Dune (2021)
Stilgar first appears when Duncan Idaho introduces him to Leto and House Atreides.

After Paul and Jessica crash in the desert after escaping the Sardaukar troops, Stilgar finds them in the desert, and momentarily surrounds them with his tribe of Fremen. Stilgar initially orders that the two are killed, but is quick to change his mind when Jessica shows him that she is a fighter. Stilgar orders that the two be given sanctuary with the tribe until they reach their base, but things become more difficult when Jamis objects.

After challenging Jessica to a duel, Jamis falls at the hands of Paul and therefore Stilgar welcomes Paul within the tribe, hailing the Fremen's vow of a life-for-a-life.
