I hate to be THAT GUY, but the nevigators do not "fold space", the "Holtzman engines" do that, the navigator is there for his prescience, he is there to foresee any danger in the "folded route", so that the ship ("Heighliner") wouldn't pass through a planet or a sun that could exist in between the two points of fold.

A friend gave me the Dune Trilogy .. I read the first few pages of the first book, put the book down and didn't read further. This same friend took me to see the movie in 1984 .. it was so strange, I recall wondering why it wouldn't end and wishing it would. Then 10 years later, one night late, I caught the 1984 version on some cable channel .. at the point when Paul and Jessica were escaping. Either because I was older then or I cared to pay more attention, something clicked. Since then, I don't know how many times I've seen the various versions of the 1984 film nor how many times I've ready the books but Dune is my most favorite sci-fi. The depth is amazing. So many details. Denis' version is just eye candy with great writing, that while he skips some portions that provide that depth I love, he remains faithful to the idea that is Dune.

The 1984 version's navigator entrance scene is absoulutely outstanding for it's conception and effect to me. Whoever designed the navigator interpretation did a fantastic job and created a mass of mutation and atmosphere that I feel has never been bettered in sci-fi cinema. I also seem to be one of the few who prefer the protective fighting shield interpretation in the training scene in this movie as it fits in perfectly with the whole steampunky/victorian look of the film. Great presentation and info thanks.

why does everyone keep saying that the navigators use the spice to fold space? the Holtzman engines do the folding, the navigators just chart the course by looking through time to make sure the path the take wont land them in a star or next to a black hole. They're like mentats but with prescience, doing heavy calculations while taking in the trajectory and chaos of space to make sure the heighliner makes it to the other side

My first exposure to Dune 1984 was around 1986. I was 6 years old. My Mom was taping it for my adult sister from HBO. We came home from somewhere and turned on the tv just in time to catch the Baron pull the heart plug on someone and blood splatter everywhere. My Mom turned it off, but not before I got an eyeful. Same sister later got mad at me for writing sci-fi and horror short stories when I was a teenager. I really hope the guild navigators appear in Dune 3. But I will love it either way, I am sure.

One thing is for sure.. The guild navigators at the end of book 1 are part of the reason why pauls threat works and the emperor has to abide. Maybe that's why the fremen immediately had to jump in ships to fight the houses at the end of the 2nd movie. It was kinda weird seeing them immediately jump on the warships. They knew how to fly them? The atreides army was destroyed and they seemed to make no prisoners of the harkonnens and saurdakars. I can't remember the fighting starting right away in the books. I gotta go back and check it.

A lot of people are upset about Denis V. excluding Guild Navs and “folding space” in what is essentially the first part of his take on Dune (the first 2 films). First, there’s much more to come in these new adaptations. Second, it’s obviously not in any way critical to either of the films. Weirdo Guild navigators tripping on heavy spice gas while tweaking Holtzman Engines is nifty and all, but who cares in light of what’s happening in the characters and politics of the story? It amounts to nerding out for nerds’ sake. It’s like if you’re watching a heist movie about some dudes gathering to go over the big plan and then the director really wants to show the taxi driver’s experience and how internal combustion engines fire on cylinders! Who cares? It’s a pointless distraction from the emotional story AND the timeline of the story’s events. I know some will say, “But, but, but Herbert WROTE about the Guild and the engines! It MUST be important!” Sure, it’s important to the medium of books that can be much longer and in depth and detailed. Of course, the Guild has a greater role in the universe of the books. Yet, movie adaptations have to streamline and cutting sci-fi space ship and travel mechanics seems a perfectly good detail to cut or at least highly limit.

Folding the space inside of the highliner is a brilliant concept but I wish we could have seen a little more of the intricacies of how it worked. I know… mystery.

Part 2 does a good job of leaving open ends for the next movie.

My dad LOVED Frank Herbert's Dune. So when the 1984 version came on one day, he was like "omg you're watching". Some of the key characters from the movies and the books that I thought were interesting (besides Sting being Feyd-Rautha that was badass) were the Spacing Guild, ESPECIALLY when I saw that the navigator's were large misshapen worms with tiny fins. I looked later at what Frank Herbert imagined the Navigators to look like and that's when I saw the humanoid fish looking navigator with long arms and legs, webbed feet and hands, and webbed ears. I TOTALLY thought Denis was going to have them in the movie. Even though they might not have held any significance for the characters in the story. THE FANS WERE DYING TO SEE ONE. YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE DUNE WITHOUT NAVIGATORS? that is a let down. Also real quick why are the harkonnen's all bald they have reddish hair or blonde???? They had hair if not, Lady J would be bald....

Have you read Dune? The Navigators are mentioned but they aren't characters in the book, so omitting them was perfectly fine - there was already a effing ton of lore to put in the movie. Edric shows up in Messiah, so we'll see them then. Count Fenring was an interesting character but not at all pertinent enough for the story Villeneuve was telling. And the Harkonnen being bald is an artistic choice and it easily can be reasoned that it's due to Geidi Prime's environment (like their black sun) and all the chemicals they pump in their bodies. Jessica never lived on that planet so grew up looking normal. They were redheads only in the Lynch adapation. Feyd in the book is described as having black hair.

