Tatooine

Tatooine was a desert planet located in the Tatoo binary star system of the galaxy’s Outer Rim Territories. Distant from the jurisdiction of the Galactic Republic and the succeeding Galactic Empire, since the Old Republic Era the Hutt Clan claimed rulership over the planet and its population, including moisture farmers, the various rogues present in the spaceports of Mos Eisley and Mos Espa, and the native Jawa and Tusken Raider peoples. Though considered relatively unimportant by many throughout the galaxy, it was the homeworld of two individuals significant to galactic history: Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, who at the end of the Clone Wars turned to the dark side of the Force, eradicated the Jedi Order and served as the Emperor’s enforcer in his Sith persona of Darth Vader; and his son Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, who fought in the Galactic Civil War and redeemed his father back to the light side of the Force — thus heralding the fall of the Empire and the rise of the New Republic — as well as co-founded the New Jedi Order, training a new generation of Jedi.
