      Depends on how detailed and respectful they wanted to be of the original material. Lawerence of Arab in Space where a young lord abuses a artificial prophecy to gain control of a planet, unleashing universal jihad where billions die isn’t far off.

      It does leave out some of the interesting bits, like when one of his ancestors turns into a worm, marries his sister and gets another man to fuck her, since he’s no longer able to do so.

        And then resurrects his dad’s best friend over and over until the guy kills him.

        The books do get… weird.
