Tuskens are divided into 2 parties.
The "Get the fk off our land" group - as seen in the main movies.
And the "if you dont fk with us, we wont fk with you" group - as seen on Disney+
Great, now no one needs to watch the video. :(
I think they work by the same principle:dont mess with their territory. Even the tribe from Boba fett show were hostile, but they let Fett live because he was a worthy fighter
Wrong. They took Boba Fett as a slave. They went out of their way to "fk" with him, yet you weirdos somehow think that they aren't bad!
@@lukew6725 If someone invades your planet and kill your people, you wouldn't think the same. The humans and other species are raiding their tribes
It was obvious even in the old expanded universe that Tusken are a mixed bag. While there are cruel Tusken tribes that are outright hostile to outsiders, there are also tribes that are willing to work with outsiders: as long as you are respectable to them or somehow prove yourself, you'll have no trouble from tribes with such a positive outlook (Tusken always keep their word - a hostile tribe that has promised to ruin your day will do just that, while another tribe with whom you've reached an accord will not trouble you).
WRT the Rakata and Tuskens, what happened was that the Tuskens'/Jawas' ancestors DID drive the Rakata off world after the Rakata had invaded and enslaved the planet, but on the way out the Rakata nuked Tatooine's entire surface in retaliation, transforming it from the lush jungle world it originally had been and into the arid desert planet we all know and love today.
“I don’t like sand it’s course and rough and it gets everywhere.”
That should never be canon. Nuclear winters just don't go away, but I would imagine that the Rakata would have use antimater and maybe the Force itself.
@@Nesseight IIRC this happened something like 100k years ago, giving the fallout some time to dissipate. I also think the Rakata probably were using weapons that would leave reduced fallout compared to devices human beings have constructed IRL
@@Nesseight It was less "nuking" and more "Covenant Glassing" that did Tatooine in. They turbolasered the surface so much that the oceans evaporated away.
🤔 so they didn't just condense and rain back down, or form a thick blanketing and super humid atmosphere.
Tuskens are just cool. Can’t get enough of that awesome indigenous alien races lore.
_"I killed them; I killed them all. They're dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too. They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals. I HATE THEM."_
-Anakin Skywalker
You know he hates them because he thinks they are all like the raiders that killed his mom. Not all are like that, if you are respectful to them. But yeah, I can see how you can mistake their intentions at first. They are kind of harsh and not easy to understand. Even harder to tell the difference between tribes at first.
Considering those animals drove off the predominant player back in there day, the Rakata Star Empire (evil guys), that's kinda a compliment. And Anakin Skywalker having been unable to fight off one sith lords (evil guy) influence, ?As not an animal?, really says alot.
@@moguldamongrel3054 Technically, we're all animals. However, in all fairness, Anakin was young, and despite his aptitude for the Force, extremely susceptible to influence, especially that of a Dark Lord who evaded even the Jedi Council.
Ever since I saw them I was frightened of them, and they are truly frightening when attacking, but they are clearly just defending their territory like anyone would. I'm glad that The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett are exploring these interesting creatures.
I really like what they are doing with the sand people, some complain about the noble savages trope, but we've only ever seen them....from a certain point of view.
I mean, before they were definitely playing the violent ignorant savage trope, so there's kind of no winning there. And really, does giving them some depth automatically throw them into the "noble savage" trope?
"Sand people" is a derogatory term. They are "Tuskens".
@@theawesomeman9821 tell that to obiwan 😆
@@theawesomeman9821 they act like savages and want to ME to respect their names?? Tuh- not my Tatooine😒
What makes them 'savages'? Everyone is fighting for resources across the galaxy, so why are they savages for doing the same thing 'civil' sorts are doing as well? Even the jedi kill people, and from the outside looking in, could appear savage, what with their ripping children from their families never to have any familial connection again.
I'm glad that KOTOR's more nuanced portrayal of the Tuskens is becoming more of a standard in newer Star Wars media
The second episode really hit the spot in terms of a deeper SW narrative exactly what I feel Mando was missing. Genuinely shocked as I wasn't expecting much.
Agreed.
