warm light and cool shadow study and my notes from the Tatooine reading material

2 suns

harsh dessert land scape

significant amount of smuggler traffic

scattered with debris from burning ship, crashed fighters, and broken hulks of battle cruisers

orange-tan planet

stained and desolate

landscape altering sand storms

badlands of the junland wastes - rocky canyons mesa roamed by sand people and tusksn raiders

the caves house marauders and hermits

Mos Eisley is the planets only “big city”

wretched hive of scum and villainy

haphazard array of low, fray steelcrete structures and semidomes at the bottom of a wide , windy basin surrounded by bluffs.

casinos

business legal or otherwise is conducted in seedy cantinas near the docking bay

the city is a meting pot of sentient creatures of all sorts

stormtrooper outpost is considered a necessary evil

Anchourhead - a smaller settlement

moisture farmers trading point

HOT AND DRY

water is the most precious commodity

underground dwellings with water collection devices

prosectors search for water oasis's

a rich and varied ecosystem

dewbacks are used moisture farmers as beasts on burden

The B’omarr monks built the citadel known now as Jabba’s Palace as a monastery, now live in the lower levels as the then uppers have been occupied by outlawers.

Once the monks have reached the final stage of enlightenment they no longer have any need for their physical body so they get the lesser monks to help shed their body surgically. the enlightened brain is removed and placed in a nutrient filled jar, to spend eternity in undistracted perpetual thought.

The Brains are stored on in wall cases and can telepathically tell robotic spider like legs to walk them around when they feel the need for a stroll

Jawas travel through the dessert in search of salvageable crashed spacecrafts from centuries of warfare. Jawa legend tell of a huge old republic water tanker that sot-landed in the dessert but the crew all died from gas poisoning from the ship. A find such as this would make the jaws who found it crazy rich.

They set up portable smelters to break down valuables for easy transport

Jawas live in thick walled fortresses made from large chunks of wrecked spacecraft
