You cant talk aboutthe world of Dunewithout talking about sandworms.
And if youre talking about sandworms, youre probably going to talk about thumpers.
Dune: Part Two, which opens in theaters March 1, has a lot of thumpers in it.

Like, a lot.
And while watching, you cant help but wonder, where do these thumpers come from?
Are they just one-and-done devices?

Yeah, its a thing you ask yourself, the director admitted to io9.
Im sure the Fremen thought about that.
Im sure that theres a way to recycle because its a culture that is all about recycling.
Its a bit like people living in space.
Its an environment thats so harsh and they are very clever people.
So, theres a way of recycling those thumpers to find them back.
We should ask a Fremen.
Wait, did he say recycle?
How do you recycle something thats been eaten?
Oh, Denis, no.
You will not see that happen in Dune: Part Two.
But, if the film does well, a part three called Dune: Messiah is likely to happen.
And maybe then there will be a subplot about thumper recycling.
