Though his general description is maintained, Villeneuve reimagines this particular aspect to have the Baron levitate and hover over those around him - a more visual way of highlighting his power and influence. He's memorably introduced in the second chapter of the novel while literally remaining in the shadows, described as "grossly and immensely fat" and requiring the need of gravity-defying "portable suspensors harnessed to his flesh" to help keep the weight off his feet. In one of Herbert's more unfortunately dated tropes, the Baron's greed and hunger for power is reflected through his disturbing desire for young boys (which is wisely done away with in the film) as well as his ugly, bloated, and inhumanely overweight physicality. This replica of the treacherous warlords starship includes more than 1,000 LEGO pieces that faithfully capture the design and fun of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Though the face of their persecution is in the form of Rabban Harkonnen (Dave Bautista), his uncle Vladimir remains the true figurehead behind their suffering. LEGO Star Wars The Malevolence lets kids ages nine and up blast off to a galaxy far, far away with this model of General Grievouss flagship. By the time the events of "Dune" begin, the brutal Harkonnens have spent decades oppressing and exploiting the indigenous population of Arrakis for their wealth of spice.
