A People’s History of Tattooine

In the same vein as the Zinn/Chomsky Lord of the Rings commentary is A People’s History of Tattooine, a Twitter conversation that Jacob Harris kicks off thusly:

What if Mos Eisley wasn’t really that wretched and it was just Obi Wan being racist again?

Some other highlights:

“more civilized time?” Check your privilege, Obi Wan

the Tusken People. Raiders presumes some malevolent intent

all I’m saying is that I don’t blame the Tusken People for steering clear of the racist, violent and armed old man

like anybody forgets what Luke and his friends did to native womp rat populations at Beggars Canyon Park
