Feyd is extremely corrupt and has tried to assassinate his uncle, the Baron, several times. After the Baron avoids a poison dart imbedded in a boy he was about to rape/kill, the Baron summons Feyd and tells him the assassination attempts have to stop because he is to be his heir. Feyd agrees. The Baron punishes Feyd by making him to go the slave quarters and kill every female in the pleasure wing with his own hands. |
The Baron tells Feyd that the soldier Feyd killed in the arena was not drugged so that Feyd would look better to the crowd. The Baron says he is giving Dune to Feyd and this will allow him to eventually sit on the throne. |
|
During the duel in the arena, the Baron is talking to Count Fenring. The conversation drifts to the Emperor’s prison planet and how the Baron is thinking of turning Dune into a prison planet of his own. This is a very dangerous conversation for the Baron to have as the Emperor has his own prison planet upon which he selects men for his elite soldiers called the Sardaukar. The Count suspects that the Baron might be trying to raise an army of Fremen to defeat the Emperor. |
No conversation between the Baron and the Count in the film.