I would love to see, in the final episode of BOBF, Boba walking into Mos Espa ahead of an army of Tusken's a thousand strong.
That would've been nice to see. Damn
Imagine all the innocent slaves they would torture....
The 'torture' of prisoners i believe is not done for spite, but as a test. Life in the desert is harsh and anyone not born Tusken may be seen as weak. The treatment both Schme Skywalker and Boba Fett are perhaps the first stage in testing their survivability of the desert. The digging for black melons and stick training are lessons in survival and culture of the tribe. All this is leading to lizard/tree vision quest which signals one's acceptance to become part of the tribe. To grow and strengthen the tribe with fresh blood.
Their planet used to be a terrestrial type planet like earth 🌎 but some event turned Tatooines oceans into glass thus turned into a desert planet and the inhabitants turn to surviving in the desert and developing their culture. That culture became Tusken.
All planets are terrestrial,,, not sure ur getting the meaning right.
That event was the rakata
American ben has a type, can always tell when its one of his videos going up here :)
Haha, probably when something is "misunderstood" it's me. 😅
Underdog syndrome lol
I hope this comment doesn’t sound insensitive but I am curious how come we never see you appear in your videos anyMore. Generation films is stil my favorite channel. Only thing that sometimes gets me through the day lol
Feel my appreciation for many franchises grow
I'm pretty sure the tusken's are going to come to boba's defense when he's fighting the twins forces and I suspect the daughter of the chief will stay on with boba to "learn more about the tech users"(or some such excuse)making her not only another member of his court but become a competitor to fennec.
Defense? No. They are already part of his plan! Any city which does not fall in line will be placed under siege. Nothing in, nothing out. The Tuskens control the wilderness areas surrounding the cities. By proving the Tuskens the right weapons, the space ports can also be covered. Nothing in, nothing out. Complete seige
Not just a competitor...but a lover 😆
@@bernieeod57 "Episode 3"
Whelp so much for my idea. :/
I think the chieftains daughter is probably still alive as they didn't show a body so either she was captured by the gang(or pykes)or went after the attackers so maybe she will join up with boba later.
Still having a dozen tusken guards walk into town with him while he rode a bantha as a litter would have been so cool. :(
@@krisguntner4805 well Boba's tusken garb could win over another tribe to aid him as a daimyo.
@@BSM-vw6cf Yeah that's possible tho I think the tribal garb would just let him get close enough to start talking/sign language more then anything else.
The tuskens "seem"to respect mando's so that may work too.
Since he want's to ride the rancor obviously that is going to be his litter which I guess makes more sense since it's more unique then a bantha...but I like bantha's. :(
Some day I still want to see a tusken character getting away from his or her tribe and exploring the Galaxy. Perhaps on the Boba Fett's series itself.
Perhaps that young boy that Boba saves
There was a tusken jedi.I have read comics of it. Cant remember who or what era he lived.
@@MegaSubutay who later became a Sith, known as Darth Krayt and had such indivuals as Darth Talon under his Command and was killed a few times actually, second time recieving a blow from Luke's Grandson - Cade Skywalker, who is basically a Jedi that for a while left the Order, was a drug addicted pirate, returned to Jedi, proved to be able to ressurect people, Darth Krayt attempted to turn Cade to a Sith, Cade had a bedding time with Darth Talon while actually being a double agent who was really close to falling to the Dark Side, then injured Talon and murdered Krayt for good.
A'Sharad Hett. He was a Jedi master in the era of the Clone Wars, but he was a human inducted into a Tusken tribe
Maybe on a Bantha perhaps
Wasn’t all the tusken rider all boba met died by pyke?
I like how were getting even more lore now about stuff in the original trilogy :)
*DRAMATIC TUSKEN SCREECHES*
Seeing the Tuskens humanized in TBOBF and Mando has been such a welcome surprise, especially as an indigenous person. I'd like to think Tem had a hand in the development of the Tuskens for the show, given the haka-like dance at the end of Ep2.
it's fucking fantasy lol the fact that you link primitive hut dwellers (when others travel at the speed of light) that murder and kidnap civilians tells allot about how you see indigenous culture. Start to respect yourself
@@TheTokkie In the context of the show (and Star Wars in general) being a space western, it's clear what the Tuskens were intended to represent. Previously they were vilified and dehumanized, just as my ancestors were depicted as faceless villains in old Western films. The Tuskens may not be perfect beacons of morality, but nobody is. Better than going all out with the opposite "noble savage" trope. All I'm saying is, its nice to see indigenous cultures, whether in a space fantasy or contemporary fiction, finally see the respect they deserve.
