I have been a fan of Dune Books since I was a child. Sardaukar has always been my favorite. So I made a video of them. Song: Danheim- Runar Edited by: Tamas Saros
The thing that makes Sardaukar, Sardaukar: the looks of pure contempt on their faces for anyone who isn't the Emperor, or a Sardaukar. They look at you like you are prey, or an inconveniance.
@Angela Bronckhurst Keep in mind they were forced to retreat but that doesn't mean they didn't massacre many time their own number in enemies. Given a Sietch can hold up to 10000 people they might have been massively outnumbered. They were ordered to capture hostages to hold against Muad'dib, which they did.
@Angela Bronckhurst Paul gave the fremen lots of advantages though: 1. a cause to unite the tribes as 1. 2. weapons like rockets. 3. Advanced tactical training he learned from Duncan+Gurney. 3. His prophetic powers, knowing where the enemy would be etc. 4. The weirding way, allowing them to kill while unarmed in the villages. Also, remember that both when Duncan was killed and when hawat was captured, involved Sardaukar defeating fremen, so it does happen. Sardaukar in part were victims of their own sense of invincibility, which also destroys the Fremen in Dune messiah and COD. In Children of Dune the Corrinos have retrained the Sardaukar remnant to once again rival the fremen, so it only took one generation.
@Angela Bronckhurst The desert environment forces everyone to be sharp on a level greater than the Sardaukar. Also the Sardaukar probably let their guard down because they thought getting hostages would be easy.
@Angela Bronckhurst Since Sardaukar Corps was heavily influenced by Janissaries/Ghulams/Strelets units, it's safe to assume that Sardaukar just grew soft and more political tool than real military threat over centuries of them being scary enough to be, uh, fleet-in-being, with reputation being so effective that what made said reputation slowly rotting away. As others pointed out, they became too self-indulgent and prideful, and overly individualistic (as opposed to collectivist Fremen who often used suicidal tactics for advantage). When they finally tasted bitter defeat, they got whipped in their fearsome shape relatively quickly.

Most sci fi armies have a full helmet to cover the faces of the soldiers to dehumanise them but I like how you can see the sardaukar’s scowl, it makes them more intimidating rather than unnerving
Since when Sardaukar become samurai using Japanese martial arts? Sardaukar is Harkonnen elite soldiers that resembles Russian heavy weapons division being heavily armored carrying miniguns or high caliber GPMG. Artreides represents America while Ordos indirectly Asians. Freemen are indirectly Afghans or Arabs natives of Dune launching jihad against foreign invaders. Dune is equivalent to middle east rich of natural resources oils but mostly wasteland desert. This new Dune movie is total failure, it failed lighting first being so dark that we can see our faces on screen most of the time followed by combat logic, they didn't bother to use long range projectiles or energy gun decimating shields before turning to melee.

Salusa secundus was a prison planet originally, very harsh, like Arrakis. The Corrino family then trained up the survivors into the Sardaukar. This is partly why the Emperor is so interested in Arrakis. He fears the combination of the Fremen and Atreides training could defeat him. He is correct.
Read again. Only the Fremen know about their own stenght. The only reason strangers get interest in Arrakis is the spice. Why the fuck would the emperor send the Atreides on Arrakis if he feared the combination of their army and Fremen?
@@proutchouet Leto was interested in the Fremen from the beginning. He had pride in his army and their training, but he knew his numbers were insufficient to oppose the Emperor. The emperor send the Atreides to Arrakis in a plot to destroy them. A plot that succeded at first as he striked them hard under the guise of Harkonnen intervention and way to early for them to make the Fremen part of their army. Which they might have never become as the culural difference between the Atreides army and the Fremen was big. This only fell apart, because Paul survived and achieved a form of future sight that both allowed him to unite the fremen under one banner and forge them into a weapon that would defeat eventually defeat the Sardaukar overwhelmingly.
@@pikadragon2783 Correct. Moreover, the Fremen were not just some wild men roaming around the deserts, they had vast numbers hidden in countless Sietches getting ready to attack the Harkonnens, when the moment was right. Then, with the Atreides support and leadership, they could free the universe from oppression.
@@cesaru3619 Let's not get too black and white on that story. The Fremen freed themselves from Harkonnen oppression and it is probably fair to say they liberated any world under Harkonnen control. To most other worlds they brougth mostly war, slaughter and a new oppression. And while they weren't JUST some wild men roaming the deserts... to understand them it is important to acknowledge that they are wild men roaming the deserts. A Sietch is better than a city, always part of a tribe not of a nation, all that. It became a huge problem in the second book.
I found it very epic when that one fremen heard the sardaukars coming (completely silent descent). It's not shown in the clip, but in that grotto were a bunch of fremen chilling. They heard them coming and that's why there is that sand ambush at 1:30.
Props to all of the extras playing Sardaukar soldiers. The facial expressions and body movements really convey that they are highly disciplined killing machines. You can really sense the bloodthirst of that bearded Saudakar at 0:17
@@therecanonlybeone7131 I mean, in a universe where everyone's got a personal shield on you really should be cautious of the people who fight without them.
I like the contrast of Arrakis having so little water the inhabitants kill for it and use their own waste and Salusa is the opposite how the water seems like a fact of life.
Salusa water is poisonous, thus people that live there already had stronger body compared to other places. And only handful of them succeed to being induced into saudakar
@@alphalightning00frost67 I think there are more comparable to 40k´s Tempestus scions, mixed with an overdose of Catachan jungle fighters, since how Along Kai mention, there planet is pretty much a poisonous hellhole. But on the other hand, i´m pretty sure many Space marine chapters would love to call Salusa Secundus one of there recruiting worlds
One of many ways the new Dune gets it right - the old Dune 2000 merely showed them as more competent versions of the Harkonnen. Here, you can clearly tell the Sardaukar are far above that. The attention to detail is just so much greater.
@@Synthonym I like that it isn’t specifically that the fremen are just completely stronger than the sardaukar, it’s more that the fremen take advantage of Arrakis in their combat, like hiding in the sand and fighting without shields to avoid the sandworm, they’re much better suited than the sardaukar who don’t know much about fremen combat or numbers
The only problem I have with Villeneuve's Dune was how minimalist it was with it's design, making it look like any other modern sci fi. When I envision the characters of Dune, I see a riot of color and ornate uniforms. The Sardaukar I particularly like to envision looking like the Prussian Totenkopf hussars.
Isn't minimalism (which ain't Villeneuve's design choice, but brutalism is, anyway) the _opposite_ of literally every sci-fi movie/video game nowadays? There's a reason why people are so critical of over-design, that being how literally every sci-fi story has to be a riot of machinery, extravagant colors and a shit ton of details on everything. Go watch Jupiter Descending, Valerian, Star Trek, hell even Thor Ragnarok & Guardians of the Galaxy to find out what I'm talking about. Modern sci-fi is anything but minimalist lol
"over design" I guess that is an euphemism for "armor porn" or "ship porn" .? Terms given to titles who prefer spectacle to gameplay / content. @@yaruyaru

