I actually think it was a good decision. The sister doesn't play a huge part in the first book. The movie had to compress things for time. It would've been distracting to introduce a new character that doesn't do much during the crescendo near the end.

Didn't watch the movie, get why they'd leave out Alia, but I always look forward to her killing the baron when I reread. makes me sad about Children too.

Lol was hoping for that too but you realize it won't happen third of the way in. I think the third movie is going to have add all the parts about Alia they cut. Which I agree is not too much. For non dune fans that were with me Alia came out as ultra creepy and they didn't get her character. In Past versions I was sympathetic toward her. But again she didn't have much screen time to flush her out a bit.

I guess she is sorta creepy in the books, but with the literary irony u sympathise. That's be hard in a movie

For true stories that are so ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an !theonion worthy story.
