It’s a fascinating strategy for HBO/WB to mimic Disney in this manner, except with R-rated ‘prestige tv’ to blue the lines with media franchises, but that looks cool.

World looks the same. Its 1000 year before Dune right? Same fashion. Same architecture. 40 years ago I was sitting in front of a 12 inch black and white TV in my room with tin foil on the antenna thinking this is the height of technology. Maybe that's how it is in the books but feels like a lack of imagination on the show runners part or maybe I'm just cranky today.
Our experience of rapidly advancing technology is likely the exception, not the rule. And I think the general idea is that Dune's empirium is ancient and decrepit, and tech is strictly regulated if not outright banned, so things wouldn't change much.

Yeah and Star Wars is a long time ago but they are flying at the speed of light so

the show takes place 10000 years before the birth of Paul Atreides
Sometimes I wanna drive around and find you
And act like it's a random thing
