(Bonus for Ye Siyu from Jaluit Atoll for her two "big health" tips!)
Tatooine, located in the Arcanis star system on the edge of the Galactic Empire, is a planet orbiting a binary star system and the home of the Skywalker family.
Tatooine is a vast desert planet, its barren and desolate surface boasting a diverse range of terrains. The most famous is the Bygar Canyon, the terrain featured in the Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace race.
From afar, Tatooine's appearance appears golden due to the high sodium content of its sand. For a long time, this feature led many people to mistake it for a shining star. It was not until the invention of hyperspace drive that people were able to get close to it.
At first, people did not believe that life could exist on such a harsh planet. But in fact, due to its special position in the orbit of a binary star system, Tatooine has formed a stable climate.
Despite the dry and hot climate, with less than 1% of the Earth's surface covered by water, a complex and diverse range of species still thrives in this relatively habitable area of the Northern Hemisphere.
This also gave rise to a group of human immigrants who settled here. Or should we call them... a group of refugees and fugitives?
No matter which one it is, a barren place like Tatooine where no one lives generally won't attract special attention, making it a very suitable place to hide your identity.
Apart from the fact that life was difficult and they were often exploited by landlords and unscrupulous businessmen, everything else was pretty good.
The only dangers are the wild beasts and the sand people who like to rob people on the road.
However, these are not the most difficult things. The most difficult thing is that every time night comes, I will unconsciously recall the past that I wanted to escape.
Those painful pasts will constantly corrode one's heart, making you constantly exhausted and sinking into despair, and finally the light of hope in your eyes will gradually fade away...
【And I, Obi-Wan Kenobi, am one of those people.】
Ten years have passed since Order 66 was issued. Ten years can change a person greatly, even wiping out their former edges and desires for the future.
Although I informed all the Jedi survivors through the broadcast, asking them to hide their identities and wait for new hope. But where is the new hope?
The Empire's long-term hunt has resulted in countless deaths. How many Jedi Knights are left now? Am I... the only remaining Jedi?
I don't know. I really don't know. I suddenly feel lost. Where is this new hope?
Although I've heard of the existence of the Rebellion over the years, they're no match for the Empire and won't amount to anything. Without a force to counter the Sith, no matter how many times they rise up, they'll be crushed and extinguished by the Empire's forces! This...will only lead to more unnecessary sacrifices!
I sat at the cave entrance, gazing at the endless expanse of yellow sand. Sometimes I couldn't help but think: Perhaps, remaining anonymous until death wouldn't be so bad after all.
Anakin's betrayal, the killing of his own apprentice, the fall of the Jedi Order—every memory lingered like a nightmare. He withdrew his Force powers, buried his lightsaber, and adopted the alias Ben. He cut fish at the "Sha Seafood" slaughterhouse, a peaceful, ordinary worker.
However, is this really the kind of life Obi-Wan wants?
Hal is my coworker. Today, he was bullied again. He clearly had no fault of his own, but because of his humble status, he was deliberately harassed by the unscrupulous businessman, who ended up deducting a day's salary from him.
In order to avoid losing his job, which provided a livelihood for his family, he could only choose to endure it silently. This was also the result of the empire's oppressive policies, heavy taxation, and layers of exploitation.
Seeing him feeling wronged, I didn't stand up for him, because standing up for others would only bring trouble to myself.
Although I sometimes encounter the same situation, I can always make up for the loss. For example, I can secretly cut off a little fish meat and take it home as a snack for myself. Even if I don't eat it myself, I can use it as a reward for my mount.
Yes, I don't dare live in the city. Because there are always patrols of the Imperial Stormtroopers in the city. They will randomly stop people passing by and question and search them without reason. If you don't have an identity record, you will be arrested and killed on the spot if you dare to resist.
"I know full well that those who are captured will never return. They will be sold as slaves by the Empire. Their ultimate fate will be either death in the mines or imprisonment in cages in lawless places, becoming the excrement of dangerous beasts."
There's always a bit of shady collusion between the Imperial Army and the planetary governors. Anyway, no one cares about the lives of those at the bottom.
So, after work, I would ride my Pew back to my desert cave in the suburbs, away from all the people.
Today, however, I wasn't in a rush to go home. Instead, as I passed by a farmer's house, I secretly used a telescope to observe a little boy's every move. That little boy's name was Luke, Anakin's child and his own apprentice!
Luke was only ten years old at the time, and like his father, he had a keen interest in machinery and flight. He was climbing onto the roof of his house, dancing and gesturing, seemingly imagining himself driving a flying boat. His actions were adorable.
