Fearsome desert savages inhabiting
the rocky Jundland Wastes, Tusken Raiders, or Sand People as they are also
known, are the foremost reason Tatooine colonists do not wander far from their
isolated communities. Extremely territorial and aggressive, Tusken Raiders will
attack with very little provocation. They show no allegiance to even their
native world-mates and have been known to attack Jawa scouting parties on
occasion. They brandish a deadly bladed club known as a gaderffii and also carry
projectile rifles with which to shoot at passing vehicles. For transportation,
Sand People have domesticated the hardy bantha, a longhaired spiral-horned
quadruped also found on Tatooine. These nomads purposely travel in single file,
to conceal their numbers.
On the desert planet Tatooine, a moisture farmer named Owen Lars buys a pair of
droids named R2D2 and C3PO. He leaves the droids in the charge of his nephew
Luke Skywalker, but when R2D2 escapes, Luke and C3PO set out in a landspeeder to
find him, knowing that dangerous Tusken Raiders inhabit the area. They soon
locate R2 on the scanner and catch up with him, only to learn that danger is
nearby. R2 tells them that he detects several creatures closing in on their
location, and as Luke fears, the creatures are Tusken Raiders. They are quickly
attacked, leaving Luke unconscious as the landspeeder is raided for parts.
The Tusken Raiders flee at the sound of a vicious creature, discovered to be a
mysterious hooded figure approaching from across the desert sand. Once the
figure has checked on the fallen Luke, his hood is removed to reveal an older
bearded man. Luke awakens to see that the man is the local hermit Ben Kenobi,
who later reveals that he is Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Knight who had known Luke's
father and suspects a great potential for Luke to be strong in the Force. Their
chance meeting through this Tusken Raider attack would begin the series of
events that saves the Galaxy from certain destruction at the hands of Darth
Vader.