This must have been an extremely harsh, sad life to live....that is if you mad it through the training to become a Sardaukar soldier. Those that didn't have what it takes become a sacrifice, and their blood would anoint those that did succeed.
@@ericwilliams538 dont know compared to whom. I just remember a scene in the book where hawat explains to the baron how the sardaukar are okay with the conditions of salusa secundus because they got a luxurious life later as a reward.
@@philip8498 I'll have to take your word for it. I haven't read the books. I was just assuming from only what I've seen in the movie(s). Then seeing those who were sacrificed, and their blood anointing the Sardaukar that made it through the training.
Sardaukar comes from a prison planet with harsh environement, the whole galaxy dumps their worst criminals on it. Those who stay alive long enough are offered to become sardaukars and fight for the emperor, they are also heavily endoctrinated. A squad of 10 sardaukars is considered to be equal to 100ish other soldiers. They are one of the three pillars of the power of the emperor. And for the record, even Sardaukars shit themselves when they fight fremen. In the books they had to run from fremen who stayed in the shelters, the children and the eldery. And they barely escaped.
This is an incredible music and mantra. I do not understand the meaning of it as listen to it now but every sound vibrates in my mind as an eternal mantra against evil. Unbelieveable . I found it tonight when I needed the most. The new dune films achived achieved something that nothing could before. 👌👌👍👍
Thanks. I read it every year since I was a child. I also wrote in the description below the video. The Sardaukars were my favorites in the books. that’s why i made this video about them.
Loved the vid but adored the music beats all. Thanks for sharing. Danheim is awesome. Very fitting and although not 100% slav, one get that spirit from this song.
When I saw those Sardaukar descending like that, I knew it was over. How unbelievably terrifying. No one goes up against the Sardaukar and lives. NO ONE.
Denis certainly got this right, the Sardukar were fearsome, but past their peak; the Atreides were their match in battle and better led, only a traitor could turn the tide of this battle, and did.
This opinion never made any sense to me, have the Atreides troops ever faced the Sardaukar in open battle before Arrakis? I understand that the Sardaukar would have trouble with the Fremen, since they're constantly in conflict with anyone that controls the world, and the fact that you can't use shields while on sand on Arrakis, a world that's apparently 90% sand. But the Atreides have like nothing beyond good leadership and training going for them, doesn't feel like that should be enough to rival the Emperor's finest.
Years ago I was listening to this on something. My daughter heard it. She was around four. I told her it was the lullaby of woe. It was something that many monsters sang it to their young. They was afraid of the Witcher. She said oh monsters scared of him. I laughed and said yes. The Witcher protects little kids like you. That night she ask me to sing the lullaby of woe. So I did. It’s been years now. She is older now. I still sing it to her every night.
In the bit where the sardaukar are being anointed that idea originally came from the british empire in something like a forlorn hope where they would mark soldiers after giving them a tot of whiskey and a puff on a cigar then they would mark them it basically meant those soldiers would indeed die in combat
They are 100% Janissary/Ghulam inspired, maybe with a bit of Strelets. Professional, lifelong warriors, often drafted from young slaves, slowly becoming prisoners of their own reputation.
these are the Sardaukar in decline, they have grown soft due to massive riches and comfort provided by the Emperor these are a shadow of the old Sardaukar
I did like them, certainly a better depiction than the flowery ones in the dune mini-series, but the lack of guns, and they forgot all about why people don't use body shields and/or laser weapons on dune, having a angry train of teeth chase you would be scary but the feedback effect of a laser weapon on shields was always amusing to think about. They ended up bringing low tech stuff like artillery and projectile weapons, leit was also a bit of a shock, never knew a dad could change so much...
For me the Sardaukar were the most interesting part of the first book. All murderers and high criminals, they’re given a chance to be born again in the emperors grace. I liked how in the movie, their leader was drenched in the same effect only reserved for those using voice powers up to that point…they didn’t cause Paul nearly enough trouble in the books.
Sardaukar are based on the Ottoman Janissaries, which were European slaves soldiers from rural parts of the Empire > trained from childhood and only loyal to the Sultan.
Problem with action movies is that they often fail to communicate the ability and skill of an individual fighter and religate them to cannon fodder, best action scenes is where all participants put up a fight where a fight can go either way, else your relegated to Return of the King gondorian soldiers in skill where theyre on screen to die. Hopefully, theyre shown to be tough still, but the point is that the freeman are no slouches to fighting, theyre on par or better/worse than sarduaker soldiers with a point of tolerance either way, 6 freeman took out like 20 sardauker alone in part 1 before dying, what could thousands of them be like....
@@cesaru3619 Haha, do you realise that Fremen won over Sardakaurs mainly because of their homeland adventage?? They were experts for fighting in desert.
@Miro Reverby You probably dont know how those visions work, do you? They are only a possibility. There are many possibilites how future may develop. And each time Paul sees only 1 possibility (that might not happen). For example the future where that black fremen became his friend and teacher. And how did it end? Paul had to fight him to death and kill him instead. No friendship, no teaching. Reality was different from vision.
@Miro Reverby Harkonnens got only 3 "platoons" of Sardaukars from Emperor. It is not big number. So mostly Harkonnen's men will get killed in part 2, where they assault Harkonnen's base.

