In terms of the story, it works and it achieves the stated goals of the editor. Even after removing twenty-two minutes of runtime, none of the main story beats suffered and the pace improved, as it should be expected. The highlights of the edit were the removal of a few of the “bad guys” scenes that served no real purpose other than to spoil the surprise. This also include the scene on Salusa Secundus that I felt made no sense in the original, and it makes even less sense after watching Dune Part 2. Great work on these.
