 House Harkonnen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With an order based on treachery, soldiers rise through the ranks through deceit, trickery and, if necessary, assassination.
Hailing from an industrial wasteland of a planet called Giedi Prime, the "oil-soaked, blood-soaked hellhole of the Imperium!", the House Harkonnen is much like its Baron: cold, ruthless, egomaniacal, but brilliant and lethally efficient.
Most of all, it's driven by a kanly (vendetta) against House Atreides.

 Re: Prequels are a Travesty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Dune fans may have their dreams fulfilled by having something new to read, but these novels aren't canon, meaning they aren't part of the author's original vision of his world.
Liberties are taken, for instance Duncan's upbringing: it's clearly stated that Duncan once had a sister, and it's clearly stated that he lived out many days on Giedi Prime fighting the Harkonnens.
Also, it is canon that Gurney Halleck was the member of a house minor that was enslaved on Giedi Prime, not some peasant family.

 Crescent Blues| Stephen Youll: The Opposite of Abstract
For the second one, which is House Harkonnen, I'm hoping that I'm going to get to dictate the scene, which is a painting depicting the baron in the Harkonnen planet, Giedi Prime.
It would be much more flash, because it is the sprawling city, the urban looking feel with the smoke stacks and very gothic looking statues and very movie-istic sense of wonderment like you'd see on a Star Wars movie, that type of thing.
I want to paint Giedi Prime too, maybe something like the baron in a hover barge going off to some kind of posh affair.

The third in my Dune series of conceptual sketches, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (10110-10193) was the Siridar-Baron of planet Giedi Prime during the reign of Corrino Emperor Shaddam IV He was the third son of Siridar-Baron Gunseng Harkonnen (10079-10130) and Baroness Muertana (later known as the "Black Window").

Or maybe he just wanted to confuse and annoy the viewers; after Giedi Prime, that’s as good an explanation as any.
And it cannot be denied that Lynch did take a few VERY large liberties with the plot which really turn this movie into something fundamentally different to the book.
It’s still worth watching, if only because it’s received a kind of cult status and because the world of Giedi Prime is so supremely fucked up any film lover should’ve seen it once, but the flaws are too significant for me to give it a good mark.

I was thinking about G-Prime specifically, when I remembered the homeworld of House Harkonnen in Dune was named Giedi Prime.
If you've ever read Dune, you'd know that the Harkonens are not the most likeable people (which is probably an understatement).
Yeah, I remember reading that another name for it was Ghetty Prime on the YTV website...some of the name origins are pretty obvious, such as Baudway, Wall Street and Beverly Hills being plays on real places in NY or LA (Lost Angles being a play on the city itself), and computer terms.
