Dune spends a lot of time explaining the Spacing Guild and the importance of the Spice Melange. The Guild Navigators, however, are hardly even mentioned in Dune, and they are not shown at all. The failure to truly introduce the Guild Navigators will have to be corrected in Dune: Part Two as they are an essential part of Paul Atreides' story and to the universe as a whole. The entire process of interstellar travel will need to be further explained and the Guild Navigators are the most fundamental part of interstellar travel.

Why Dune Left Out The Guild Navigators

Dune had a lot to cover, introducing elements like the living with Dune's Fremen, the sequel needs to take the time needed to properly explain the Spacing Guild and the Guild Navigators' importance therein.

The Guild Navigators Should Be Important To Dune 2's Story

The Guild Navigators need to be featured prominently in Dune: Part Two for the importance of Spice to be fully understood by the audience. Guild Navigators are essential because through their extended exposure to Spice, they become super-evolved and gain the ability to chart courses through the stars safely. Without the Guild Navigators there would be no interstellar travel in Dune or Dune: Part Two, an important part of the plot. The new cast for Dune 2 show no evidence of Guild Navigators, however, that is likely because they will not be played by famous actors, considering their appearance will likely be heavily dependent on CGI.

The role of Guild Navigators in Dune: Part Two could determine whether the movies are able to do justice to Frank Herbert's legendary novels. The movie series simply cannot properly recreate the Dune universe without the Guild Navigators playing an essential role. Though the first movie was incredible, the inclusion of the Navigators is the most important course correction Dune: Part Two needs to make.
