This is just something I noticed just now. I haven't seen this discussed anywhere.

Now, the premise of the above title sounds ridiculous. I mean this is the planet that is the farthest from the bright center of the universe, the boring dust bowl that nothing ever happens on, thats so boring that when Luke sees two ships in the sky he practically pees his pants with excitement.

But, looking at this page thats been up for a while now, a detail just leapt out at me like a facehugger on John Hurt.



Notice anything here? I notice a hammerhead alien, some Jawas, and a sandy color pallete. But where else are Hammerheads and Jawas found but Tatooine?

Then I saw this right below it:



Its even got the twin suns.

Do the Clone Wars come to Tatooine?? Could this be the mother of all retcons? With Anakin having a padawan I guess anything is possible. I could be wrong--I hope I'm wrong--but this is intriguing evidence.

Wow I never even clued onto those screen shots before, but it would make sense.

Keep in mind, some lucky few of us actually got to see the glimpse of Jabba on the Official Star Wars site. Where is Jabba's crib? Tatooine of course!

The cantina looks exactly like the Mos Eisley cantina too! It never occured to that the wars could've waged there, considering Lukes comment about Tatooine being so far from the bright side of the universe, and in the cut scenes from ANH about no one giving a damn about Tatooine.

isn't this obvious from the fact we see Clones inside Jabba's Palace in the trailer?

I could be wrong, but in the Filoni video it sure looks like they're on the banking clan's planet of Muunilist.

But dosen't going to Tatooine after his mother's death kind of undermine the reason he didn't find Obi-Wan during the purge

I don't follow (or like) the EU, but there are thousands of planets which Obi-Wan could have been on.

They had Anakin visit Tatooine in other Clone Wars material, IIRC, but just briefly (The New Droid Army game comes to mind, as does the Clone Campaigns for Galactic Btatlegrounds, though I don't believe Anakin was involved in the latter).

I don't think it's a matter of Anakin outright refusing to set foot on Tatooine, but it's not something he'd care to do if given an alternative. As Vader, he can do whatever he wants and avoid the planet- but as Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight? he's still gotta go where the council orders him to.

Exactly. If the Jedi council tells Anakin he's being sent to Tatooine, he couldn't pull one of his fits. Plus, What exactly, would he tell them when they ask why he doesn't want to go there.

"Well you see, Master Yoda and Master Windu, there was this funny little incident involving some Tusken Raiders...."

So what you're really saying, is: The banner in here is a Tatooine banner!

I think George should just move the ranch to Tunisia...make everything much cheaper.

I've had it with Tatooine...it's the one planet in the universe I root for them to blow up!

It was ideal as a selection because it was a nothing world on which the story could become the center stage...and yet everything seems to get tacked onto it.

though I must say Coruscant isn't much better...but at least you can understand why so much come to a head there.

Oh well...maybe the Sarlacc will eat some retreating clones or something...that'd be cool to see.

It would be sick if they did a mirror of 300 and the kicking off the cliffs. But it would be the clones charging the droids into the Sarlacc.

That WOULD be sick.
