It's an unnecessary aesthetic... see pic of Emily Blunt in body armour below. No boob plates required.

Well obviously. When your armour can't stop any weapons anyway, why take the risk that you could die from being punched as well?

Does that mean no human is meant to live? They're easy for Wookies and Gand to kill in a single punch.

I received the Holiday Edition last year and finally watched it this past Christmas Break.

What a horrible, horrible TV show.

So they're actually using some practical effects and there's at least some screen time on Tatooine?

I'm no prequel apologist, but the Pod race was one of the Phantom Menace's few redeeming sequences. It was also one of the few scenes that wasn't recycled from the original trilogy.

That said, I don't need to see another one, so yes, I guess I concur with the sentiment.

I can respect that. Different strokes for different folks.

I loved that scene when I was younger. Now I've grown up (a bit ) I can't stand Anakin's voice. Everything else in that scene is cool, but if I could just cut out Anakin's dialogue, it would be so much better.

I was the third horse, to the left.

EDIT: the only time we should see Tatooine is if:
1. Fremen appear riding freaking sandworms and start wasting the galaxy.
2. Someone glasses the planet exterminatus style.

You see a decent amount of them in Episode 2.

True, but it is them being murdered and if I can believe in the slim chance that they are ignoring the prequels then it won't count.

I'd like to know why they don't really like the others on Tatooine. I have to imagine it's something to do with the land being sacred and that they are trespassing as described in the first KOTOR game.

I'm not sure. In KOTOR it was said they themselves were from another planet, but we never get to see their faces.

That's all EU now though so anything is possible.
