Tatooine/Legends

Tatooine

Description
"Do you know what planet we're above? It's a barren sand heap. We better check our gear and make sure we're prepared for it." "A-ahem... I was wondering if one of...or all of you could help me and in turn I'll give you men something wet before you go down to that dry place."

- A stormtrooper and Leia Organa

Tatooine was situated on one side of the Onixan space lane.

The deserts experienced rare rains, after which wild flowers grew.

Locations
The sandy dunes were home to moisture farms that made use of moisture vaporators, including the Lars homestead and Camie's family moisture farm.

Tatooine had a number of spaceports offering offworld travel and better prospects. Anchorhead was the site of Tosche Station, a repair shop that utilized offworld parts shipped into Mos Eisley. Anchorhead was a smaller and less vibrant town than Mos Eisley.

History
"You're a virgin?" "Not much chance back home. The only girl around that was old enough had a boyfriend ugly as a womp-rat and twice as mean."

- Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker

Luke Skywalker grew up as a farmboy on Tatooine, spending time with a group of friends at Tosche Station, racing his T-16 skyhopper, and fantasizing over Camie. His dream girl visited him after a bust-up with her boyfriend Fixer, and seduced the young man to take his virginity.

Inhabitants
Hundreds of desert rats with weathered appearances milled around the streets of Mos Eisley, though venues such as the Mos Eisley cantina catered to a diverse range of Humans and aliens. Natives typically wore loose, white, homespun attire which was often derided as belonging to yokels. Whores frequented Mos Eisley and its cantina, but few were desirable women, many being either old enough to be past their prime or too young and inexperienced. Many of the latter were moisture farmers' daughters who sought better prospects in the spaceports, but ended up working as whores, or worse ending up in Jabba's Palace. Moisture farms were considered to be places where locals indulged incestuous lust with their kin.
