Award-winning author Fonda Lee returns to discuss Denis Villeneuve’s epic sequel that finishes his Dune adaptation where the Bene Gesserit’s plan to engineer a savior comes into center frame. In episode 303, Luke, James, and Fonda discuss what Frank Herbert regretted after the initial release of his landmark novel, the many significant changes to the book and what they mean, the shifting role of Chani, the more villainous Jessica, a fetus-version of Alia, and how Denis is laying the groundwork for DUNE MESSIAH. They finish by casting their votes on which was better: the book or Part One and Part Two combined!
