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.
