    This is one of my pet peeves - so you have a HUGE universe to work with, thousands and thousands of interresting planets, anything you can imagine. But no, because of callback$ and reference$ we’re getting to the same planets over and over again, even to Tatooine which should be by its purpose in the story forgetable, boring, a planet everyone overlooks

      I mean, Tatooine comes up more than other planets in the movies, but it’s not actually all that strange.

      Tatooine is where Luke grew up, in the farm of his uncle and aunt. Which immediately ties his father to that place in some fashion. Or you would have to explain why Owen and Beru chose to move there, which seems much more difficult.

      Han Solo is there trying to work things out with Jabba, which doesn’t go well at all, but does explain why we go back to Tatooine for a third time in RotJ: that’s just where Jabba lives.

        I feel this way about the Clone Wars animated series. Lots of people dismiss it as being just for kids, or hate it 'cause ‘Snips’, but it did more to bring me into the lore than the original trilogy.
