by tatooine-ish, do you mean more of what it looked like in the PT or in ady's Episodoe IV revisited when R2's in the canyons?

Like Star Wars: Revisited. Tatooine in the PT looks too much like Geonosis and vice-versa.

That's why in the Radical Prequel Redux thread I suggested merging them.

Giving Anakin a reason to come home and try to save his mother and the slaves he dreamed of releasing as a boy.

Tatooine the nowhere place was already blown by ROTJ and TPM.

Look where all the major wars keep happening on this planet (political faultlines) Tatooine being just outside the Republic and a bit of a dump would be the ideal place for the Seperatists to stage an attack on the Republic.

Having armies of battle droids marching about would live long enough in the memories of Mos Eisley residents to have droids banned from Cantinas.

The Jawas would make a mint clearing the battlefield, the Sandpeople would be mighty miffed with all their sacred lands being polluted by offworlders shooting the place up and the Empire would later install a corrupt gangster/warlord like Jabba to keep the shadey elements under control.

Shifting the colours from red to yellow wouldn't be too hard.

Talk for another place but it might be made to work.
