    A mythic and emotionally charged hero's journey, "Dune" tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet's exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence - a commodity capable of unlocking humanity's greatest potential - only those who can conquer their fear will survive.

      This stems from a deliberate in-world decission. Generations ago humanity faced a lot of problems with computers / AI (well mostly computers, as the concept of AI wasn't that prevalent of a thing in the 60' when the book was written).
      For one computers and those who can control computers gain a lot of power over a lot of people via their ability to control computers. Power leads to corruption - and yeah, a large population controled by a corrupt minority with access to tech... leads to problems.
      The other idea - which a lot of Dune revolves around - is that hardship creates harder folks, while comfort leads to stagnation or degeneration (again, this isn't really reflective of our reality, but it's a quite common sci-fi trope from that time.) So considering people leaving all the thinking to computers, leads to degneration over time - especially with the above mentioned corrupt elite in control.
      Long story short - those problems led to a pretty impactful uprising called 'Butlers Jihad' after one Serena Butler who lead the uprising - which resulted not only in the destruction of most 'thinking machines' but also fixated this distrust in complex technology in culture and even religion. It also gave rise to factions as the 'Mentats' which are basically human computers, ridicolously well trained logicians - like Thufir Hawat we see in the scene - and other human specialists. Basically - without the thinking machines humanities ability to train specialists to become supernatural thinkers, geneticists, physicians and so on is unlocked.
      And this leads to the low tech aesthetic which the movie brilliantly shows.

      There is nothing to be done, the Emperor and House Harkonnen have already fully checkmated Atreades by the time this scene comes about. If Atreades refuse the imperial edict they are overtly resisting the emperor meaning they will be crushed by all the other houses. If they accept, it is knowingly falling into a trap. The best they can do is accept the edict and try to outplay whatever traps and schemes Harkonnen have in wait on Arrakis.

      After the machine uprising and fall, they don't have any AI or computer-assisted equipment in that universe. Everything is calculated and forecast by living people or their modified versions/clones. Also, the universe has developed so deep that modern standards are mixed in sometimes very strange ways there. Old ways, like using scrolls or knifes, could be more efficient, whereas "modern" technology got outdated - like firearms made obsolete by inventing force field generators.

War pushes tech-forward. Otherwise, we see apple pushing the same iPhone with minor changes every year. Even iPhone is not innovative. They crammed a lot of already existing tech into a smaller device.

      @@sl600rt On the last point I will disagree. Spice has geriatric properties that extends life, while not granting immortality, human spice addicts were known to live half a millennium. If Kynes had come to Arrakis as a 40 year old woman, with the Spice being everywhere and in everything, then she could easily be 140 and not have aged much physically.
      I do agree however that since the Fremen were cast as Semitic and Arabic centric, something odd to that phenotype should have been called for to complete the translation, so someone of an Oriental(Chinese, Japanese or perhaps Mongolian) descent if they were so desperate to avoid casting a Caucasian.

      Yeah, an event called the Butlarian Jihad took place before the events of Dune by I think several thousand years. This was a war on "thinking machines" which attempted to "rise up" against humanity. (Very watered down description). Afterwards, while they still obviously possess amazing technology, none of it is supposed to "think" and in particular none of it should "take the likeness of the human mind". If I'm correct, afterwards if anyone were to create "thinking machines" it would be legal grounds to use atomic weapons on whomever broke this taboo, the use of such weapons being extremely rare in the universe.

      &It wasn't until BSG with their huge hulking behemoths with side landing pods that I thought WHAT IF u made a ship that looked like that retracting side landing pod.. the size of a Galactica?
      One big hollow passage through the middle.. just like a carrier has a double ended runway..
      I like to think that aswell as functioning as a bridge portal for DUNES holtzman wormhole tech.. this was also meant to facilitate dual embark/disembarkation where attack ships can leave either end of the massive ship
      Also the idea of an aircraft carrier is that it is basically a floating town that's mostly self sustainable &can reach any major ports within weeks making it a HUGE force projection asset to any nation deploying them

      It was more than just the Atreides. The Atreides had power in the Lansraad due to their morals and reputation for honor. The Harkonnen due to their money from mining Arrakis Spice. The Emperor forced the Harkonnens to bankroll the entire destruction of the Atreides. This actually nearly bankrupted the Harkonnens. Two threats gone (supposedly) all for supplying 3 battalions of Sardukar and providing off books permission for a massacre.