@@davidbetters3458 These Tuskens are for the plot of ani to become evil and for Luke to lose his adopted parents. Why pretend that G. Lucas actually unconsiously wanted to insult native americans or was inspired by native americans?
Germanic, Celtic etc. tribes are also depicted as savages in every movie yet I don't assosiate some random underdeveloped aliens with them. And I don't assosiate them with native Americans either. Why should I? Because they live in tents? Hate to break it to you but in every continent you still find nomadic peoples living in tents from Europe to Asia and Africa, Americas etc.
Perhaps it is now a marketing stunt to pretend that G. Lucas was bad and now this new money grap is actually "progressive" because this and that yea don't fall for that crap sir.
Also every population of the world is "indigenous" you Americans are too self obsessed just use native americans that means all the diverse peoples that migrated to the Americas in different waves before the 1500's.
@@TheTokkie Alright man that's getting a bit tl;dr here and you're reading WAY too much into what I'm saying and finding issue where there isn't any.
I specifically mentioned in my first comment how there was clear Maori/Polynesian influence as well, especially with the Haka-esque dance at the end of Ep2. There's a reason I said "indigenous" as a catch-all rather than Native American or First Nations. No matter where indigenous people are in the world we have some degree of shared experience in the face of colonizers.
That said, the Native American/US frontier influences are pretty clear because that train scene with the Pykes shooting at Tuskens and Banthas is practically ripped from the pages of American history, when there were advertised "buffalo hunts" in which train passengers were free to shoot into herds of buffalo for sport as well as being a means to starve out the Plains tribes.
Not to mention, Star Wars is an American franchise in itself, so I'm not sure what you're getting at. The original trilogy took notes from contemporary US history, with the Empire being a clear stand-in for the American military in Vietnam (cough cough Endor) and George Lucas has even confirmed that much. It doesn't have to be a perfect 1:1 recreation in order to convey the general idea, and it helps the series feel more grounded, if anything.
@@davidbetters3458 My bad so they make things up about the Tuskens in this Disney cash crab. In the original star wars that wasn't the case. Yes you make a point that Star Wars is US made and in this new cash grab it indeed has inspirations from Native Americans.
I worried that you had a very negative image about Native Americans it's good that you don't!
But what have Polynesians and Maori to do with Native Americans?
Before the Dutch invaded Indonesia or the British invaded India the Mongols had already done that. By your logic that means Austrians, Rus, Hungarians, Iranians, Indians, Iraki, Kurds, Chinese, Indonesians etc. all can be grouped together because they have "shared experiences in the face of colonisers(Mongols)". Today states such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Iran, China, Tajikistan, Afghanistan are completly founded or still face consequences of that period so it's just as relevant as later imperialism. You have not more in common with Maori or Polynesians as Irish have with Indians or Turks (same language family and or same ancestry roughly 6000 years ago)
Also about the term "indigenous"
Before the Danes invaded Greenland the Tunumiit from Siberia had allready massacred the native Dorset. Hell the previous scandinavians were in Greenland before the Tunumiit came(900's vs 1500's AD). So who's the colonizer and who's the "indigenous"? The worldview and classification is problematicly illdefined and disregards the fact that people have been migrating and replacing and merging for 100 000's of years. We should be conscious about that.
I think Native Americans from north america is rich enough in culture to not be vaguely grouped to other peoples. It is considered ignorant and disrespectfull to group Greeks and Swedes in the same vague term "Europeans" as by doing so you take away the ethnical identity of Greeks and Swedes. Never group a Han Chinese with a Japanese, they will both be angry with you for that. So I don't like grouping all Native Americans from north and south into one vague group as they all have their own distinct culture from horse riding nomads to ship building explorers to city builders etc. with very diverse ancestry, language families, religion etc.
