Stilgar is supposed to become a fanatic, it's a very impactful line in the book:
I haven't seen the second movie (don't know that I will,) they just have him like that from the jump?
Yeah, it's one of the worst changes from the book - Stilgar is a believer from the beginning, and is even described by other Fremen as being kind of a religious fanatic who sees prophecy everywhere. It's an unfortunate change, as this was one of the most important themes in the book, the way that fanaticism debases people.
It's a bummer that Stilgar doesn't go on that journey in thia film, especially consider how much it beats us on the head that the prophecy is a cynical manipulation.
That's so lame, many of Paul's fever-dreams are agonizing over this exact thing, the transformative impact of the Jihad and seeing it ripple through culture and history. The other changes AOCapitulator mentioned are pretty bad/annoying, but I am really not a fan of this one.
