The irony of the Sardaukar is that they're absolutely the elite... in conventional warfare. Conventional warfare in Dune requires shields and close combat weaponry, with the killing blow being slowed down to pierce the shield. Shields can't be used on Arrakis due to the worms being drawn to them. Thus, these experts in shielded melee combat are completely incapable of dealing with foes who are used to unshielded combat in the desert. This is why the Emperor had to be lured to Arrakis: On their home ground where they could use standard tactics, the Sardaukar would win, just like when they stormed the Atreides estate. It was only by bringing them out in the desert where all of their advantages were neutralized could the Fremen win. Striking where your enemy is weakest and you are strongest is the most fundamental principles of strategic warfare, and Paul was taught very well by his mentors.

Sand worms can roll. The Fremen used hooked levers to force their external planes apart and the worm would roll, so that the gap would be on top, and its why the worms did not dive fully under the sand. To dismount you would just pull the hooks out and the worm would roll whichever way was most comfortable, and you would step off as it rolled, or the worm would dive you you just stepped off onto the sand like the bottom step on the escalator.

For me this fight always reminds me of that Bane quote from Dark Knight Rises “victory has defeated you” the Sardukars haven’t faced a legitimate challenger in years, and now they face real warriors on their home terf, that’s why they get absolutely slaughtered by the Freman, they aren’t prepared for an enemy that actually poses a threat

Yeah, this is one of the most badass films ever made. It's astonishing

Man i love that shot at 3:34, so cool seeing the dude riding one and then u see the other worms with their riderd parallel to him. Such a awesome shot.

This shot of Chani at 4:49 beautifully echoes a pivotal moment from part one, where Paul envisions a scene remarkably similar to this battle. The resemblance between Paul's vision and Chani's movements highlights the uncanny accuracy of his prescience, albeit with a subtle variation. This parallel underscores how Paul's visions consistently align with reality, reminiscent of how Jamis imparts desert wisdom to him.

Yes the sardaukar are a problem and demons to the other houses but compared to the fremen the sardaukar fails in comparison especially since in the books they fear the worms.

​@@costco_pizza Yes. The Sardaukar, up until now, were widely BELIEVED to be the greatest warriors in the galaxy. They believed this because they did not know who the Fremen truly are.

His second great deduction: Arrakis is even worse.

unpopular opinion: this "climax" was more like falling action. Great cinematography, score, and pretty epic, but far too rushed. This whole movie actually felt rushed and way too long at the same time. Also, Tomato Calamari and Zendaya's chemistry was just not convincing throughout

About the shields, it made no differences at this point, the Fremen would prevail, with or without shields against them. For the Baron, we had a shot of the camera on his left hand shaking, where on his ring there's his shield activator, that we see being in used in part one, when he's approaching a naked and under drugged Leto in the.... Dinner room I guess. We clearly saw before and after Paul's coming into the Emperor's Throne Room, the Baron was left in shock due to his loss of levitation, and willing to thrive for power (he tried to reach the throne despite his state).

How do you concentrate a force so large, within 3km (2miles) of the enemy's most secure and heavily protected location, without the enemy knowing about your presence? How bad are the enemy's early warning systems, radars, satellite imaging, scouts, and even basic b**h binoculars, to allow for you to mass such a force, so close to them, in the first place? I mean, while watching the movie, i enjoyed it. But after i left the theater and was on my way home, i couldn't quite shake the fact that the battle is absolutely ridiculous as a concept. It cannot happen this way. I've served in my nation's Army for 5 yrs, and i promise you, even a poor 3rd world country today, could have seen the Freman army build up, well in advance.

I find it interesting how fast the Emperor deployed and setup his forces once landing.

It's horribly rushed. Awesome and all.. but just way too rushed. I understand why he may had to do it this way. But Lynch made it all under two hours and the tempo felt right.

As good as this movie was, I thought the final battle was somewhat anti-climactic. It was over way too quickly, we saw almost nothing of it and at no time did we think there was any real challenge to begin with. MUCH worse, was Paul just casually telling the Fremen - none of whom have any familiarity with the controls or workings of a space ship, much less space combat, to jump into a bunch of space ships they've never seen and go engage in a massive space battle with the veteran troops of all the houses of the Landsraad... the film was excellent, but I felt like they dropped the ball at the end with an overly rushed finish.

Shields make most handheld guns ineffective. Shields in this universe are best overcome with some kind of melee weapon that can pass slowly through the shield. Beyond that the only way to take out shields is either specialized projectiles or missiles that are designed to "drill" through the shield on contact, or conversely a strong enough projectile weapon that can overpower the shield through sheer impact (like a strong missle or warhead). Essentially just a regular projectile pistol or rifle wouldn't cut it so a lot of basic infantry use swords (well besides a lazgun but those are not recommended).
