Novel 1965 → Film 2021 · Direct adaptationDunePart One keeps 19 of the novel's 27 mapped units and stops at the Jamis duel, a chapter break roughly halfway through Book Two. It omits the Arrakeen banquet, Thufir Hawat's captivity arc, and Feyd-Rautha, recasts Liet-Kynes as a woman, and leaves the rest of the novel to Part Two.67composite · editorial