It explains it pretty clearly in the movie although its in small and periodic dialogue so I don’t blame you for missing it, I had to re-watch it to fully understand everything. But shields don’t allow fast moving objects to pass through them, hence the entire reason for shields in the first place (when lasguns hit shield they also cause a nuclear explosion but thats not very important). Therefore it renders fast moving projectiles (pretty much everything the modern military uses) utterly useless
for those asking for the 4k version, the video was removed and the channel was suspended due to copyright. ( Next Gen Movies ). This shows that movie companies care is money.
When they fought the Freman, the women threw their babies unto the swords of the Sardaukar so that their blades would be too burdened to defend from the killing stroke. The Freman said of the Dread Imperial Troops: they fight pretty good.
I actually really hated that line from the Fremen. "Yeah we jumped em, stabbed em in the back, and they still took a few of us with em. Fun fight." As to fighting in the Sieches, I get the whole point was that the Fremen basically sacrificed themselves so that they could bring down a Sardaukar, but it feels really bad for them to get all this epic hype and no good pay off.
Fuck the Fremen. Bunch of Mary Sue's, one and all....that and Paul is the biggest Mary Sue of them all..."My Name is a Killing Word" my ass. The only thing they didn't add to make him unbeatable is Wolverines healing factor. I would have respected the book, and movie, more if they wouldn't have stacked the deck in his favor so hard. I hate Mary Sue's
Btw they were already brutallised by the herkonnens for 80 years and the fremen fighter couldn't drive them away. It's just a story written and now being made a movie.
I find it interesting how culture and environment shaped the two main fighting forces of Dune. On Arrakis a lack of water means death, on Selusa Secundus the rain is poisonous and you can die from the shock of the cold. Both are harsh in their own ways, but Arrakis with us true scarcity of life is what gives it the edge. Selusa Secundus only favors the strong, while Arrakis favors none, and without discipline even the strong die from the lack of water. The Sardaukar didn’t have to be as disciplined as the Fremen to survive, just strong and bloodthirsty, but discipline is what prevents unnecessary mistakes and overconfidence. Hard to be overconfident as a fighter when you have to worry about the integrity of your still suit mid fight, or the presence of a worm or storm, and the glaring heat. Also the environment makes for perfect death commandos, not only can they best you in direct combat, they are silent hunters, as cunning as any predator on Earth and just as thirsty for the water in your blood. The Sardaukar haven’t had to survive against the sand, which makes them weak in that regard. The rain on Selusa Secundus means you don’t have to match the sounds of the desert as you do in Arrakis, the rain will give cover the sound of your steps. And they never tried learning to move through the sand, relying on thopters as transport. The skill of a fighter can be displayed in perfect conditions, but is truly tested in conditions that are unfavorable. All of Arrakis is unfavorable, but the Fremen have turned the cruel planet into their friend. The Sardaukar weren’t aware they could be challenged, while the Fremen grew excited at the thought of powerful foes. This and their religious fervor means they would not surrender even in the face of death On Arrakis a lack of water means death, on Selusa Secundus the rain is poisonous and you can die from the shock of the cold.

