“You chose me for this position.”
“Not I,” he said. “Fate chose you. Your father chose you. The Bene Gesserit chose you. The Guild chose you. And they have chosen you once more. For what have they chosen you, Irulan?”

“He began to realize that there might be a certain fastidious courtesy in dying without a trace—no remains, nothing, and an entire planet for a tomb.”

Muse Preview- Irulan
In her girlhood she had read a story of a sea maid who had no soul and instead watched the world from beneath the waves. It had struck her even then that she and her sisters where like those sea maids watching in the waters. Watching the world of their father, the court, only to allowed to surface without a voice.
They had no space to cultivate their souls even if they had one. They were in a sense branded with their father's name, molded in the kiln of their mother and her Bene Gesserit sisterhood for their own ends and the ends of the Great Houses who coveted them like keys to unlocked rooms and unattended thrones.
Need to Knows
Irulan can be a bitch. She definetly has something of a petty streak in her and can come across as fairly emotional for a Bene Gesserit adept.
She's considered something of a disappointment by the Bene Gesserit not only because of the above, her inability to seduce Paul after their marriage but Irulan also has a very strong will of her own. She isn't afraid to push back against her Bene Gesserit teachers.
She is fiercely loyal to those she does care about and extremely protective of them.
On the subject of Paul- YeaaaAAAAaaaah no I don't like the idea of Irulan being in love with Paul given how verbally abusive he is of her in the book. She defects from the BG at the end of Dune Messiah and devotes herself to raising the twins because of Chani. In the book Chani is the one who defends her to Paul and advocates for her. It feels more logical and emotionally plausible for me to go this route. Irulan's decision to defect from the BG is also heavily influenced by her role in Chani's death.

Power ranking of all the characters from the new Dune adaptation
I know I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but thought I'd give my thoughts on the new sequel. It's great! The first one was an amazing adaptation, and this sequel improves on everything I liked about the first one.
I will also say that while it is a "sequel," I think it works well as a standalone: I think you can skip the first one and start with the new one. In fact, I actually recommend doing this, as it's just straight-up better in many respects.
For fun, I decided to put together a "power ranking" based on how good I think all of these characters are at winning. (This isn't an aesthetic value judgment of how much I enjoy these characters; I'm only evaluating them in terms of power level, or how highly I'd pick them as a leader if all I cared about was winning.)
Tumblr media
#1: Gurney Halleck
This dude rocks. He brings troops with him, and he'll help you get all the fun toys that let you do big explosive things.
Tumblr media
#2 Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen
If you hate Dune, the desert planet, he's your guy. No time for reconnaissance? Feyd agrees. Nobody's better at culling. Let this guy take all your daggers and thank him.
Tumblr media
#3 Muad'Dib
Probably uncontroversial to say that having Muad'Dib on your side will help you win, assuming you favor securing an early Fremen alliance: Sandworms not only win conflicts, but also give you better rewards for winning conflicts.
Tumblr media
#4 Princess Irulan
I like her a lot. Partly, this is the intrigue: I know that some people don't put as high a premium on intrigue, but it's always nice to have a surprise in your back pocket. Not quite as good at culling as Feyd, but she's still good at getting daggers out of your hand.
Tumblr media
#5 Shaddam Corrino IV
If you want the Sardaukar elites, you need him. But I prefer to think of that as just a minor bonus compared to the economic benefits: Shaddam has access to cold hard cash, and if you have run out of things to spend your money on, he can use that money to buy influence with the guilds.
Tumblr media
#6: Staban Tuek
If this were just a ranking purely based on how fun the characters are, this guy would be at the top of the list. If you have Staban on your side, you're going to have a good time.
The upsides of having Staban in your pocket are immense: if you want your pockets to be overflowing with spice, I can't think of anyone better to have at your side. The only problem (and it's a big one) is with his lack of diplomacy, as securing alliances is really important. By not having that, it feels like you're giving up several victory points that other leaders get "for free."
Tumblr media
#7 Lady Margot Fenring
Nobody's better at espionage, but I kind of feel like you need espionage location cards for her to be really good. If you can draft a rebel supplier, she can provide you with a constant loop where you send spies to cities, recall the spy to recruit more troops, and constantly draw more cards. However, sometimes that strategy just doesn't come together, especially if other players at the table are hate-drafting against you.
Tumblr media
#8 Lady Jessica / Reverend Mother Jessica
Probably the best thing Jessica can do is spend an extra water to cull two bad cards, which is admittedly very powerful. I like her as a deckbuilding leader who can save up memories for a turn when there's a big important card on the market. When it happens, it feels great. The problem is that you don't have the ability to make this happen reliably. There are situations where she's amazing, but in some games she just disappoints.
Tumblr media
#9 Lady Amber Metulli
The first time I sat down to play a game of Uprising and read her abilities, I thought she was amazing. And she is admittedly fun and easy to play. However, the more I see her in action, the more my estimation of her falls.
She seems like she has a lot going on...but she's just outclassed in every regard. She's kind of good at preserving troops by letting you pull them out of losing conflicts, but leaders like Gurney have abilities that just give you troops for free. She's kind of good at supplying you with money, but worse at it than Shaddam or Staban. She can generate spice, but is worse at it than any other leader with an ability that generates spice, and often she's generating 1-2 spice per game at a point when it's no longer relevant.
In short, she's very appealing for beginners, but as you begin to get a feel for the other leaders on the roster, it's really easy to see how she gets outclassed at basically everything she does.
Overall thoughts on the new adaptation:
As I said at the top of the post, it's a worthy sequel to a great board game adaptation, and if you're new to the series, I really do think you should just skip the original Dune Imperium and just start with Uprising.
Tumblr media
The original Dune Imperium had a great core design, but was held back by balance issues. Uprising just feels like a much more finely-tuned game, with better card balance, better board balance, and a few small tweaks that incorporate some of the best ideas from the expansions without feeling "bloated." (Part of the benefit of releasing Uprising as a sequel rather than yet another expansion was the opportunity to just start from scratch rather than having to figure out how to tack the additions onto the original game in a post-hoc manner.)

