Summary
While Javier Bardem ’s Stilgar is a highly memorable character inDune : Part Two , he loses something all important in the Denis Villeneuve filmsbecause of how they are break open up . adapt from Frank Herbert ’s 1965 novel of the same name , theDunemovies follow Paul Atreides as he slow becomes a messiah figure for the Fremen of Arrakis . Both of Villeneuve ’s picture have been critically praise , withDune : Part Tworeviewsin particular showing far-flung acclamation .
One ofPart Two ’s most memorable characters is Stilgar , a Fremen leader who put all his corporate trust into the notion that Paul is the prophetic Lisan al Gaib . His faith inPaul ’s dreams and visionsis part of his hope for Arrakis to return to being a major planet fill up with H2O and greenery .

Dune Being Two-Parts Means Losing Stilgar’s Contrast To Paul’s Other Mentors
Stilgar’s mentorship can’t be compared to other figures in Paul’s life.
Stilgar ’s fast feeling in Paul as the Lisan al Gaib is a fundamental part of his character , showing how he ’s push for the untested Atreides son to be a warrior for the Fremen . However , seeinghis viewpoint as the only focal lens forDune : Part Twois amassive modification from theDunebook . Since Herbert ’s novel is just one entrance , it ’s able to succinctly contrast Stilgar ’s mentorship with that of characters like Duncan Idaho and Gurney Halleck . As for Villeneuve ’s films , their split makes the demarcation less marked than the novel .
One contrast lose from the movie is how Stilgar ’s view of Paul liken to that of Leto Atreides , Paul ’s Fatherhood . Leto always severalise Paul that it did n’t matter if he was a leader or a fighter , but that he was simply his son . This is a stark contrast to Stilgar ’s insistence that Paul is the Lisan al Gaib , thrust him to be defined by the Fremen prophecy .

Despite this lack of demarcation between Paul ’s mentors , Stilgar remains one of the good characters inDune : Part Two .

Paul learn full reward of this , using his Bene Gesserit teachings to become the vaticinator Fremen like Stilgar call up he is . This further bolsters Bardem ’s character , whose feeling opens the door for others to guess of the young Atreides as a prophet as well .
Stilgar ’s belief in Paul also foreshadows his upgrade to power on Arrakis , leading an assault that terminate in him becoming Emperor of the beetleweed , starting a galactic holy war . While Stilgar was just one person believing in Paul the entire time , the ripple effect of his impression opened the doorway for him to become the contested ruler of manhood . While the Fremen leader was just one minuscule part of this development , his initial faith is what push the now - prophet toward this upcoming dispute .
While it ’s disappointing Stilgar ’s character was n’t in good order contrasted with the other mentors Paul had in the first movie , Dune : Part Twostill emphasize his role in a meaningful agency .
How Stilgar Fits Into Paul’s Story After Dune 2

Despite the inevitability ofPaul ’s nefarious arc inDune 3 , Stilgar ’s loyalty remains intact . This is because , despite the state of war the Fremen ’s new seer seek to wage across the galaxy , Stilgar is convert the dispute is a fulfilment of the Lisan al Gaib ’s prophecy . For him , trueness to the new galactic Emperor trump all other beliefs , make him complicit in everything Paul does move forward . It add layers of complexity to his fictional character , as his worship makes him open to even more flagitious actions by his new leader .
While it ’s disappointing Stilgar ’s character was n’t properly contrasted with the other wise man Paul had in the first moving-picture show , Dune : Part Twostill emphasized his purpose in a meaningful way . By acting as a loyal servant to the Lisan al Gaib , he was capable to exude impression that helped make the vaticination become a reality . His thematic importance to the account rest integral , even if a more lineal comparing between him and someone like Leto would have strengthened it .
