First of all Zendaya is barely a minority. You’re acting like they cast Leslie Jones. The Fremen are clearly middle eastern inspired so she’s right on the nose ethnicity.

You are misreading my comments— I made no suggestion otherwise. The deep spirituality and the physical hardiness of the Fremen is a major theme in Herbert’s overall vision so I have no issue with Chani serving as a moral figure in the film adaptation.

I indeed thought the film was well cast: I especially like Javier Bardem as Stilgar. He brought both great humor and poignancy to the character.
