In audiovisual media, Tatooine is unironically more important. The legends books were a bit better about staying away.

I really don't mind them going back to Tatooine, my biggest issue is that they _still_ can't get it right. It's not very populated at all. Mos Espa is WAY too large for the population of the planet. The whole population of 200,000 look like they all live in Mos Espa. Also, the "mean boss" in the Kenobi series would never fly on that planet. Everyone would work together and were tough as nails to live on that planet. Community is _huge_ there. And we're never ever shown that.

Simple: droids. Consider the Lars moisture farm. The only humans we see there are Owen, Beru and Luke. They use droids to do most of the work. So, if you look at Tatooine as a whole, what kinds of people are there? For starters, lots and lots of smugglers and criminals who are not full-time residents of the planet. They are transient, coming and going as their "business" requires. So they don't count towards the full-time population. But they would naturally stay close to the cities unless they were hardcore survivalists. Because the cities are where you will find food, water and cantinas serving these things, along with landing bays for their ships. Case-in-point: Han was actually from Corellia, not Tatooine, and worked as a smuggler. So he was off-planet much of the time because he earned money smuggling, not setting up a retail shop in Mos Eisley. Even Jabba, who effectively ruled the planet, was not a native. Hence the incredible species diversity of his "court", who were no more native to Tatooine than he was.

I’ve read on Reddit and on wookiepedia that both mos eisley and mos espa are actually rather big cities. But that the dune sea is not nearly as densely populated and far more barren.

during pandemic lockdown a friend and I wrote a star wars book with our own characters right before the prequels. And yup they took a trip to tattione. Our people even sat down in the same booth in the cantina... because we could and for the story it made sense to go to that planet. You might be on to something 😂

I’ve watched every live action TV series on Disney+, and I liked them all. I am Generation Tech!

Tatooine is special, not just because it is a movie favorite (continuity). Tatooine has a history of iconic events and stages that date back before the Rakata; there's a lot of secrets hidden in that sand, things happen there that never would anywhere else even on planets known to be strong in one side of the force or the other. One day Lucas will continue his feelings on that planet.

It’s also the perfect space Western themed planet.

"It's really the classic RPG beginning" Literally if you got to play Star Wars: Galaxies. At launch there were five starting planets but everyone ended up on Tatooine, where it made sense to cobble together gear from scraps and go on hunting and raid missions to pay for your inevitable trips to the bacta tank.

Tatooine is... something else. In episode IV, they made a point of showing whale skeletons and evidence of long gone oceans. This has been quietly kept up throughout the expansion of the universe. Like Dune, something happened to drain the oceans and leave behind desolation. Unlike Dune, it's not sandworms, spice, and fundamentalist religions. If Owen and Beru Lars are average examples of the people there, people are willing to let the past be. It's also a world where very fine actors are sorely under used.

Because it's easy to film with minimal outside sets so different planet locations can easily be film in the same area, also there's a lot of things you can do with character and plot development like you can make the settings and characters be like the Old West an/or Middle East (sometimes mixing things up a bit

This video made me realize: Ahsoka and Andor may be the only Star Wars series that don't actually visit Tatooine. It's kind of freaky that only two out of 7 star wars series don't visit Tat, isn't it? Clone Wars, Rebels, Mandalorian, Book of Boba, and Obi-wan all have their fair share of sand scenes. For such an important planet in the SW galaxy, it's actually a little bit odd to see a story where something DOESN'T take place there.

Another reason to love Andor.

I know a lot of people are sick of Tatooine but it has always been my favourite Star Wars location and I am always happy when a show returns to it

"If you start hear, pretty much any direction you can go is upwards"... Except into a Sarlacc Pit. That's definitely not up.

I seem to recall it mentioned that Tatooine was a bit of a focal point for the Force particularly as it applied to the immaculate conception of Anakin Skywalker and prophesies of the collapse of the Old Republic. That would also play into its seemingly central role in the fate of the galaxy. Am I remembering that right? Anyone?

And not to mention that twin sunset is so iconic and beautiful that seeing it over and over never gets old.

The most obvious reason of all, I didn't hear you mention. It's because they already have the sets built for Tatooine. It would require a bit of work to convert them, and then they would need to convert them back later, possibly messing them up. For example, I noticed after the long running series Xena and Hercules ended, there was suddenly a flood of shows using the sets and wardrobe elements from those shows, especially in New Zealand. They probably sold the sets and wardrobe. Disney doesn't want to lose money.

I always thought it was because the location is cheaper to work on and has less you have to do to prepare the set, which is why they keep returning to "Tatooine" in that now cursed movie franchise bought by Disney and destroyed by it.

How did they end up on Tatooine after they fled Naboo bound for Coruscant?

I subscribed today after years of watching your video's. Nice work. You're doing a great job.

Plus every time we venture on Tatooine, it creates some lore that the fans want to explore even more. So the creators are somewhat trapped into the cycle of creating lore to explain something on Tatooine and then having to explore that new lore even more.

3:59 - I had no idea why Andor just _looked better_ than the Mandalorian in every scene. More tangible. Thanks for explaining what my mind saw without understanding!

I mean, for the specific examples of the Kenobi and Boba Fett shows, it makes sense to center on Tatooine because Kenobi lived there for 18 years and Boba Fett was last seen there in ROTJ. And they're two of the characters popular enough to draw an audience. (Pity about their shows not being, you know. Good.)

You forgot to mention Tatooine natives designed Jedi robes. Almost all the natives wear them. From moisture farmers to sand people. During the old republic they were the foremost leader in Jedi textiles, that's why Order 66 effected their economy the most.

Many writers and storytellers for hundreds, if not thousands of years have used the extremes of the desert, and the austerity it brings as a source of spiritual significance. The desert is where prophets and holy men would go to get away from worldly pleasures, reject the material and become closer to the divine. This was the case with Moses in the Book of Exodus, Jesus in the New Testament, where he was tempted by the Devil, where Mohammed goes to a cave to receive the word of Allah in the Qu'ran, and where Paul Atreides becomes the prophesied Mua'dib in Dune. Its no surprise then that George Lucas decided to make the hero of his story grow up in a desert environment before embarking on his hero's journey.

Tatooine isnt just a place but an idea. It embodies the diverse and dangerous galaxy that it is found in, and for better or worse remains one of the most iconic locations in the SWs galaxy. Idk if i'd vacation there but as far as places to live go there are much worse and much less interesting places.

The difference in background techniques is amazing. When the prequel films debuted, even by the standards of the day it looked janky as all hell. And it certainly hasn’t aged well at all. But this new tech from ILM is really well done 👌

1:38 Mando, who isn’t particularly adept at languages, has spent enough time on Tatooine that he is fluent at with Sand People language and culture. He doesn’t speak Huttese, or the frog lady language, or Jawa; so clearly Tatooine and the Sand People in particular, are important to Mando.

It's the Desert, and the Crime, and the Freedom. All three call to the human soul, and for different reasons. The Desert refines the soul, the Crime is the release of primal desires, and the Freedom is what every man wants (but usually doesn't know what to do with). Besides these, it's a convenient, well known planet, and the producers, directors, and writers don't have to build an entirely new world to play around with

I can't express how much i hate how often they return to Tatooine. It is a backwater planet that is supposed to have no major meaning. Yet they mold it into one of the most important planets in the galaxy, but at the same time no one seems to notice this plan is wildly important. And I'm actually fine with it showing up in the OG triology because it ties into why Han was there in the first place, i'm also fine-ish with it being in the prequals, but really already we are seeing how Anakin could have been born on literally any other backwater planet. And then even the sequal triology had to have a scene there.
