Reply to comment by RegulusRemains in The 1984 Dune film makes a lot more sense if The Spice is referred to as Space Cocaine instead. by neoengel

Interesting that he says the scarce water of dune is oil. Was that misspoken and meant to mean the scarcity of spice on dune is oil?

I think he was talking about the idea when he was writing the book. In the end spice was the thing that was controlled and caused the other entities to fight, scheme, and bribe over.

Edit. It might also be that if the water was unleashed upon dune the spice would end? I've barely read past the original novel so maybe something deeper lol

Thanks for sharing that quote. I loved reading the dune series. Like many other novel series, that later books that take deep dives into characters are awesome.