In the 1984 version the guild navigators help set the plot in motion by being prescient in seeing that Paul is a serious potential problem. The Bene Gesserit are trying in part to keep Paul safe in hope of controlling him, so at odds with the Navigators. Current Dune and the Bene Gesserit are the ones running everything from the shadows. I think it loses some power going from "the spice must flow" to "the Emperor just decides to end House Atreides from jealousy.

After watching the new Dune 2 (about 10 times now) the lack of even hint of the guild navigators and their aids make the new movies feel fundamentally unfinished. I also find Chani's character illogical in the new movies, she is the lover and closest confidant but she's portrayed as the enemy within and the ultimate disbeliever in Paul. I think the 1984 pronunciations of the names have a better dramatic punch specifically Leto and Harkonen.

These movies, especially the second one were a cool kind of "event" in the cinema. And I do like some movies from the director, especially "Blade Runner 2049".

I have to admit I was taken aback by the title of your video since I’ve read the books. 😉 However, I have an iron-clad rule to never comment on KZitem until I’ve watched the video. Now that I’ve watched it I can say I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it. You explained right away that the Guild Navigators don’t appear until Dune Messiah and you’re expressing your own thoughts. Well done. 👍 I also wanted to add as someone who is older than dirt and who has been a science fiction and fantasy fan for decades I agree 100% that Dune Part 1 and Part 2 are among the best science fiction movies ever made. In fact, I consider them to be the best adaptations of a science fiction or fantasy novel ever. And now my thoughts on the previous versions. I saw the ‘84 version when it was first released and absolutely hated it although it has bits that I liked. However, I don’t blame the wonderful David Lynch since it’s well-known that he lost control over the film. In fact, he has been very public about distancing himself from the finished film. As to the Sci Fi Channel version, I enjoyed it through Paul and Lady Jessica’s escape but then got bored with it and lost interest. So, I can’t really review it. One of these days I’ll watch the whole thing.

There was so much missing. What about Thufir Hawat?, nothing seen of him after the first Harkonnen attack. He had a large part of the end of the story in the first book.

Exactly. I commented that as well.

The Navigators will feature in Villeneuve's take on Dune Messiah - he was wise to hold them back in the first two movies because I believe they will be one of the highlights of Messiah.

I enjoyed both of the Sci-Fi Channel’s miniseries as well as the new movies, but each feels like only part of the whole story to me. The miniseries showed the mutual benefit between Paul and the Fremen with them teaching him the ways of the desert while he taught them the Bene Gesserit’s “weirding ways of battle,” while the movies neglected that combat altogether depicting Paul and Jessica just exploiting the Fremen. The movies showed the depths of the Bene Gesserits’ centuries-long manipulations of various planets’ cultures and governments while the miniseries just dabbled with that. The miniseries showed how much humanity’s economy and travel depended not just on the spice itself but also the Spacing Guild’s dominant control over its use while the movie just focused on showing it as a valuable psychoactive drug. The movies showed how common personal shield generators were used on and off the battlefield by upper class citizens and their armies while the miniseries briefly touched on them in a few scenes.

I found his adaptation of the squid aliens in Arrival allready amazing. You can see similarities in style of space crafts between that movie and Dune in my opinion. I wouldn’t be surpried to see similarities between the navigators and the squids, allthough not them being squids, but more the setting.

The 84 version is the best.

The navigator Edric is an active conspirator against Paul in Dune Messiah. We will almost certainly see him in that movie.

There is still a chance to see one. Since now both parts have been big hits, we can safely assume the next part will be coming. Will it be the last part? Only time will tell.

I gotta say, this was the thing i was most looking forward to seeing represented in the new films, much as I love them.

The 1984 Dune worked for about the first half, then it felt rushed and very poorly done. That being said, there are pleasures in Lynch's visualization.

The most fantastic thing about Frank Herbert's Dune series, that we don't encounter true Aliens from another Galaxy. Everyone is a version of human evolution twisted by use of Space Melange. And point fail highlight, Once you take Spice your hooked for Life. Therefore only powerful and rich can afford maintain the habit. When you stop taking Spice, it's agonizing death.

In 2001: A Space Odyssey it was decided not to reveal the aliens' appearance that abducted Dave Bowman. Kubrick and perhaps Clarke decided any form offered would cheapen the movie. Perhaps it was the same here and Villeneuve knew of this example however, his alien creatures in Arrival was fine.

Is not the spice that bends space.... is the Holtzmann effect. Spice is use to enhance their calculation skills to avoid obstacles.

I think we’re going to,see them in 3. They are key to the final decision of the houses and the culture to accept that Paul might use the atomic. Think we’re going to see more of Margot and count fenring, and a quick resolution of the split with chani. This may hope more than rational but they were all key to my love of the books 50 years ago.

The navigators were such a silly concept, the consequence of not having the understanding of the galaxy we have today.

Villeneuve didn't forget he purposely left them out because he said he wanted to focus on the Bene Gesserit?! Yes lets leave out the faction that centres on the entire reason why everyone in Dune is fighting and why Spice is so precious?! They very same faction that ordered Paul to be killed and put the focus on him instead of his father!
