They don't hold a candle to really good climbing skills, I'm told.

I'll wager that they leave that out as it'll look too weird. Also,

Spoiler:

Hayt is a mentat, so they'll want him to do Thufir's eyeroll thing.

The character of Thufir Hawat (Stephen McKinley Henderson) was briefly introduced in Dune as a loyal friend and adviser to House Atreides, but there was no sign of the Mentat (human computer) in the recent sequel.

Director Denis Villeneuve has previously said that out of all the scenes that ended up being cut from Part Two, losing Hawat was the most "painful."

"One of the most painful choices for me on this one was Thufir Hawat. He's a character I absolutely love, but I decided right at the beginning that I was making a Bene Gesserit adaptation. That meant that Mentats are not as present as they should be, but it's the nature of the adaptation."

“We continue to learn and evolve. We would have never imagined the Dune thing. We would have never created it knowing it would be celebrated or mocked,” AMC Chief Content Officer Elizabeth Frank told Variety about the overwhelming response to the sandworm bucket, which even got cast and crew talking for its, uh... soft, wormy tendrils, driving people to go crazy with demand for the shai-hulussy-shaped vessel.

Dune 2 was a really good movie and I hope they do make God Emperor. I just preferred Lynch's version with pugs and Kenneth McMillan's over-the-top performance.
