Random Star Wars musing of the day

[yubsie]

A thought struck me in the shower today.

Why the frak did humans settle on Tatooine in the first place? Did it used to be a much more hospitable environment? Because it's not like humans developed there. Or were chased by cylons until their ships broke down. People went to all the trouble of travelling through hyperspace to get to this lousy planet where even the dust has dust. What were they THINKING?

Or is it just that magnetic force that always drew the plot back to Tatooine at work?

I'm sure this much thought did NOT go into the initial conception of Tatooine, somehow. :p

Indeed, Georgey boy probably said "LET'S HAVE THEM ON A DESERT SO OUR ACTORS GET HEAT STROKE!" and in the second one "LET'S HAVE THEM IN THE SNOOOOOOOW SO THEY FREEZE TO DEATH! CONTRAST! CONTRAST!"

Alec Guiness was not amused methinks.

"Ooh, that would be neat! Let's do that!"

"But... but... logic!"

"SHUSH!" :p
