One of the many extraordinary features unique to Tatooine was the mysterious mists, which rose regularly from the ground where desert sands met cliffs and mesas.

Due to the extreme conditions, only a relatively mild region of its northern hemisphere was habitable, and less than 1% of the planet was covered in surface water. The planet circled the suns far enough to develop a stable, but very hot, climate. This was the case for the people who discovered Tatooine as they first thought Tatooine was in fact a star until they approached and discovered that it was a desert planet. In fact, it was so brightly lit by the suns that from space it could appear to be a star itself. Tatooine orbited two suns, Tatoo I and Tatoo II, and was covered in deserts and rock formations, so the days were extremely arid and bright, especially during double noon.

I used to live here, you know.' ―Luke Skywalker Tatooine was also the home of Anakin's son, Luke, where he lived until his early adulthood. It was here that Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn recognized Anakin's potential to become a Jedi and where he introduced him to Obi-Wan Kenobi, his future master and mentor. However, it would nevertheless play a role in major galactic events throughout the millennia, most notably being the homeworld of Anakin Skywalker. The planet acquired a bad reputation, often being viewed as the cesspool of the galaxy due to the large number of criminals who could be found there. The planet was not far from the Corellian Run. The planet was on the 5709-DC Shipping Lane, a spur of the Triellus Trade Route, which itself connected to the Sisar Run. Other activities included used equipment retailing and scrap dealing. It was inhabited by poor locals who mostly farmed moisture for a living. It was part of the Arkanis sector in the Outer Rim Territories. Tatooine (pronounced /tætu'in/ Jawaese: Tah doo Een e ) was a desert world and the first planet in the binary Tatoo star system. Obi-Wan and Luke then took the droids to Mos Eisley, where they hired Han Solo and Chewbacca to transport them to Alderaan.' Well, if there's a bright center to the universe, you're on the planet that it's farthest from.' ― Luke Skywalker, to C-3PO - Listen ( file info) The troopers killed the Jawas as well as Owen and Beru. While Luke and Threepio were hunting for Artoo, Vader’s stormtroopers located the Jawas and learned to whom the robots had been sold. After Luke and C-3PO tracked the droid down, Obi-Wan saved them from a band of Tusken Raiders. Artoo tricked Luke Skywalker into removing his restraining bolt, then set off across the desert in search of Obi-Wan. Jawa scavengers found the droids and sold them to Owen Lars. Vader then sent a detachment of stormtroopers down to Tatooine to locate the plans. Artoo and his companion C-3PO blasted off from Leia’s ship in an escape pod, landing in the desert. Knowing she’d be captured, Leia fed the Death Star plans into R2-D2’s memory banks and told the astromech to find Obi-Wan. Leia’s mission failed when Darth Vader’s Star Destroyer seized her ship in orbit above Tatooine. Princess Leia Organa fled to the planet with the stolen plans for the Death Star, intending to find Obi-Wan and bring him to Alderaan to join the struggle against the Empire. Nearly two decades after the fall of the Republic, Tatooine was once again the site of pivotal events in galactic history.
