What exactly are Tuskan Raiders?

I mean I know they are not Human but, I have no idea what they are.. What do they look like under their robes..? Thanks!

This might help a little - http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tusken_Raider

Honestly, I thought that they were just a tribe of crazy folks whom like to party a lot.



Now kill the thread with fire!!

 

Those Tuskens walk like men....

but they are mindless vicious monsters...

they are also easily startled, but they'd soon big back in greater numbers,

apparently they are like animals and they get slaughtered....like animals.

So there you are

 

Don't let the "People" part of their name fool you. They deserve whatever they have coming to them, no matter the context.

 

They always ride in single file to hide their numbers.

 

I read somewhere that they are rodent like and they and the Jawas are the same species that split years ago.

 

Those aren't robes. That's just the outside of their bodies. They're all running around naked.



Actually, in the EU, one Tusken Raider took off his robes and he was just a regular guy. I think he was force-sensitive too. I'm not sure that was considered canon even when canon hadn't been changed into "legends" (you know, real fiction "canon" vs. fake fiction "legends" if that makes any sense at all!).

say whaaa?

 

If you can imagine the offspring of Simon Cowell and giant skunk you are a very strange individual, what Tusken raiders look like i have no idea.

 

It's quite common in SW to have human inductees of the Tuskens.

That's from the ANH novelization - as a much disputed hypothesis.

The landspeeder jumped forward as Threepio engaged the accelerator, but its occupants were totally unaware that other eyes were watching as the craft increased its speed.
Those eyes were not organic, but then, they weren't wholly mechanical, either. No one could say for certain, because no one had ever made that intimate a study of the Tusken Raiders—known less formally to the margin farmers of Tatooine simply as the sandpeople. The Tusken didn't permit close study of themselves, discouraging potential observers by methods as effective as they were uncivilized.
A few xenologists thought they must be related to the jawas. Even fewer hypothesized that the jawas were actually the mature form of the sandpeople, but this theory was discounted by the majority of serious scientists. Both races affected tight clothing to shield them from Tatooine's twin dose of solar radiation, but there most comparisons ended. Instead of heavy woven cloaks like the jawas wore, the sandpeople wrapped themselves mummy-like in endless swathing and bandages and loose bits of cloth.
Where the jawas feared everything, a Tusken Raider feared little. The sandpeople were larger, stronger, and far more aggressive. Fortunately for the human colonists of Tatooine, they were not very numerous and elected to pursue their nomadic existence in some of Tatooine's most desolate regions. Contact between human and Tusken, therefore, was infrequent and uneasy, and they murdered no more than a handful of humans per year. Since the human population had claimed its share of Tuskens, not always with reason, a peace of a sort existed between the two—as long as neither side gained an advantage.
One of the pair felt that that unstable condition had temporarily shifted in his favor, and he was about to take full advantage of it as he raised his rifle toward the landspeeder. But his companion grabbed the weapon and shoved down on it before it could be fired. This set off a violent argument between the two. And, as they traded vociferous opinions in a language consisting mostly of consonants, the landspeeder sped on its way.

 

Honestly I always thought that they were guys who had been melted by the heat of the Suns on their planet... Of course I was a child then. Lol. After seeing the wiki page I'm glad I didn't know that as a child! Lol

 

They always seemed like they would have skin that looked like beef jerky and smelled of sweaty socks left out in the sun for a few weeks, but that's just me.

 

Obviously they look like middle aged balding men with a divine 'stache
