In the books, they are known collectively as the Sardaukar. Notice that there is no final s.

The script of this video sounds like you asked Chatgpt to pad out an essay on the Sardaukar.

Narrator: Sardaukar are feared throughout the universe "*Shows 20 Sardaukar getting owned by one man.

Tell me you haven't read the books without telling me you haven't read the books. Your ENTIRE history is 100% wrong. Salusa was an earth like planet, it didn't become uninhabitable til it got nuked in the Butlerian Jihad. It wasn't populated by colonists, it was the Emperor's prison planet. The Sardaukar were recruited from the prisoner population. The entire reason the Emperor helped the Baron take down House Atreides was because the Duke had trained a small military unit to within a hairs breadth of being equal to the Sardaukar. The significance of the Fremen was based in the fact that Dune was just as harsh an environment as Salusa, added to the Harkonnen fist they lived under for 80 odd years. Groups of Fremen women, children, and elderly could take down Sardaukar patrols, remarking only that "they fought well".

The reason why they used swords is because a nuclear explosion occurs when using a lasgun on a Holtzman shield.

You missed the part where Leto II turned their world into a garden, thus taking away their harsh training ground. They grew soft in their paradise.

That scene with the bodies lain out on the Ziggurat was out of ancient Sumar or Phonecia. The throat singing chanting was likewise bone chilling.

Let me know if I am wrong, but aren't Fremen & Sadaukar both the plural versions? No need for a "s" at the end. Like it's "The Fremen" and "The Sadaukar".

The biggest negative of the Sardaukar is them being constantly called “ The Sardaukars” by this channel. Edit: Can’t wait for your next video on “The Fremen’s” 😂

In Dune 2021 I think how they did the Sardauker planet (it's Salusa Secundus right?) was really well done. Kind of gave me the heebie jeebies with that guy in the middle of all the soldiers that sounded like he was doing Tuvan throat singing.. I don't know what it was but just that whole scene was really unnerving; very well done Denis Villeneuve!!!

It took ten sardukar to kill one fremen... Theres always something more deadlier than you.

Thanks for another great video....

Oh yes more Dune!!!!!! Thanks guys!!!

Both the singular and plural form is sardaukar.

Reminds me of Vikings, especially how they were doing sacrifices (Pagan) and markings on faces (tattoos)

Is this narration auto-generated, or is it just me?

Keep these dune videos coming.

KZfaq video idea 💡 ? The top 10 most powerful characters in the TMNT universe

Sardukars ,not Sardaukars....anyway,great content as always...keep it coming bro 😎

Good morning, how are you doing ? your videos are super interesting, but can you provide French subtitles for French viewers, thank you.

idk they seemed pretty weak in the movies. They moved slow and i didnt saw any special movement , while the Fremen were jumping leglocking or otherwise maneuvering around them easily. Imo they were underused in the movies.

Games Workshop: STEAL EVERYTHING! Also G.W: Dont steal our I.P.

Did you consult the Brian Herbert books in this? I admit not remembering this level of detail about them in the original Frank Herber books.

If fenreng wasn't at the emperor's side and guiding him he wouldn't be on the throne

Another problem with using a lazgun on a shield is it would go nuclear.

You've been showing us a video of Saudaukar being murdered back to back.... While telling us how tough they are? What the heck!

I find it odd when house Corrino had its limit placed on its military size the Sardukar got weak instead of being a small army of even more skilled warriors.

parabéns pelo vídeo Tmj irmão 👍

The Sardaukar origin in this video: tell me you haven't read the Dune books (even the bad ones), without telling you you haven't read the dune books...go

Where was the art sampled from?

how does this have 12 views!! you may need to reupload man!

What happened to Salusa being destroyed, in a Nuclear Conflagration, the Imperian House is nearly wiped out,.. Then House Corrino moves to Kaitain

Thanks.

