I'll add another mistake regarding background: laser weapons. Shouldn't be used by ground troops according to the Dune books.
It's the same with the "weirding modules". That's all based on the movies instead of the books.
As for the knives + nukes: that's according to the books. At some point in time, a jihad against machines & computers took place, but apparently nuclear weapons survived this. Which partly makes sense, the only way to get rid of them is to use them... In the books not just the Harkonnen have a nuclear arsenal, most of the greater houses do.
