Hmmmm, okay, interesting. Weird conversation that is then but okay. Still doesn't make it less weird that the planet that "farthest from" the proverbial centre of the universe is basically the key to the fate of the universe.

How would that make it less weird?.. I always figured Lucas did that because it's sort of a small-town kid dream..

It's just a bit incredible to believe that Tatooine is a meaningless planet. Every time something happens, people run to Tatooine. That's all, not that I care.

It was certainly implied in ANH that Tatooine was a place where nothing ever happened. I guess they had quickly forgotten the days when it was a major pod-racing attraction.

Indeed..... indeed.

Nothing happened around Luke and where he lived, I think it is more Lukes personal feeling of the place rather than the reality of Tatooine. Seems to me a lot happens in Mos Eisley

yeah, alot that you don't wanna know about.

😄

No, really. Even OB1 said it was remote in TPM. And offworlders are called "outlanders". That definately says something about a out of the way planet.

Regardless of any logical re-interpretation you can do NOW, the point of it is that AT THE TIME we were clearly meant to think that NOTHING had happened on Tatooine ever, and that's why Luke was hidden there.

Not that there is any problem in him changing that, but the point stands.

still think its only Lukes personal opinion, Mos Eisley seemed pretty action packed

it might be a geographical thing, tatooine might be nowhere near corusscant, thus making it miles from anywhere. although if maul could sense the queen on tatooine, why couldn't vader sense his offsprig on tatooine.

Indeed; so clearly Maul could NOT sense the Queen.

he must have sensed something or did he just guess that the ship had landed on tatooine.

How Maul knew how to get to Tatooine is still a debated point, but we have no reason to think it was Jedi senses. And plenty to think that such a thing is impossible.

If he could sense her, he wouldn't have needed his probes. He just knew she was there.

no, he probably had a rough idea that she was on the planet and sent the probes to find her, hence sidous's comment about her not vanishing for the sith. why is senseng a jedi impossible, luke sensed vader, vader sensed luke, vader sensed ob1. doesn't seem to impossible.

But only ever at close range, and only because they had met before. Neither of which would apply to Maul in that case; saying he could 'sense' the Queen from that range is ridicilously powerful and not credibly in line with the rest of things.

and so maul knew the queen was there because?

they knew the ship had dificulties, that allmost every planet was controlled by the TF, and that the only planet nearby that wasn't controlled by them was Tatooine...?

I told you. No-one knows how Maul tracked them. It is one of TPM's omissions that people discuss. But it is absolutely NOT because Maul csn somehow sense where anyone is anywhere in the Galaxy! Nuts!

I think they picked up on the Naboo signal to the ship
