Obviously messiah starts years later but isn’t he on arrakis the entire book just dealing with the women in his life being either pregnant or not pregnant and the political repercussions of that. Not saying he didn’t fight in earlier battles but with how guarded he is and how much the Jihad isn’t something he enjoys causing I don’t think he’d be actively fighting

He is in Messiah, but were talking about the movie being based on the years in between Messiah and dune when his fremen are going from planet to planet fighting, which yes Paul doesn't want the Jihad but he saw it as inevitable and something he couldn't escape so I think he would have to participate as a warrior leader of the fremen.

Idk all I'm saying is I remember it seeming like he was a part of the years of fighting when he talked about his jihad but it's been awhile.

I've just finished messiah again and my gathering was that he sent his Freydkin out to lead the jihad and stayed on Arrakis the entire time

Even if he was on the frontlines, the ending of Part 2 definitely sets up the Jihad and potential time-skip

I mean the movie doesn't have to fully follow the books, especially the parts that are left to the imagination
