Tatooine sucks.

It does. There is nothing there worth a damn. It's immeasurable boringness is the focal point of not just one, but BOTH trilogies of the Star Wars saga. Anakin wanted off. Luke wanted off. I bet even the Tusken Raiders wanted off. It sucks. It SUCKS. IT IS BORING AND IT SUCKS! WHY IS IT EVEN A PLANET? IT IS THE GALACTIC EQUIVALENT OF LIVING IN NEVADA NOWHERE NEAR LAS VEGAS. WHAT CRUEL FORCE WOULD MAKE SUCH A DUSTBALL HABITABLE? SOMEONE SHOULD TAKE A GIANT DEADLY SPACE LASER/STATION AND PEW PEW THE ROCK INTO AN ASTEROID BELT!

:mad:

EFF YOU AND THE TWO SUNS YOU CAME ORBITING AROUND, TATOOINE!

    Because making planets with only a single biome, oddly, allows storytellers of various forms more variety. Need a change of scenery? Go to a desert planet, or an ocean planet, or a jungle planet.

    But yeah, Tatooine is kinda dull. I'm always glad to leave it whenever I play a Star Wars game--and every Star Wars game does go to Tattoine. At least Knights of the Old Republic gives the planet a reasonable backstory.

    Tatooine should not be habitable. There aren't enough plants to generate oxygen.

    Not my fault all the trees went bye bye. It may be because its so harsh that you find only the most wretched hive of scum and villainy. :o

    Wait, but Jar Jar came from Naboo. Which is lush and pretty.

    No Jar Jar was booted off Naboo, Which is lush and pretty and bloody quiet for one.

    As far as I know; he was booted, came back, became a general, then an ambassador. How he achieved the role of ambassador is beyond me.

    The main reason I'm tired of Tatooine is because almost every single JA server defaulted to FFA3 for some reason. After ten years of that, it's more than worn itself out.

    Besides, Tatooine was just Lucas's poor imitation of Arrakis - minus the melange, sandworms, Fremen, story and intrigue.

    You-sah, stuck your head in an electric arc on Tatooine. I'm surprised you remember anything after that. :rolleyes:

    As to Tatooine's value: well, there are the Krayt dragon pearls.

    You know what... I can't think of a SINGLE Star Wars movie that didn't involve some form of Desert planet.

    Ep1: Tatooine
    Ep2: Geonosis
    Ep3: Tatooine
    Ep4: Tatooine
    Ep5: Hoth (Yes... Ice planet can also technically be considered desert)
    Ep6: Tatooine

    Tatooine sucks, but came up the most... What is it about that ball of sand anyways? I think the only good thing we got out of Tatooine was the Jawas.

    A full desert planet should not be able to have breathable atmosphere. Not enough plants to produce O2. Without Oxygen no animal or human life can be there without a spacesuit or environmental suit. And two suns would fry it like Venus which then you would need heat armor for your suit. Star wars really needs to think of this. Only way for a all desert planet to have O2 is if it had plants underground giving off O2 but plants need light to live. No light no plant no plant no O2.

    Plus the air be so dry it would sap water from you at a alarming rate. Think of a room with dry air now think of it 1000 times worse your skin will be all chapped up and eventually start to crack up. The air will rob you of your water. Unless you got many gallons of skin cream to keep it hydrated. And eventually you need a bath, shower no water to take one then you got to have your friends,family lick bath you clean (I would enjoy this who wouldn't).

    There will be no food anywhere cause a all desert planet cannot support life there for you can't hunt or grow crops the ground would be infertile. Try to grow a crop plant on Mars or Venus. And see any hunting animals on Mars or Venus?

    Common sense is this a barren world is no place to live ever.

    The EU did some continuity patching to make that make a bit more sense. Tatooine does have plant life in more sheltered areas like the canyons, and things like lichens that live in the sand. There's also mentions of mushrooms growing on moisture farmers' water vaporators.

    And in SWTOR Tatooine also happens to be the planet where the most people get lynched by other players in mobs (mostly outside the imperial base on the edge of the dune sea).

    Well there was a Balloon ride and long commutes to find Cubes intermingled with angry people trying to kill i and i .. and the secret cavern ledge to hop on to find a cube at the start of a valley fuil of more angry people campin the respawn. i recall that..

    Then we went Sith and everything still hated us but we ditn have to be nice andymore and got force choke workin..
    and the meanest Pig men and flying ants with freakin lazor beams.

    I never thought id be so happy to see alderaan which was sorta Andorian but with a Sky Dragon like thingie to ride which made us look kewl finding more sweet gear to complete our look as a Counselor..
    Or impress My Tw Let with random acts of kidness and Cyborg Sith Ladery Lordling things.
