It just doesn’t show or say what’s particularly cool about them.
I'm having a hard time visualizing how you tell the first third of the story w/o getting into Yueh's conditioning and how De Vries breaks it. De Vries also becomes a boring character if you've taken mentats out of the universe.
Also how the fuck do you take mentats out of a universe that's banned computers. Lame
Piter is literally a non-character in the movie. He just hangs out around Baron and has like two lines in the whole movie to facilitate Baron's monologues.
Yueh is just a traitor. The whole "we have a traitor but who can it be" mystery subplot is omitted.
It's curious that the banned computers thing that's supposed to be a big deal for the setting is never brought up and it seems like people for whom this movie is their fist interaction with Dune don't really care.

Sounds like Troy where they took the mythology out of the Iliad.
Like it's an entirely different story at that point
I mean, Thufir Hawat and Yueh are in the movie. It just doesn't show or say what's particularly cool about them.
