Historic Importance: Tatooine was home to Anakin Skywalker before he was freed from slavery by Qui-Gon Jinn. Jinn also came face-to-face with Darth Maul on Tatooine, signalling that the dreaded Sith order had returned to the Galaxy.
Years later Luke Skywalker lived on Tatooine. Shortly after Luke's guardian Owen Lars purchased the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, Luke met Obi-Wan Kenobi and fled Tatooine to join the Rebellion and become a Jedi Knight.
Throughout both the Clone Wars and the Civil War, Tatooine served as the Head-Quarters for Jabba The Hutt's crime syndicate, until the Hutt met his death at the hands of Princess Leia shortly before the Battle of Endor.
