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.
Me personally i would take out the fact that anakins mom is a slave, well i would take any hint that either were slaves because the jedi didnt want to liberate the slaves from their masters. As confused matthew as pointed out many times, i do like the idea that Geonosis and Tatooine being merged together as a battle field is good.
If I was writing the script for epi. 2 i would of had Anakins mom wandering to pick the mushrooms that grow of the vaporators and she accidently stumbles across seperatists/battle droids. This wouldnt have to be seen, just Clegg Lars could still mention about her being taken but not by Sandpeople. He doesnt know where she has gone. Anakin could find her in a cave, as if she had been left there to die. This would make the whole scene with padme less stupid that she would fall for a mass murderer, he just angry at himself for not getting there in time to save her. Not really for this thread though lmao. I dont think jabba under the employ of the empire would work though to be honest. Jabba could hand in Luke to Vader if you were to go down that path, he knows he is a jedi knight, called skywalker. Would make the whole sarlacc scene a waste of jabbas time if he knew he could be paid for luke and clans lives.
