Wait how do the bene gesserit in the first dune book not know a lot about Arrakis? Wouldn’t they need to in order to pull off the missionaria protectiva?
the rebellion doesn't make sense to me. How can a very scarce resource found on only one planet among the thousand inhabited planets stretch far enough to be readily available to everyone? By its very nature its rare, therefore prohibitively expense, way too much to be available to all. Since it is renewable thanks to the sandworm, sand trout cycle, then the situation is roughly the same 10K yrs later except for population growth, when Frank Herbert explains it's rarity, cost, and difficulty of production & distribution. What can the rebellion be thinking? Also they seem to forget that Fremen arent the primary miners, they mine it for their own use and to pay bribes but the main work is done by off worlders brought in by the current Arrakis overlords!
'Thinking' doesn't seem to be any of the rebels strong suits. They're useful idiots being manipulated by the Sisterhood to further weaken Emperor Javicco.
