The HBO prequel series Dune: Prophecy may have just retconned a crucial characteristic of the Bene Gesserit in Denis Villenueve's Dune films. Dune: Prophecy is a six-part series based on the 2012 novel Sisterhood of Dune, which was written by original Dune author Frank Herbert's son, Brian, and Kevin J. Anderson. The story takes place more than 10,000 years before the rise of Paul Atreidies, which is chronicled in Denis Villenueve's Dune and Dune: Part Two .
✕ Remove Ads Extended flashback scenes displayed in Dune: Prophecy episode 3 reveal that Tula obeyed her sister when they were younger and killed Orry Atreides, a man who she seemingly loved. Valya led the effort to exact revenge from House Atreides after Vorian Atreides had accused their Harkonnen ancestor of cowardice. House Harkonnen was shunned by the Imperium as a result, reduced to harvesting whale fur on the harsh planet of Lankiveil.
Although Valya and Raquella are not shown interacting with the Thinking Machines in the tunnels, Tula's visit to them at the end of episode 3 reveals that Thinking Machine technology has been harbored there and is still usable/accessible to the Bene Gesserit. This would contradict the traditional understanding of the Bene Gesserit's methods as shown in the two recent Dune movies and as illustrated in Frank Herbert's Dune books.
