It would damn hard to pull off the epic battle scenes since all the Fremen are using them.

I may be wrong, but changing the Weirding Module story line may be able to be done.
With a bit of sound and film editing, all reference to the weapons being related to the Bene Gesserit Voice can be altered. They can just become Sound Weapons of some type. They did this kind of trick with Highlander 2's Directors Cut. In a way, I am glad the film did not have laser blast type weapons. By 1984 so many films and T.V. shows had jumped on the Star Wars bandwagon, and had some type laser effect weapons. LYNCH came up with something new and different. All and all, I do agree that it just did not work having the Weirding Module weapons being part of the Bene Gesserit lore.