To be honest I found the concept of the Sardauker alsways more fascinating than the Fremen - especially because with them I had always to control my disbelive that a bunch of cave-dwellers could beat men who were trained for battle permanently. I mean the Fremen are certainly tough, but to be honest - realisticly seen they should be much more focused on survival than hand-to-hand...
Thats Herbert's obsession with the noble savage idea and his personal theory that the harshest environments make the best fighters. Its like expecting inuits to be the best fighters in the world because they live in the toughest environment. Granted, the fremens were also a warrior culture and warred with each others quitw often BUT The sardaukars are basically the product of constant war training and are the survivor of an extremely harsh selection where not even 1 in 10 made it alive, they could sustain it because they constantly got fresh recruits from off world and didnt meed to form a self sustaining society since everything including their weapons and armor were provided by the emperor. On the other hand the fremens couldnt afford to fight 24/7 they actually needed smiths, engineers etc
I really wish they had more badass moments in the movie. It's sad how badly they get thrashed by the fremen in the story and movie. But I guess the fremen come from an even more inhospitable planet than the Sadukar, so ... they kinda deserve the win
i love this film only for GAME art reference from SEGA =))), its super duper cool.! Artrides armor, Sardaukars armor. All are stylish reallistic, and looks like a real things with pourpose. Look at this fck helmet??? 0:29 its a techporn!!!
00:52 ... Why were the Atreides Army considered one of the best armies in the Imperium? They were wiped out in 10 seconds in the fight with the Sardaukars...I haven't read the books, hope I spelled that right.
There is a very strong theme in the books of the environment making the man. Atreides worked hard but lived on a nice planet. The sardaukars were intentionally raised on a hellish planet. The fremen even more so.
@@makerstudios5456 ... and in the past, Fremen used to live on Salusa Secundus for a while (home planet of the Sardaukar). You can say that Fremen and Sardukar are the same blood, related or at least mixed. It is interesting to consider which planet is harsher, Salusa Secundus or Arrakis. The lore says that Sardaukar started to enjoy luxuries and good things in life, became pampered and grew relatively soft.
inspired by samurai and viking , bred to be the greatest warriors . suffering and pain is bliss to them . all who stand against them fall . they are not soldiers nor mercinairy in any way , they are kamikazi assasin . the entire galaxy fears them . whatever war or battle or conflict is happening anywhere , it stops when sardaukar arrive , efficient focused and brutal to the extreme . fremen ~ yeh , these guys are good fighters . some of them are so bad ass we kinda repect them . heads up peeps , you might need your maula pistol .
Darth Vader is awesome, also the Fremen aren't good either, that's kind of the point of the series. Replacing one bloodthirsty army and empire with another. They also look cool.
The Fremen are just. Noone is truly good. And Darth Vader loses every fight he is in. He let's QGJ die to Maul, get's corrupted, gets his behind handed to him by Obi-Wan, get's beaten by Luke. Get's cheated by Dr Aphra and non-cannonically would not be able to beat Starkiller. And noone who ever took orders from others is really awesome. Make your own way. Always.
You can like the bad guys in fictional works though? It is not like they commited real crimes against real humans. Sauron is one hell of a terrifing guy. He collapsed an entire human empire through subversion alone. He tricked all living races into taking the Rings of Power through which he almost enslaved them. While his old boss was a god that simply used corruption and brute force, he made up for his lack of power through careful planning and not being to low for any kind of trickery. In the movie we mostly see him as a leader of armies but that was only after he weakened his opponents enough that his victory should have been overwhelming. And it would have been were it not for the smallest of people ready to carry the heaviest burden. Darth Vader is menance. He is completly unstoppable in almost every scene he is in. Not even Luke "the chosen one" beat him and in the end he was the one to undoe his own corruption and sacrifice himself to kill the Imperator.
I mean by that logic it's difficult to like the Fremen since they commit some 60 billion counts of trolling during Paul's Jihad. Also villains looking and seeming cooler is a common trope in fiction

