It’s very obviously a big hub. Like a port somewhere on Earth which is away from the centres of political and economic power but a major hub for its region. Like Maputo. Or Colombo. ---

I like how they wanted a “darker” voice. JEJ nailed it! ---

Tatooine is a part of a major trade route, home to a powerful Hut, and a place with basically no laws. Lots of stuff goes on their. But Luke was basically like a farm hand in the outback that has no idea what Sydney is like. Another thing to remember when it comes to the Star Wars universe is that everything is binded together by the will of the force. I believe that for whatever reason Tatooine is an important planet in that regard. ---

Luke specifically said “bright center.” I always interpreted “bright” to mean “positive,” like in “look on the bright side.” Luke wasn’t saying that nothing ever happens on Tatooine. He was saying that life on Tatooine sucks. ---

Prowse did not mind playing Vader after the first movie so I guess he did not hate Lucas that much. ---

I’m still guessing Qui-Gon will show up as a ghost in the final episode and we will hear him say(this time talking about Luke), “Like I said before, my young padawan. You _must_ train the boy.” Final shot of the season is Qui-Gon disappearing and Obi-Wan looking over again at young Luke. Credits. ---

I loved Part IV. Tala playing up her status as a double-agent. Leia steadfastly refusing to tell the Third Sister anything, even under threat of torture and possibly death. Obi-Wan turning out the lights and doing an Ahsoka-in-the-fog-like battle with the two Stormtroopers. Obi-Wan using the Force to keep the window from fracturing for as long as possible. A woman mourning her fallen compatriot whom we hadn’t gotten to know, showing how _everyone_ is important and no lives are expendable in this conflict. Superb. ---

It was weird seeing the snow speeders stop on a dime in mid air. ---

T-47 Speeders are used in a variety of environments. We just saw them in snow first. ---

And they didn’t work great in that environment, either - Han had to take a tauntaun out to look for Luke because they were “still adapting the speeders to the cold.” ---
