Lach Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 Every movie and game in the starwars universe, and a good chunk of the books all have the characters going to tatooine, or something important happening there......... why is some insiginifact dustball the center of the universe?
wassup Posted August 3, 2003 Posted August 3, 2003 Probably cause it was the first planet Star Wars fans got to see. And some other reasons, like Luke and Obi being there in Ep. 4 and Shmi and Ani being there in Ep. 1.
Wesia Daoke Posted August 3, 2003 Posted August 3, 2003 its not the center didnt u hear there on the outer rim lol i know wut u mean its just a cool place. but if u want the truth i asked George Lucas to make tatoonie the "Place" and he listens to me. jk
Sam Fisher Posted August 3, 2003 Posted August 3, 2003 Well, I guess its somewhat because a lot of the main charactors came from there, Luke, Ben, etc... IMO..
Atlas Posted August 3, 2003 Posted August 3, 2003 I would think its because both centers of the story (IE: Anakin and Luke) were both raised and left from to start the same journey. then again, i could be wrong, i dunno
CCKieran Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 Easy to follow why there's so much Tatooine in the movies; Anakin Skywaler- Raised on Tatooine. Tatooine had to be in Ep1 Again, Anakin went back to save Schmi; Ep2 Also in Ep2, we see Owen and Beru Lars, no doubt a connection between them and the Owen and Beru Lars in Ep4 Ep3......don't know Ep4-Luke was raised on Tatooine by Owen and Beru Lars. Not having seen any spoilers, I'm guessing Ben put him there, and hence Tatooine had to be in Ep4 Tatooine is not in Ep5, except they mention that they're going there in Ep 6- a bit silly to put "We're going to save Han at Tatooine" at the end of Ep 5 and then have them save him on Ryloth Politically, Tatooine isn't all that important, neither by location. People from Tatooine take a big chunk of important pie though.
Carbon_sleeper Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 Anakin was raised there. That makes me wonder what the heck Obi Wan was thinking! Yoda: "Hide the children of Skywalker, we must." Obi Wan: "I know! Let's take Luke to Anakin's home planet that he knows like the back of his hand. Hey, we could ask Anakin's own step-brother to keep him!" Yoda: "Yeah. Ok. Billions of planets there are that skywalker knows nothing of. But put him on the one planet Skywalker knows best, you want? Good idea." Obi Wan: "Great! I'll get right on it!" Runs out of the room. Yoda: "No! Wait! Sarcastic, I was being!"
boinga1 Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 hehe... BTW, you can delete your own posts, instead of apologizing and editting.
Jedi_Monk Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 I'm guessing Luke's being hidden there has something to do with Anakin's strong aversion to returning to his homeworld. He was a slave there, and his mother died there... why the heck would he want to go back?
Wesia Daoke Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 thats just like u goin to a camp for a long time then u go back ur mom dies u go back to camp wouldnt u wanna go home.

Coruscant would have been his home for longer than tatooine, at the Jedi Temple.
ninja Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 because its weird, and everyone from that planet seems to be the one that has to bring balance to the force lol.
TK-8252 Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 Just for your information, Coruscant's coordinants are (0,0) making it the center of the universe. Tatooine is just the most popular planet.
pbguy1211 Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 tatooine isn't "popular".... stuff just happens there. i'm in agreement with why vader wouldnt go back there... bad memories... but anakin doesnt know the planet by the back of his hand... he was what, 10 years old? how well do you know this planet? and how old are you?
lukeiamyourdad Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 Well a planet is very large so I doubt even the strongest Jedi in the galaxy can know it like the back of his head
The Cheat Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 i dont know earth like the back of my hand, i mean i dont know all the streets of tokyo or whatever because ive only seen a little bit of my own planet
Jedi_Monk Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Quote tatooine isn't "popular".... stuff just happens there. Amen! I think Tatooine is the most visually uninteresting planet in the saga. My two favorite Star Wars movies are the two that have Tatooine in them the least
rad-x Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 I disagree. The Jundland Wastes or the cool rocky outcroppings we see in Anakin's search, are magnificent and brilliant. Also, some of the giant creatures on Tatooine (especially the one who's skeleton is behind Threepio in ANH) are dangerous and menacing. So visually the worst...it's that vs Dagobah, since we have no idea of scale.
pleto4_ryan Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 another reason to put Luke at tatoine is that Vader would never think to search at that planet....

daring dueler Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Not the center:rolleyes: lol! that was funny carbon sleeper! ummm z he didnt kill him because that would kinda crap out the trilogy.
