Honestly what were they thinking when they made TROS and The Mandalorian BOTH feature a new desert planet. At least making it Tatooine eliminates one of them.
I mean, aren’t desert planets more likely to exist? As sand is just tiny rocks?
I mean, you’re right. Most of the planets in real life that aren’t gas giants are probably just desert planets, but I don’t see anyone complaining about that. I can picture the angry Reddit comments already:
“Astronomers just discovered a new exoplanet, and it turns out it’s ANOTHER desert planet. Seriously God, get some originality! The planets just haven’t been the same since Neptune was discovered, now it’s all just lame copies!”
