A People's History of Tattooine

Untold and misunderstood stories of racism and droid prejudice:

@harrisj What if Mos Eisley wasn't really that wretched and it was just Obi Wan being racist again?
Mos Eisley may not look like much but it's a a bedroom community with decent schools and affordable housing.
@tcarmody You can just imagine Obi-Wan after years of being a Jedi on Coruscant being stuck in this place and just getting madder and madder.
@harrisj yeah nobody cares that the blue milk is so much more artisanal on Coruscant
I also imagine Tosche Station as some sort of affluent suburban mall where Luke just goes to loiter when bored.
all I'm saying is that for a place he allegedly hates, Obi Wan sure knows exactly where the best cantina is
maybe what Obi Wan really hates is himself for having a good time and enjoying the cantina scene
@davin Old Sgt. Major Kenobi was this close to muttering "bloody wogs" under his breath.
Kenobi prefers the obliging company of droids which, long story, accounts in part for the Cantina's policy against them.
@fhwang You can't be mad at Obi Wan. That's just how all the Jedi talked back then.
@skottk Face it - Obi-Wan killed Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru in order to let Luke to sell his speeder for funds to leave the planet.
@harrisj and the Greater Mos Eisley Business Improvement District doesn't care about the rantings of a separatist hermit
@anildash You're all talking small potatoes. Big story is Palpatine's equity in Sienar Systems.
