Tatooine /ˌtætˈn/ is a fictional desert planet that serves as the setting for many key scenes throughout the Star Wars saga, appearing in every Star Wars film except The Empire Strikes Back, The Force Awakens, and Rogue One. Being the home of both Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker, it is arguably the most iconic planet in the Star Wars universe; and the shots of Luke Skywalker gazing at a Tatooinian sunset are arguably the most famous images of the entire saga.

Tatooine orbits two main sequence binary stars and it has three moons, Ghomrassen, Guermessa and Chenini. Its G-type twin stars (Tatoo I and Tatoo II) heat its surface, making water and shade hard to come by. The planet's indigenous lifeforms—such as the Womp rat, bantha, Sarlacc, and Krayt Dragon—are well-adapted to its arid climate, but human settlers often become moisture farmers and live in subterranean dwellings in order to survive. The planet's lack of resources, brutal heat, and decentralized population have made governing the planet nearly impossible.