Salusa secundus was a prison planet originally, very harsh, like Arrakis. The Corrino family then trained up the survivors into the Sardaukar. This is partly why the Emperor is so interested in Arrakis. He fears the combination of the Fremen and Atreides training could defeat him. He is correct.
Read again. Only the Fremen know about their own stenght. The only reason strangers get interest in Arrakis is the spice. Why the fuck would the emperor send the Atreides on Arrakis if he feared the combination of their army and Fremen?
@@proutchouet Leto was interested in the Fremen from the beginning. He had pride in his army and their training, but he knew his numbers were insufficient to oppose the Emperor.
The emperor send the Atreides to Arrakis in a plot to destroy them. A plot that succeded at first as he striked them hard under the guise of Harkonnen intervention and way to early for them to make the Fremen part of their army. Which they might have never become as the culural difference between the Atreides army and the Fremen was big.
This only fell apart, because Paul survived and achieved a form of future sight that both allowed him to unite the fremen under one banner and forge them into a weapon that would defeat eventually defeat the Sardaukar overwhelmingly.
Sardaukar are like the criminal kadirov Chechens of putin, Fremen are like the fierce freedom loving Ukrainians.
@@pikadragon2783 Correct. Moreover, the Fremen were not just some wild men roaming around the deserts, they had vast numbers hidden in countless Sietches getting ready to attack the Harkonnens, when the moment was right. Then, with the Atreides support and leadership, they could free the universe from oppression.
@@cesaru3619 Let's not get too black and white on that story. The Fremen freed themselves from Harkonnen oppression and it is probably fair to say they liberated any world under Harkonnen control. To most other worlds they brougth mostly war, slaughter and a new oppression.
And while they weren't JUST some wild men roaming the deserts... to understand them it is important to acknowledge that they are wild men roaming the deserts. A Sietch is better than a city, always part of a tribe not of a nation, all that. It became a huge problem in the second book.
We are the Emperors blades, we fuck shit up, Yea boi, we the total lads, innit.
I found it very epic when that one fremen heard the sardaukars coming (completely silent descent). It's not shown in the clip, but in that grotto were a bunch of fremen chilling. They heard them coming and that's why there is that sand ambush at 1:30.
I think he saw the shadow or something, but yeah, they know they desert better than anyone.
The old firemen noticed them
I agree. The suspensor belts made that scene much more… suspenseful.
The way they just walk with the sword outstretched is such a badass 'eff-u' stance, especially with glowering through those transparent face-plates.
Props to all of the extras playing Sardaukar soldiers. The facial expressions and body movements really convey that they are highly disciplined killing machines. You can really sense the bloodthirst of that bearded Saudakar at 0:17
Until they lose to the fremen
The firemen are also highly skilled and disciplined fighters tho so it doesn’t really take away from his comment does it? Think
@@therecanonlybeone7131 you clearly didn’t pay attention otherwise you wouldn’t have commented such nonsense.
@@therecanonlybeone7131 I mean, in a universe where everyone's got a personal shield on you really should be cautious of the people who fight without them.
@@generalnawaki even moreso, the shields barely work in the deserts and on the open sand, they attract worms.
I like the contrast of Arrakis having so little water the inhabitants kill for it and use their own waste and Salusa is the opposite how the water seems like a fact of life.
Selusa was nuked into deathworld status, so that water is hella poisonous
Salusa water is poisonous, thus people that live there already had stronger body compared to other places. And only handful of them succeed to being induced into saudakar
@@TheAchilles26 that’s badass they can survive that

"They're almost the equivalent of the space marines of 40k"

One of many ways the new Dune gets it right - the old Dune 2000 merely showed them as more competent versions of the Harkonnen. Here, you can clearly tell the Sardaukar are far above that. The attention to detail is just so much greater.
Villeneuve has accomplished where Lynch had failed: Inducing fear for the Sardaukar into the mind of the viewer.
Until the fremen killed them
@@therecanonlybeone7131 Aye but the Fremen are on another level
@@Synthonym I like that it isn’t specifically that the fremen are just completely stronger than the sardaukar, it’s more that the fremen take advantage of Arrakis in their combat, like hiding in the sand and fighting without shields to avoid the sandworm, they’re much better suited than the sardaukar who don’t know much about fremen combat or numbers
@@therecanonlybeone7131 that only shows the ferocity of the Fremen, who were still cut down to the man by the Sarduakar on an open field.
Well disciplined sword wielding fanatics that paint themselves with blood on rainy days. Nothing to fear here, move along.
The only problem I have with Villeneuve's Dune was how minimalist it was with it's design, making it look like any other modern sci fi. When I envision the characters of Dune, I see a riot of color and ornate uniforms. The Sardaukar I particularly like to envision looking like the Prussian Totenkopf hussars.
Isn't minimalism (which ain't Villeneuve's design choice, but brutalism is, anyway) the _opposite_ of literally every sci-fi movie/video game nowadays? There's a reason why people are so critical of over-design, that being how literally every sci-fi story has to be a riot of machinery, extravagant colors and a shit ton of details on everything. Go watch Jupiter Descending, Valerian, Star Trek, hell even Thor Ragnarok & Guardians of the Galaxy to find out what I'm talking about. Modern sci-fi is anything but minimalist lol
"over design" I guess that is an euphemism for "armor porn" or "ship porn" .?

This must have been an extremely harsh, sad life to live....that is if you mad it through the training to become a Sardaukar soldier.
Those that didn't have what it takes become a sacrifice, and their blood would anoint those that did succeed.
apparently when they werent fighting wars for the emperor, the saradukar had quite the luxurious lifestyle, at least in the book.
@@philip8498 compared too???....just asking.
@@ericwilliams538 dont know compared to whom. I just remember a scene in the book where hawat explains to the baron how the sardaukar are okay with the conditions of salusa secundus because they got a luxurious life later as a reward.
@@philip8498 I'll have to take your word for it. I haven't read the books. I was just assuming from only what I've seen in the movie(s). Then seeing those who were sacrificed, and their blood anointing the Sardaukar that made it through the training.
Sardaukar comes from a prison planet with harsh environement, the whole galaxy dumps their worst criminals on it. Those who stay alive long enough are offered to become sardaukars and fight for the emperor, they are also heavily endoctrinated. A squad of 10 sardaukars is considered to be equal to 100ish other soldiers. They are one of the three pillars of the power of the emperor.
And for the record, even Sardaukars shit themselves when they fight fremen.
In the books they had to run from fremen who stayed in the shelters, the children and the eldery. And they barely escaped.
This is an incredible music and mantra. I do not understand the meaning of it as listen to it now but every sound vibrates in my mind as an eternal mantra against evil. Unbelieveable . I found it tonight when I needed the most. The new dune films achived achieved something that nothing could before. 👌👌👍👍

