of its natural resources the emperor thought they would be perfect for mining Arrakis.
House Harkonnen is asked to leave Arrakis at the beginning of the Dune story because they were stealing spice to sell on the side instead of giving it all to the emperor.
House Atreides
As one of the most popular of the Great Houses in the universe, Duke Leto Atreides and the rest of his family have built a reputation for doing the right thing and helping those in need.
They are incredibly popular, and it is believed that if they run the mining operations on Arrakis it would keep everyone in spice for a very long time.
Fremen
The native people of Arrakis are a tribal people dedicated to living in harmony with the planet, which frequently makes outsiders see them as supernatural or even magical for being able to survive in the desert and coexist with the massive sandworms.
Fremen are usually easy to spot, as they all have spent so much time with spice in the air, water and food they have developed deep blue eyes. The whole eye is blue, not just the retina, and they call this the Eyes of Ibad.
You'll also see Fremen wielding a crysknife, a sacred weapon forged from the tooth of a giant sandworm.
Bene Gesserit
There's an intergalactic guild of supernaturally enhanced womenin this universe, called the Bene Gesserit. Among many other things, these women can alter the chemical composition of their own bodies to create poisons and manipulate others through a power of suggestion called The Voice. This collection of abilities is frequently referred to as The Weirding Way, and even includes a particularly lethal form of combat. The BeneGesserit are frequently revered as holy women, cursed as spies or witches, and generally feared and respected everywhere.
It's extremely rare for a man to be taught the ways of the Bene Gesserit, much less be particularly good at using their abilities, because they're extremely careful with their breeding and picking who gets trained.
