He was at that age where you leave home and make your own life, often losing touch with your childhood friends in the process.

The use of the word daimyo keeps throwing me, given that everything else on Tatooine is based around faux-North African imagery.

Also Wild West.

Can't help but wonder if Like ever got nostalgic and decided to revisit Tattooween and his old friends.

Last time he was on Tatooine, somebody tried to feed him to a Sarlacc, so not maybe not. tongue

Luke's sentiment about Tattooine has always been "fuck this place," so I doubt it.

And now Rey is there out of the idea that she’s living up to his legacy. [lol]

Luke's Ghost: Ignore him, he does this a lot.

It's still a bit disturbing how Luke never references his brutally murdered Aunt and Uncle.

I wonder if Rotta might show up in this? You’d think he’d be Jabba’s actual heir, logically. Though given that Hutts age very slowly he might still basically be a kid by this point?

Oh I forgot about him.

Intentionally.

Would be interesting to see a tween Hutt.

Caught up to the show. I'm wondering to myself why this show isn't called The Book of That Tusken who whups ass every time she's on-screen.

The Tusken end of the plot was pretty sweet, if veering dangerously near to Mighty Whitey. The current end of the plot continues moving at a bit of a molasses pace but the Twins and the Mayor are both interesting characters and I'm looking forward to seeing their machinations.

I kind of just disliked how other characters acted around him.

Jedi who spend time at the temple should be good with kids given how young some of their younglins are.

And Jabba and his inner circle should know to take the child's safety more seriously and have contingency plans.

Bringing up that trope honestly doesn't feel right in this case.

It’s kind of a weird note since Temura Morrison is Maori and he implemented Maori culture within the Tuskens.

That's the main reason it's "dangerously close" and not "actually it", but undeniably the tropes are worming their way around there. It's a tightrope.

Call me crazy but if it doesn't support white supremacy, I think you can have someone learn a foreign culture and be better at it than the locals just fine.

[up] It doesn't help that, from what I've seen regarding the online discourse, the whole "Boba Fett tells a white saviour story" thing seems to be mainly another case of "white people talking over POC's heads again". :|

Wait what did she bury there again?

Was it Anakin's Saber?

She buried Luke and Leia's sabers, effectively as a final nod/funeral to close out their stories, while the two watch on with pride. "Luke's" saber in this case being Anakin's, since the current canon would kindly like you to forget Luke's second saber is something that exists.
