Comment on Clueless about Biology
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoJust gonna point out that Tatooine used to be green and blue then the ancestors of the Jawa and Tusken did a slave revolt, the Rakata took offense to that so they made it glass.
Atleast thats true for legends and I frankly dont give a fuck what Disney has to say.

Speaking of which, there’s actually a fairly compelling theory that Tattoine is the human home world in Star Wars. We know a few things about the origin of humanity in Star Wars, but it’s all from the time humanity was an unimportant slave race to the Rakstan Empire. We also know Tuskens are later biological descendants of humans that genetically split after the Rakatans fell, and that the Rakatans directly raided Tattoine for slaves, meaning Tattoine was at least one source of original flavor human when it was still a relatively minor species in the galaxy.
The other in-galaxy option is Coruscant but honestly that’s kind of boring. It’s also quite far from Tattoine so it’d be weird if Tattoine was just some random human colony.
And the technically movie-canon answer is Earth and humans are an exo-galactic invasive species but that’s not as fun.

Honestly I go with the Exo-galactic refugee hypothesis kinda like the Vong for the majority of humans but that there is also a native human population in the galaxy as well. Though the reason for humanity’s supremacy in star wars has to do with the Pius Dea, which to summarize were basically when the Republic went full Imperium of Man and started purging xenos.

Wow, that’s a wild bit of history to casually drop as background details in a book about Darth Plagueis. I guess it explains where Palpatine got his idea of humanocentrism as a control mechanism from though.

It makes sense that a lot of lore is just kinda dropped, you aint gonna be making references to the 4th crusade unless it comes up vaguely.
