    I’d say not, because they’re apparently large enough that a Krayt dragon can fit into the cavity left behind after eating one. That thing was maybe not as long as a sandstorm, but definitely as chubby

      Well, that’s information made up after they appeared on screen first. I guess it depends on what we’re talking about. Talking about the very first appearance, just a mouth in the sand, that’s 100% a Dune sandworm with a different name. Some time after that more detail was added to the world that differentiated it from that.

        Last I checked Sandworms didn’t have:

        • a tongue, beaked or otherwise,
        • a bunch of tentacles that could grab and pull food in
        • an apparent inability to move

        If you’re going to generalize that much, to say they’re the same… does it really matter? It’s not like Herbert didn’t add to sandworm cannon either; so further explanations to what a sarlacc even is shouldn’t be discounted either.

        I wouldn’t even call a sarlacc a worm, to be honest.
