I couldn't find Luke's home planet (Tatoni??) in under a minute so I gave up.

Tatooine (pronounced tætu'in) was a desert world in a binary star system in the Arkanis sector of the Outer Rim Territories. It was inhabited by poor locals who mostly farmed moisture for a living. Other activities included used equipment retailing and scrap dealing. The planet was on the 5709-DC Shipping Lane, a spur of the Triellus Trade Route, which itself connected to the Sisar Run. The planet was not far from the Corellian Run. It had its own navigation system. However, it would still play a role in galactic events, serving as the home of Anakin Skywalker. 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. Tatooine was also the home of Anakin's son, Luke, where he lived until his early adulthood. The planet built up a very bad reputation, often being viewed as the cesspool of the galaxy due to the high-level of criminals who could be found onworld.
Wait! Didn't Spielberg shoot himself in the foot during Episode 1 saying it was a Hutt controlled planet? (if I'm wrong I wouldn't be surprised). I swear Qui-Gon Jinn mentioned it.KVoimakas wrote:Not according to Star Wars Wiki:Tatooine (pronounced tætu'in) was a desert world in a binary star system in the Arkanis sector of the Outer Rim Territories.

Qui-Gon did, yes. But saying it's controlled by the Hutts could've been a mistake. It might've been more like controlled by Jabba's family. Tejisilic Tiuri or something like that. It WAS controlled by A Hutt.neotrotsky wrote:Wait! Didn't Spielberg shoot himself in the foot during Episode 1 saying it was a Hutt controlled planet? (if I'm wrong I wouldn't be surprised).

I read the EU stuff, can tell you exactly how Lucas fucked all us Star Wars nerds with the prequels (and the books he turned non-canon with them) and quite a bit more.
Yes. I'm a nerd.

You should know that Lucas is first and foremost a business man. The movie market changed significantly since the first three movies, which were released in a time when rated R movies made serious money. Now days, rated R borders on a curse, as people tend to favor more family appropriate movies. And it’s the all age appeal movies that are making big coin, like the Shreck series. So Lucas took the basic story and made is a little less dark, and a little more appropriate for all ages. Still, when watching Episode 3, I skip past the killing of the young Jedi and much of the wanton slaughter, which was admittedly watered way down, but my kids are quite young.KVoimakas wrote:Star Wars is my thing.

The Clone War wasn’t what I’d hoped it would be, but it basically stuck to the story. I was hoping for much more details and much more intrigue; and it would have been cool to see some psychotic cloned Jedi.
Most really hated the kid who played Anakin Skywalker, but I thought he did a good job. I picture Anakin exactly like that, and the path to the dark side very much like the whining tantrum of a self absorbed and confused teenager who has too much power at his disposal. The whining that everyone hated, I thought was 100% in character…you just wanted to step in and bitch-slap him (something missing from the Jedi training manual). So all in all, I thought the journey to Darth Vader was done pretty well considering they were really trying their best to water it down to make PG.
Oh, and I can totally see the destruction of the Old Republic as a bumbling move by Jar Jar Binks (the character kids love, and adults hate). If they had to have Jar Jar, then it was appropriate that it was him who started the old republic on its way out.