Great video, nice soundtrack as well. Would recommend reading the book.
Thanks. I read it every year since I was a child. I also wrote in the description below the video. The Sardaukars were my favorites in the books. that’s why i made this video about them.
Mongolian throat chanting. Recommend Hu Wolf Totem
Loved the vid but adored the music beats all. Thanks for sharing. Danheim is awesome. Very fitting and although not 100% slav, one get that spirit from this song.
When I saw those Sardaukar descending like that, I knew it was over. How unbelievably terrifying. No one goes up against the Sardaukar and lives. NO ONE.
I got some bad news for you then in the next movie.... lol
Obviously you didn’t read the book.
bro youre in the comments section of every single dune clip with the sardaukar in it saying the exact same thing, are you alright?
Yeah, so about that…
Until the fremen made them there bitches
Denis certainly got this right, the Sardukar were fearsome, but past their peak; the Atreides were their match in battle and better led, only a traitor could turn the tide of this battle, and did.
This opinion never made any sense to me, have the Atreides troops ever faced the Sardaukar in open battle before Arrakis?
I understand that the Sardaukar would have trouble with the Fremen, since they're constantly in conflict with anyone that controls the world, and the fact that you can't use shields while on sand on Arrakis, a world that's apparently 90% sand.
But the Atreides have like nothing beyond good leadership and training going for them, doesn't feel like that should be enough to rival the Emperor's finest.
The way the Sardaukar drop in reminds me of the scene in Dr. No.
Long live the Golden Throne. No retreat. Only Death.
Go outside
Fitting, the most fierce warriors of Dune are from complete opposite home worlds
I like that they are always expected to have their blade drawn and ready so there is no need for a sheath

Pre workout why?? You work out in the gym !!
Years ago I was listening to this on something. My daughter heard it. She was around four. I told her it was the lullaby of woe. It was something that many monsters sang it to their young. They was afraid of the Witcher. She said oh monsters scared of him. I laughed and said yes. The Witcher protects little kids like you. That night she ask me to sing the lullaby of woe. So I did. It’s been years now. She is older now. I still sing it to her every night.
In the bit where the sardaukar are being anointed that idea originally came from the british empire in something like a forlorn hope where they would mark soldiers after giving them a tot of whiskey and a puff on a cigar then they would mark them it basically meant those soldiers would indeed die in combat
They are 100% Janissary/Ghulam inspired, maybe with a bit of Strelets. Professional, lifelong warriors, often drafted from young slaves, slowly becoming prisoners of their own reputation.
Their music reminds me of The Hu Wolf Totem.
There's a tribal throat singing vibe to when the scene where they ready for battle.
I got that Tuvan throat singing vibe too.
these are the Sardaukar in decline, they have grown soft due to massive riches and comfort provided by the Emperor
these are a shadow of the old Sardaukar
Anyone who played and remember Dune 2. Sardaukars have PINK uniforms!!:D
I did like them, certainly a better depiction than the flowery ones in the dune mini-series, but the lack of guns, and they forgot all about why people don't use body shields and/or laser weapons on dune, having a angry train of teeth chase you would be scary but the feedback effect of a laser weapon on shields was always amusing to think about.
They ended up bringing low tech stuff like artillery and projectile weapons, leit was also a bit of a shock, never knew a dad could change so much...
They used laserweapons on the flyer and later on. Would have been funny if they hit it, destroying the whole base.
@@thomask5434 trust me if they did use it their energy forceshield would go booom
the flowery look is based on the Landsknecht mercenaries read a bit about them then tell me if you would find them none threatening
For me the Sardaukar were the most interesting part of the first book. All murderers and high criminals, they’re given a chance to be born again in the emperors grace.
I liked how in the movie, their leader was drenched in the same effect only reserved for those using voice powers up to that point…they didn’t cause Paul nearly enough trouble in the books.
Sardaukar are based on the Ottoman Janissaries, which were European slaves soldiers from rural parts of the Empire > trained from childhood and only loyal to the Sultan.
+German SS mentality
What a Masterpiece.
Awesome!!

Problem with action movies is that they often fail to communicate the ability and skill of an individual fighter and religate them to cannon fodder, best action scenes is where all participants put up a fight where a fight can go either way, else your relegated to Return of the King gondorian soldiers in skill where theyre on screen to die. Hopefully, theyre shown to be tough still, but the point is that the freeman are no slouches to fighting, theyre on par or better/worse than sarduaker soldiers with a point of tolerance either way, 6 freeman took out like 20 sardauker alone in part 1 before dying, what could thousands of them be like....

