    The galaxy keeps bending around over and over again toward Tatooine. It is the planet that is furthest from the bright center of the universe but that doesn’t stop it from being sand Rome. the-more-you-know

      The only thing that makes Tatooine special is that it was originally the complete ass end of nowhere, but the freeze-gamer hoot and holler when media shows them a thing they’ve already seen

        That’s one of the most offputting parts of Star Wars in general: it’s bent into the gravity well of its fandom so much that the ass-end of space is also where more of its events seem to happen compared to other planets.

          Does the Star Wars FandomTM discuss anything other than the latest conspiracy about evil witch Kathleen Kennedy building a time machine to go back in time and kill George Lucas?

            There’s still eternal “who would win in a fight” calipers-laden midi-chlorian-fixated dick-waving contests between the fandoms of numerous glowbat-wavers.

          It’s got decades and decades of mythos built by countless artists and writers but the studios who run it, and George Lucas himself apparently, are so money hungry they reduse to take risks

            decades and decades of mythos

            Disney star wars is bad but the old expanded universe stuff was also bad lol

            That planet was meant all along to be an unremarkable sort of boring place to grow up on purpose with weird local problems but otherwise nothing that screamed SPACE ADVENTURE except the desire to leave it. susie-baffled