Sardaukar-S??? A lot of us are fanatic fans of Dune. Please get the names right

Thanks

Wow, I thought Fremen were the fanatics. Welcome the Sardaukar. WOW.

Next do one on the Fremen’s and the Atreides’s

“Deadliest” until they encounter the fremen

Nobody in the Dune universe is "native" to any planet. All the planets are originally from some sort of colonists, or such.

When we be "blessed" with episode 2 of the DUNE remake? Will we also see a remake of the rest of the "DUNE Story"?

“Sardaukarz.” 😢

Trained on the prison planet...Salusa Secundus! But Fremen they are NOT! Thanks for this video, the nuances of Dune are often lost in the hollywood sham!

“Who we can can presume is in his 40s” combined with the image on screen is when I gave up. You’re mostly right but you’re either wrong or stretching the wrong to make a point just enough that I’m moving on.

I don't think the second Dune movie gave them justice. They were way too easily defeated by Paul and his Freeman who didn't have much in the way of air support. Plus it was pretty dumb to put your base in the middle of an open area in the middle of the desert.

Sooo, what you're basically trying to say (badly, may I add) is they evolved into Apache Warriors.

Habitable, hospitable, inhabitable vs Inhospitable, uninhabitable... Flesh out vs weed out

They got served in dune 2

The atmosphere of Arrakis did not allow the use of laser type weapons

Sardaukar is plural already.

“Black and gold uniforms.” Sardaukar: “white”

You think the Sardaukar might also be genetically enhanced? Cause in the 1984 Dune film we see a Sardaukar throw an Atreides soldier like an empty cardboard box.

It's just Sardaukar no finale s. Sardaukar is both singular and plural.

The Sadukar were Finnish when on Earth

Fremen next

AAAAAHHHHHHHGH!!! 😟😨😖😣 SARDAUKAR IS PLURAL ENOUGH FOR ALL OF THEM!! 😱🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Ace video, but please stop refering to the Sardaukar in the plural.

the blood ritual is only from the Villeneuve movie

I don't know...the recent Dune movie had them fairly easily dispatched by Duncan until he was outnumbered and overwhelmed. Maybe it's just a movie thing? They honestly behaved too much like fodder to be that fearsome.

Please do top 10 Marvel quick silver and thank you for everything and we love you so much ❤

Was he thinking Sparta? Not Rome.

Black and gold uniforms??? Someone's colorblind 🤪👀

Bullcrap - Salusa Secundus was once the capital of the Imperium. House Corrino was forced to abandon it for Katain after another noble family detonated a nuclear bomb there, rendering the planet barely habitable. The Sardaukar army emerged from the planet after it was declared a prison. They weren't around during the Butlerian Jihad.

So they are ODSTs and the Fremen are Spartans.

God made Arrakis to train the faithful, one cannot oppose the will of God. That's why Sardukar can't beat the Fremen.

Black n gold? Is this one of those spectrum discrepancies?

The one thing I've always hated, which the recent movie proved, is how abject BS the concept of that impact shield is (which you start going into further at 15:11). Even with the shield working exactly as stated where only "slow" stuff can get through it, ranged weapons should still have been astoundingly dominant. 1) We see many times that someone or something that is hit by a long range projectile that the shield stops is still subject to kinetic energy and momentum; they get pushed backwards, so some of the kinetic energy dispersed from the shield goes into them and they are definitely demonstrated to experience pain in these instances. But the weapons used looked to be small needle guns firing lower velocity darts; now picture something a lot higher caliber (for you Counterstrike fans out there, imagine a hit from the AWP)...such large amounts of kinetic energy dispersed into the wearer WILL cause damage. 2) Even accepting only slow stuff can get through the shield and ignoring the kinetic energy transfer I mentioned in point 1, there are a VAST number of other options for applying lethal "slow" damage at range. Flamethrowers/firebomb projectiles, canister-firing weapons that on impact with a shield spray out large quantities of acid or toxic gas, sound cannons, swarms of microdrones with toxic or explosive payloads like the one launched at Paul from the dude stuck in the wall...so many options that are better than swords.