@@cesaru3619 Haha, do you realise that Fremen won over Sardakaurs mainly because of their homeland adventage?? They were experts for fighting in desert.
@Miro Reverby You probably dont know how those visions work, do you?
They are only a possibility. There are many possibilites how future may develop. And each time Paul sees only 1 possibility (that might not happen).
For example the future where that black fremen became his friend and teacher. And how did it end? Paul had to fight him to death and kill him instead. No friendship, no teaching. Reality was different from vision.
@Miro Reverby Harkonnens got only 3 "platoons" of Sardaukars from Emperor. It is not big number. So mostly Harkonnen's men will get killed in part 2, where they assault Harkonnen's base.
Notice the lack of sheaths, that is deliberate.

It explains it pretty clearly in the movie although its in small and periodic dialogue so I don’t blame you for missing it, I had to re-watch it to fully understand everything.
But shields don’t allow fast moving objects to pass through them, hence the entire reason for shields in the first place (when lasguns hit shield they also cause a nuclear explosion but thats not very important). Therefore it renders fast moving projectiles (pretty much everything the modern military uses) utterly useless
I hope you do one for the Fremen too, both groups of the galaxy's best fighters.
for those asking for the 4k version, the video was removed and the channel was suspended due to copyright. ( Next Gen Movies ). This shows that movie companies care is money.
TEN LEGIONS OF SARDAUKAR!
When they fought the Freman, the women threw their babies unto the swords of the Sardaukar so that their blades would be too burdened to defend from the killing stroke. The Freman said of the Dread Imperial Troops: they fight pretty good.
I actually really hated that line from the Fremen. "Yeah we jumped em, stabbed em in the back, and they still took a few of us with em. Fun fight." As to fighting in the Sieches, I get the whole point was that the Fremen basically sacrificed themselves so that they could bring down a Sardaukar, but it feels really bad for them to get all this epic hype and no good pay off.
It’s okay, you’re all going to see how the Fremen deal with Shaddams dogs. Blessed be the Maker and his passing.
Fuck the Fremen. Bunch of Mary Sue's, one and all....that and Paul is the biggest Mary Sue of them all..."My Name is a Killing Word" my ass. The only thing they didn't add to make him unbeatable is Wolverines healing factor. I would have respected the book, and movie, more if they wouldn't have stacked the deck in his favor so hard. I hate Mary Sue's
Btw they were already brutallised by the herkonnens for 80 years and the fremen fighter couldn't drive them away. It's just a story written and now being made a movie.
And then the Fremen become Paul's attack dogs, brutalizing the Known Universe, just as they were brutalized
@@weldonwin , yes kind of like politics today.
sure i love too dune and sardaukar thx for your video
I find it interesting how culture and environment shaped the two main fighting forces of Dune.
On Arrakis a lack of water means death, on Selusa Secundus the rain is poisonous and you can die from the shock of the cold. Both are harsh in their own ways, but Arrakis with us true scarcity of life is what gives it the edge. Selusa Secundus only favors the strong, while Arrakis favors none, and without discipline even the strong die from the lack of water. The Sardaukar didn’t have to be as disciplined as the Fremen to survive, just strong and bloodthirsty, but discipline is what prevents unnecessary mistakes and overconfidence. Hard to be overconfident as a fighter when you have to worry about the integrity of your still suit mid fight, or the presence of a worm or storm, and the glaring heat.
Also the environment makes for perfect death commandos, not only can they best you in direct combat, they are silent hunters, as cunning as any predator on Earth and just as thirsty for the water in your blood. The Sardaukar haven’t had to survive against the sand, which makes them weak in that regard. The rain on Selusa Secundus means you don’t have to match the sounds of the desert as you do in Arrakis, the rain will give cover the sound of your steps. And they never tried learning to move through the sand, relying on thopters as transport. The skill of a fighter can be displayed in perfect conditions, but is truly tested in conditions that are unfavorable. All of Arrakis is unfavorable, but the Fremen have turned the cruel planet into their friend. The Sardaukar weren’t aware they could be challenged, while the Fremen grew excited at the thought of powerful foes. This and their religious fervor means they would not surrender even in the face of death

I would join just for the mind-bending chants, and combat armor. So much sexier and lighter then the one master-chief wears.
To be honest I found the concept of the Sardauker alsways more fascinating than the Fremen - especially because with them I had always to control my disbelive that a bunch of cave-dwellers could beat men who were trained for battle permanently. I mean the Fremen are certainly tough, but to be honest - realisticly seen they should be much more focused on survival than hand-to-hand...
Thats Herbert's obsession with the noble savage idea and his personal theory that the harshest environments make the best fighters.
Its like expecting inuits to be the best fighters in the world because they live in the toughest environment.
Granted, the fremens were also a warrior culture and warred with each others quitw often
BUT
The sardaukars are basically the product of constant war training and are the survivor of an extremely harsh selection where not even 1 in 10 made it alive, they could sustain it because they constantly got fresh recruits from off world and didnt meed to form a self sustaining society since everything including their weapons and armor were provided by the emperor.
On the other hand the fremens couldnt afford to fight 24/7 they actually needed smiths, engineers etc
I really wish they had more badass moments in the movie. It's sad how badly they get thrashed by the fremen in the story and movie.
But I guess the fremen come from an even more inhospitable planet than the Sadukar, so ... they kinda deserve the win
That's exactly it. And if arrakis becomes a paradise, the Fremen will lose their harsh culture and ruthless edge, thus destroy themselves.

