Tatooine

Tatooine is a fictional desert planet in the Star Wars universe, notable as the home world of both Anakin and Luke Skywalker.

The planet orbits twin suns and features moisture farmers, Jawas, and Tusken Raiders.

In broader usage, Tatooine evokes remote, harsh, or backwater locations: This town is basically Tatooine—nothing but sand and boredom.
