Why these

If you want Dune: Part Two's blend of operatic political intrigue, reluctant heroes crushed by prophecy, and sweeping visual spectacle across hostile worlds, you'll probably find the closest match in Return of the King or Dune: Prophecy—both nail that combination of fractured alliances, generational stakes, and the weight of inevitable destiny. The prequels (Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith) hit similar notes on mythic scope and the collision between personal desire and galactic fate, though they're less assured in execution. If you're specifically chasing that tension between foreknowledge and powerlessness, The Wheel of Time or even Iron Man 2 might scratch the itch, though neither quite captures the same operatic grandeur.