00:52 ... Why were the Atreides Army considered one of the best armies in the Imperium? They were wiped out in 10 seconds in the fight with the Sardaukars...I haven't read the books, hope I spelled that right.
They were among the best, but Sardukar are far better than them. The Sardukar are only rivaled by the Fremen.
There is a very strong theme in the books of the environment making the man. Atreides worked hard but lived on a nice planet. The sardaukars were intentionally raised on a hellish planet. The fremen even more so.
The Atreides were the best of the House armies. The Imperial force was, by design and necessity, a whole different class.
@@makerstudios5456 ... and in the past, Fremen used to live on Salusa Secundus for a while (home planet of the Sardaukar). You can say that Fremen and Sardukar are the same blood, related or at least mixed. It is interesting to consider which planet is harsher, Salusa Secundus or Arrakis. The lore says that Sardaukar started to enjoy luxuries and good things in life, became pampered and grew relatively soft.
because they are far outnumbrd and thwy were sorrounded, but even in the books sardaukar are slightly more powerfull than Atredies soldiers

@@Darkpara1 , somewhat better. Not a lot better, until they were trained by Paul and his mother.
Cool work 👍👍🤩🤩 really close to the sardaukar's spirit yeah!! Become warrior !!
Why would anyone like the Sardaukar? That's like favoring Darth Vader or the Lannisters.
Good old Sauron. What a guy!
Darth Vader is awesome, also the Fremen aren't good either, that's kind of the point of the series. Replacing one bloodthirsty army and empire with another.
They also look cool.
The Fremen are just.
Noone is truly good.
And Darth Vader loses every fight he is in. He let's QGJ die to Maul, get's corrupted, gets his behind handed to him by Obi-Wan, get's beaten by Luke. Get's cheated by Dr Aphra and non-cannonically would not be able to beat Starkiller.
And noone who ever took orders from others is really awesome. Make your own way. Always.
There are no good guys in the Dune universe, just varying flavors of bad.
You can like the bad guys in fictional works though? It is not like they commited real crimes against real humans.
Sauron is one hell of a terrifing guy. He collapsed an entire human empire through subversion alone. He tricked all living races into taking the Rings of Power through which he almost enslaved them. While his old boss was a god that simply used corruption and brute force, he made up for his lack of power through careful planning and not being to low for any kind of trickery. In the movie we mostly see him as a leader of armies but that was only after he weakened his opponents enough that his victory should have been overwhelming. And it would have been were it not for the smallest of people ready to carry the heaviest burden.
Darth Vader is menance. He is completly unstoppable in almost every scene he is in. Not even Luke "the chosen one" beat him and in the end he was the one to undoe his own corruption and sacrifice himself to kill the Imperator.
I mean by that logic it's difficult to like the Fremen since they commit some 60 billion counts of trolling during Paul's Jihad.
Also villains looking and seeming cooler is a common trope in fiction
I enjoy listening to this cut of the song, some times slowed down a touch
We are Sardaukar, the Emperor's blades !!!
4:58 he does not wear eye protections before, and suddenly he does, but it is ununderstandable how he could put them while running to the worm with the anchors in both hands…
Fantastic! Sardaukars are cool than Fremens, but relaxed after old victories.

@@VictorMikhailovKnudsen ещё во второй, когда барон с графом, кажется, Ферроном это обсуждали. Именно граф указал, на потери среди сардаукаров по сравнению с фрименами. Причем не по итогам устранения Атрейдесов, а уже при правлении там Робана года два минимум.
И после, когда Пол встречает Гурни Халлека, бой с группой сардаукаров (на стороне которых была внезапность, кстати), имел именно такое соотношение, один к двум-трем.
Соотношение не менялось, так что груз побед тут ни при чём, да и сардаукары всё равно были сильнее воинов всех остальных домов (в большинстве своём).
@@user-bu6kw1zq6g, ну может быть я и преувеличиваю, только помнится мне, что когда фримены "прописали им ижицу", то они (уже при воцарении Пола) подтянули свои способности, тем более, что вошли основной частью в джихадиские войска...характерно отношение Стилгара и (уже не помню какого) башара сардаукаров... хотя надо перечитать книжки...
@@user-bu6kw1zq6g Because they would ambush them. That's like going "It took three US Marines to kill a single Vietcong" after said Vietcong detonated a car bomb. Put em in a actual fight and the Sardies win.
The Sardaukar; the original Space Marines!
dont forget the fedaykin
Honestly even the regular Fremen fighters are more than a match for the Sardaukar. The Fedaykin are in a league of their own (during the Maud'dib era at least).