dune 2
beautiful, sensational, phenomenal
i'm not sure i've ever seen a sequel capture the atmosphere of the original so well. it truly felt like we were going back to arrakis
all of the additions to the cast did a fabulous job. idk who looked at austin butler and went "if that guy didn't have hair and eyebrows, he would look insane" but they were RIGHT
dude. the arena scene. feyd-rautha's birthday celebration. favorite scene, hands-down. the grayscale, the aesthetics, it was completely immaculate
the music. the cinematography. the COSTUMES (princess irulan's chainmail dress had me gagged).
lady jessica. She
this is one of those rare instances where i think the changes from the book were totally warranted and in fact made this story more relevant and meaningful to a modern audience. i cannot overstate how impressed i was with the direction they took paul and chani's characters and the holy war in general
brilliant film-making, there's really nothing more i can say than that

in non dune settings, irulan’s country is called the imperium, and the capital is kaitain. in terms of architecture and aesthetic, think tsarist russia. her father’s title is emperor of the imperium, and irulan’s title is princess royal. she is the eldest of five daughters, and will inherit the throne when her father dies. however, the emperor has made it clear that he would prefer for her to marry before assuming the throne so her husband can be emperor. 
the weather is often cold, with mild summers and harsh winters. 
kaitain is known as a great patron of the arts and sciences, with the emperor and irulan specifically, acting as patrons for many great thinkers and artists. 
in contrast, it also has a fearsome army and a web of spies. the army is trained in hellish conditions in the coldest regions of the country.

"You'd just use Irulan to gain your own ends, eh?" she asked. "Wasn't she trained to be used?" Paul asked.
Tumblr media
When calmness had returned, she thought: Let them spend me. I will show them what a princess is worth. Perhaps I'll buy them more than they expected.
