I gotta say: I’m really starting to hate the spice arc in the boba show. It rips off dune, for starters (which starwars already does too much as is). Also it makes Tattooine more important than it should be. What made Tattooine cool before is that it was a backwater world. The biggest thing tho is that why would boba, a crime lord, want to stop CRIME?
Arrakis may be a barren desert planet, but it’s made explicitly clear why it’s so important to the Imperium from the get-go. Tatooine on the other hand, has absolutely nothing of importance yet the people in charge of the storytelling are weirdly fixated on Tatooine.
A few online articles have been popping up criticising the writers’ insistence on revisiting Tatooine, as it makes SW very small despite its setting being an entire galaxy.