"based on ancient Roman " surely you meant Spartan

Sardaukar epitomizes the myth of the perfect warrior. History is repleat with the toxic failures of the golden warrior culture. Examples include Sparta, Zulu, 1940's Germany & Japan, etc. Like most works of fiction, Dune is not immune to plot holes you can drive a moon through.

I could only handle 3 mins of mispronunciation. Shame. Look like a good vid.

It is very hard to take seriously any self styled Fount of Information about a subject...when the Fount in question cannot even get the name right. It is "Sardaukar", no "S". NOT one sardaukar, two sardaukars. Then there's the overwrought ludicrously purple prose, all said in a voice that makes Ron Burgundy sound restrained. A style straight from a late night cable ad flogging The Best Knife You'll Ever Own.

I have never really like this particular origin of House Corino nor of the Sardukar.

👍

Is this made by AI? Why are we being shown Arrakis while talking about how difficult the climate on Selusa Secundus is?? This is all nonsense.

It’s Sardaukar. Like sheep. If you see 30 sheep, you say “I can see 30 sheep” (not 30 sheeps). I turned the video off within 20 seconds. Because you kept saying “The Sardaukars…” Like if someone made a video explaining the history of the Chevrolet Corvette, but pronounced it Corveet. You just instantly lose credibility.

That world used to be the imperial capital before a rogue house used Nukes to blow it up trying to kill the Emperor and his blood line.That place used to look like 🌎 before the Nukes went off.thats what it say,s in the books homie. And it's a prison world.

Lmao, I just call em them all huff no puff troops.

Uhg the multiple pronunciation mistakes of basic words. High quality content.. def not pumped out as quickly as possible.

So is this where viltrimites came from??

the second deadliest

The plural of Sardaukar is Sarduakar. You never even read the book.

Well, after training. They live a lavish lifestyle, as well as royalty, wealth, beautiful women, and mansions. Ect . Not to mention after puberty. Sex is s reward for a good day's training. As well they father a lot of children. Female saurdukar. Indurance training requires repeated pregnancies. From puberty onwards. .

The plural of Sardauker is Sardauker. You lost all credibility about 30 seconds in.

I thought i watching Hindi film when they spoke. The language. 😂

What a load of hogwash! Salusa Secondus was the Emperor’s prison planet and the Sardaukar were enlisted from the toughest inmates. The planet itself was hostile as it was nuked during the Butlerian Jihad, fighting for the Emperor gave the Sardaukar a slightly better life off world. You should definitely read the books before commenting

This video could have been done in 2 minutes instead you took ten times as long repeating the same thing.

Silly blood gathering system for a super rainy planet. The blood will just get washed out by the rain. Disappointing all around. Ach, poor design! They do not LOOK anything at all like the way they're described in the novels. They're said to all have a similar-ish appearance - bird of prey like, with an exceptionally arrogant mien. Because they're exceptionally arrogant. Even if one is covered up in some concealing outfit, he can recognized simply by the way he stands or walks. And, although they came from that very harsh planet, once they take up their official positions and duties, they live in splendidly luxurious and indeed, decadent surroundings. Where they get whatever they want. Bit of a let down to just see some scraggy beardy middle aged balding geezers. Look like hills people from Deliverance. More untouched by dentistry, than elite weapons made flesh. Their bad hygiene is what's lethal, not their fighting skills.

I think the sacrifice are volunteers because through out history war sacrifice have always been a pride of place.

Omg, how silly. Why do people think human history is so uninteresting that they think fictional universes are interesting? Is it not just the most embarrassing sort of ignorance?

guns could fix alot of things..

