Summary

Directed byDenis Villeneuve , Dune 2picks up precisely where the first plastic film left . However , instead of take in several ambiguous chemical element like its predecessor , Dune 2presents a in full form story that ties up many narrative yarn from its source material before its credits start rolling and even establish room for a likely subsequence .

While continuing the story arcs of characters like Paul , Chani , Stilgar , Baron , and Lady Jessica , Dune : Part Twoalso introduces raw characters to the mixing , like Feyd - Rautha , Princess Irulan , and Margot Fenring . However , despite walking through several crucial storylines from the original Frank Herbert playscript , Dune 2seems to miss one authoritative aspect of Chani ’s character . A cheeseparing look atChani ’s level inDune 2also suggest that there could be a coherent reason why the film do not admit this one constituent of Chani ’s word-painting .

Dune 2 Does Not Reveal Who Chani’s Parents Are Or What Happened To Them

Dune 2 takes major creative liberties by not exploring Chani’s familial relationships

After primarily seem only inPaul ’s dreams and visions inDune , Chani becomes one of themain character inDune : Part Two . This grant the picture to research many aspects of her characterization , including her romantic relationship with Paul and skepticism towards theLisan al - Gaib vaticination . However , despite delving deep into several aspects of her personality , motivations , and beliefs , the photographic film does not disclose who her parent are and what happened to them . If her parents were not a part of the original Frank Herbert book , this development — or lack thereof — would not have been surprising .

However , unlike the moving picture , the source material explicitly mentions who her parent are . This build it hard not to wonder why the detail surrounding her inherited relations were flossed over in the movie . Whether it was the movie ’s limited runtime that prevent it from hold up deep into this aspect of her backstory or a deliberate choice from the filmmakers to bring more changes to her book ’s story , the omission of her parents leaves room for some challenging surmise and possibility surrounding who her parent could be in the film .

Although thin off Paul and Chani ’s child from Dune : Part Two is a major originative decision , it make horse sense because of how it gain the movie .

Chani Is Liet Kynes' Daughter In The Book, But Not 2021’s Dune

2021’s Dune does not confirm Kynes' relationship with Chani

In the original Frank Herbert book , Liet Kynes is portrayed as Chani ’s sire . However , since Kynes is a woman in Denis Villeneuve’sDune , she would have to be Chani ’s mother in the picture show . While this could be a aloof possibility , nothing in the two picture show suggests that Kynes was even relate to Chani . In the original books , Chani ’s theme are also in tandem with Kynes ' . Kynes and many others in the Fremen community wish to terraform Arrakis to make its living experimental condition more favorable .

If the moving-picture show had accurately present her relationship with her male parent , Chani would have been less defiant and more involved in the political dynamics of Arrakis .

The book ’s Chani is also well aware of the complex politics surrounding the terraforming task and even knows about her father ’s connections with the Emperor . Owing to this , she interpret how Paul would benefit from espouse Irulan . As seen inDune : Part Two , however , the flick serial ' version of Chani has a lot more agency , which does not coordinate too well with how she has been depicted in the Quran . If the movies had accurately portrayed her relationship with her father , Chani would have been less defiant and more knotty in the political dynamics of Arrakis .

Dune 2 Hints That Chani Could Be Jamis' Daughter

One Dune 2 scene makes Chani’s father’s identity even more confusing

There is a abbreviated scene inDune : Part Twoin which Paul is walking through the desert before his centre suddenly set on a Chani , who keep an eye on him while squatting at the top of the dunes . In this scene , Paul briefly assumes that Chani is Jamis , which seeminglyhints that Jamis might have been Chani ’s father . Paul err Chani for Jamis might have work the mystery behind the personal identity of Chani ’s founder , but , unfortunately , it does not sustain it . queerly , in an interview ( viaEW),Denis Villeneuve reassert that even though Kynes ' sex has been change , she is still Chani ’s female parent .

The two episode of theDunemovie series do not seem to explicitly mention this . And even if one assumes that it holds true in the two films , Chani ’s relationship with Kynes is not too relevant to the overarching storyline . With all the changesDune : Part Twobrings to Chani ’s word picture , her family relationship with Kynes will likely have small to no significance even in the future installments of the hot - action franchise .
