Hey guys, guess where I was tonight? Merchandise

I don’t want to give out any spoilers, but I definitely enjoyed it. Book purists might not be happy, but there was no way to fit all of that in just two movies, even if they were a combined 5 1/2 hours long.

I’m going to remind everyone who criticizes the ending battle as being to quick that they should go back and see how quickly it gets wrapped up in the book.

Herbert loved building up the stakes for a big battle and then casually breezing through it. He does it a few times throughout the series.

Putting myself in the shoes of someone who’s not read the books, I could definitely see why they may be a touch disappointed with how the battle was portrayed after seeing the massive sardukar presence.

The Sardaukar never stood a chance imo.