Idk.. from what I saw in Vilneuve's Dune, Sardaukar didn't seem that formidable.. I mean if movie wanted to show them as very "scary" and "formidable", I don't think it's enough to show their homeworld and how they sacrifice people for some religious preparation for battle.. it especially didn't work when Dunkwn Idaho singlehandedly took down dozens of them, and even in his "last stand" he killed something like 6 or 8 of them.. I get that Idaho was suppose to be this badass, but if you want to create an illusion that Sardaukar are "elite" warriors, getting hammered by a single guy doesn't help that image.. I think in the movie, when the attack on Arakis have started, initially it should've been Harkonen troops vs Atreidis troops, and Atreidis troops getting upper hand even when caught by surprise, and only when Sardaukar engaged directly did the battle turn around.. it also could've shown how Sardaukar individually were taking on 2 or 3 Atreidis soldiers and defeating them.. Now THAT would've shown how formidable they are..

Chat gpt

Are there any female Sardaukar?

Weird to acknowledge the blood rite scene as Villeneuve's embellishment, then talk about it as though it were canon. Also, the fight scenes in the movie absolutely DO NOT display any slow-blade technique whatsoever. Not even the training scene with Paul and Gurney(you just see them tussle, then the end product of both having gotten their blade through). Strange it isn't pointed out more. I think the fighting style necessary for personal shields would've been much different - focusing on disarming, with some grappling for control, penetration, and the kill. Engagements might've been pretty drawn out, therefore, with many ending up on the ground for some duration. That doesn't seem like it would translate well to large-scale battle. It also would put Paul at an insurmountable disadvantage against someone like Gurney. And it seems that the only tenable plans would *always be guaranteed* to sacrifice the best troops of at least one side. Think about it. They'd get an idea of proportion of casualties, along with the rate they were losing, then send in their best to try to turn it around, with strategic timing. Then maybe they'd still stay ahead despite the other side sending in their best afterward. Maybe. It would be decisive, for sure. So there would be even greater disincentive for war to begin with, even than that of feudal times. That might be a relatively little-known fact, though. Real time tactics would take on greater focus - in proximity, accuracy, and scale, with all the advancements achieved in intelligence and technology. So it would have an immense impact on militarism as a whole, such that single combat/dueling would probably be favored. Kind of hard to imagine how things would play out, otherwise. If sci-fi is supposed to be informed by some measure of realism, then it doesn't have to not make sense. And war already doesn't. So it's like there was a deliberate parallel in the story, but with a twist. The ideal-future-for-all wasn't necessarily the aim. It is fiction, after all. Right? The narrator basically admits it @21:30. So there'll be some holes, inevitably. Anyhow, as I've thought out how war would more likely be, I've come to the conclusion that people would have to deliberately maintain a conflict culture - especially in a future involving such things as interstellar(and even more especially intergalactic) travel, in order to have war. They'd have such means of production and communication, access and implementation, that there would be extremely low motivation for it all-around. They might have some kind of "assurance" that the consequences wouldn't necessarily be catastrophic, however. At least regarding the basic aspect of loss of life. But with that would come a devaluation thereof. Say, if people could be regrown/"cloned". They'd just see life as disposable, and not care about anything anymore. Good thing that's not happening - or at least won't succeed despite such ideas and plans being generally laid out - even popularized somewhat already. Yeah, these stories might be seen as implicit messages if one were to start thinking about it like that.

The Sardaukar became complacent in their hubris -keep telling yourself you are the best for long enough and you will believe it and the contempt they hold for their enemies becomes their undoing.

blabla blablabla

Narration is pityful. No continuity.

Every time you say Sardaukars I cringe

The Sardukars was the most fearsome warriors but not anymore. They were so feared that that only a whisper of a threat of a Sardukar would end wars. So the Sardukar of the books have not been in any significant battle for almost a thousand years. They have grown soft and with a too high an opinion of teir own ability and worth. the Freemen did not respect them they saw them only as easy prey. If you are going to do lore videos on the Dune universe at least read the books first.

the Atreides flying crafts Villeneuverse should’ve been called entomopters, nothing avian about them.

Too annoying.
