Why The Baron Floats In Dune (How Much Does He Weigh?)
While watching Dune, it is hard not to notice that Baron Vladimir Harkonnen mainly gets around by floating — but why does Baron Harkonnen float? Portrayed by Stellan Skarsgård, Baron Harkonnen is the corrupt and brutal villain of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, who was at one time tasked by Dune's Padishah Emperor to rule over Arrakis. Like his book counterpart, this version of the Baron is the rotund ruler of House Harkonnen.
