History
Tatooine was a desert world located in the Outer Rim Territories in the galaxy far, far away. According to the Legend of Lehon, the planet was once covered by lush jungle and had been the domain of the Kumumgah but an unknown event caused it to become a desert world.
During the reign of the Old Republic, the planet was noted to had gone under the control of the Hutts. A prominent Hutt crime lord on the planet was Jabba the Hutt.
After the Jedi Purge, Obi-Wan Kenobi came to take the newly born Luke Skywalker with him to Tatooine where he had the child live with his uncle Owen Lars.
Boba Fett later returned to Tatooine where he went to Jabba's Palace that had since been taken over by his Majordomo Bib Fortuna. The bounty hunter then killed the crime lord and take his place as the new crime boss on the planet.
After the final defeat of Emperor Palpatine, Rey took the lightsabers of both of her instructors namely Luke an Leia Skywalker where she took them to the Owen's farmstead. She then buried the two hilts beneath the sands by the farm as a grave marker. During this moment, a traveller said that it was good to see someone at the abandoned farm and asked Rey her full name to which she decided to go by Rey Skywalker.
