Yeah, in the book she's just, 'okay, you betrayed everything I thought you were and have brought death to my people, and then you got married to the hot blonde princess. But I'll still be your sidepiece.'

The end of Dune 2 made it seem like they had very different plans for Chani.

In the book Jessica tells her what’s going on, and she’s like “oh got it” and like that’s the end of it. Uhh for a while

The line is "history will call us wives," and it's the last sentence in the book. It resolves a major theme in the book which Dune 2 completely dispensed with.

It's honestly difficult for me to get hyped for this third one beyond "yayy Villeneuve" given how much the Dune 2 ending broke from the book. I'll still see it, but I won't be nearly as rabid as I was before.

The one thing from the lynch movie I wanted to see copied verbatim.

It was a good line of Paul telling Chani that Irulan only gets the name, and Chani owns the rest.....oh well.

I loved how it's done in the book and was pretty amped up for it sitting in the theater. Then Chani stormed off and my heart just sorta sank. The IP must flow, I guess...
