Isso é coberto pela novela júnior do filme.
- Tatooine está fisicamente longe do Império
- Tatooine é governada pelos Hutts que provavelmente não receberão uma presença substancial do Império no planeta
- Tatooine já está maculada pela Força (devido à associação de Anakin com o planeta)
- Eles simplesmente não têm opções seguras dados os eventos recentes
“To Naboo, send her body,” Yoda said. “Pregnant, she must still
appear. Hidden, safe, the children must be kept.”
“Someplace where the Sith will not sense their presence,” Obi-Wan
said.
“Split up, they should be.”
Bail Organa raised his head. “My wife and I will take the girl. We’ve
always talked of adopting a baby girl. She will be loved with us.”
Hidden in plain sight, Obi-Wan thought, and nodded. “What about the
boy?”
“To Tatooine. To his family, send him.”
Remembering that harsh, dry planet, Obi-Wan winced. But there was
nowhere else, and Tatooine was a world on the margins — the Hutt crime
lords who ruled it had never been part of the Galactic Republic, and
they would keep their distance from the Empire as well. “I will take
the child there, and watch over him,” Obi-Wan said. He looked at Yoda,
wanting reassurance he knew Yoda could not give him. “Master Yoda, do
you think Anakin’s twins will be able to defeat Darth Sidious?”
A romanização oficial também oferece algumas outras razões;
- A criança precisa ser criada em um ambiente amoroso.
- Viver em Tatooine oferecerá a Luke a oportunidade de crescer em um ambiente semelhante ao pai, aprendendo a resistência física e emocional.
Bail stood, a little jerkily, as though he simply could no longer keep
his seat. His flush had turned from embarrassment to pure
uncomplicated joy. “Thank you, Masters-I don’t know what else to say.
Thank you, that’s all. What of the boy?”
“Cliegg Lars still lives on Tatooine, I think-and Anakin’s stepbrother
… Owen, that’s it, and his wife, Beru, still work the moisture farm
outside Mos Eisley …”
“As close to kinfolk as the boy can come,” Yoda said approvingly. “But
Tatooine, not like Alderaan it is-deep in the Outer Rim, a wild and
dangerous planet.”
“Anakin survived it,” Obi-Wan said. “Luke can, too. And I can-well, I
could take him there, and watch over him. Protect him from the worst
of the planet’s dangers, until he can learn to protect himself.”
