Yeah, throughout the book we are only told about Rabban’s brutal rule of Arrakis, and he appears in person only once. He’s even killed offscreen, figuratively speaking.

My main picks for Emperor Shaddam IV are Michael Fassbender and Damian Lewis. In the book the Emperor is in his early 70s but looks no older than 35, however previous adaptations have cast old actors (Jose Ferrer and Giancarlo Giannini) which has always irritated me.

My picks for Princess Irulan are Elizabeth Debicki and McKenzie Davis.
