    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In the novel, Leto and Ghanima are 9. For the miniseries, they appear to be nearly twice that age, so they could be played by adults.
    • Goofs
      It is made clear in the original miniseries (as it is in the novels) that Princess Irulan (played by Julie Cox) is Emperor Shadam's eldest daughter. However, her sister Princess Wensicia (portrayed here by Susan Sarandon) is clearly much older than she is. Susan Sarandon is actually 26 years older than Julie Cox.
    • Quotes
      • Irulan: [narrated] When religion and politics ride in the same cart, the whirlwind follows.