I got a big Dances w wolves from this episode. Really good chapter and great video on these desert dwellers!!
End of the season, Boba calls on the Tuskens to help him hold Tatooine
Hopefully
I remember from one ancient relic: Star Wars Commander.
A mobile game where you fight a guy who was able to unite several tusken tribes and created a small army.
Boba "Muad'dib" Fett organising a tusken jihad to reclaim Tatooine.
they speak with the color of the wind - tuskenhontas 2022
I really liked that throughout all of the times we've seen them, you can kinda tell it was a completely different tribe. For example, the Tuskens in Episodes I, II, and IV seemed to be connected to the canyons. Meanwhile, the tribe shown in The Mandalorian had permanent settlements, probably close to some type of water source. Furthermore, Boba's tribe were nomads of the Dune Sea, and thus used tents instead of huts
The Sand People are not misunderstood, but they are easily startled - and can return in greater numbers.
No, they are misunderstood and hated. Wich is messed up. They're the natives of Tatooine. Everyone else on Tatooine can get the hell off their planet
@@anymaru did you forget about the "raider" part of their name
Everyone gangsta until the Tusken's Kwisatz Haderach appears and summons Shai Hulud
Bless the Maker!
I liked this reference quite a bit. Thank you
I want to start a free protocol droids for Tuskens program.
DO 👏 THE 👏 WORK 👏
@ImmortalAbsol I too, love the Tuskens and where The Mandalorian and BoBF are taking them. I would totally go in on this "free protocol droids for Tuskens program" with you, haha 😂. I want to learn more about their culture so bad, especially the tribes that Din and Boba meet and are inducted into. It would've fleshed out and humanized them even more in BoBF if they were given names, especially the Female Warrior, the Chief, and the Boy. I wonder just how many tribes there are, and of those, which ones are more peaceful than others? It is hard to tell them apart.
Man now i want a Far Cry Style game where you play a Tusken defending your land from the empire
… why would the Empire care?…
@@Ragnarok6664 in my opinion at some point the empire just became Generic bad guy so thats reason enough ... lets just say our land has [rare ressource] and they want it
@@SuitorASMR maybe, was interesting back in kotor/swtor with the czerka corporations hiddens labs in the Dune sea and their grim experiments, I’d rather just see a survival game if so against the beasts, elements, outsiders, perhaps even other tribes..
It's not like the Empire doesn't have other planets. It's not like Tattooine has space-oil ( _melange_ )
On earth, some of the worlds most prosperous (in some ways) countries are ones that have always been dealing with harsh climates. Like up north in Europe were its cold as hell you have countries like norway and sweden which are doing very well on the global scale.
Or like on the Eurasian Steppe, which until the industrial revolution was a rough place to live gave birth the Temujin. Who later become Ghengis Khan and went on to establish the greatest empire the world has ever seen. And that started with him unifing the people so they only had to deal with the conditions and not each other. A great example also comes later down the line when after a few decades, mongols who had been raiding in wealthy and comparitivly nice places like china were becoming soft. Just fyi, the mongols who grew up on the steppe were some of toughest and greatest warriors in the world at the time. Its what allowed them to conquer the entire civilization of China, with a much much smaller army. So they actually had an initiative to send people back to the steppe and forced them to live in the harsh conditions so they wouldnt lose their peoples toughness.
Tough places to live mean that the people that have to survive there have to be tough, adversity makes you stronger. And no matter what they do, its always gonna be a tough place to live, so it just makes those groups of people more able to become prosperous. Compared to people living in much easier climates who dont have to deal with this stuff on the daily, they become complaciant and over time have less ambition to acheive as much. (Of course this is just a generalisation, but harsh conditions can come in many forms, not just climate and terrain, it could be from having many enemies (which led to the roman empire), etc).
I see a lot of similarities in the tuskans traditions to this sort of thing. They live in the desert, amongst all these great beasts and also pirates and people with much better technology. But because of this theyve had to adapt and become fearsome warriors. And because theyve stay in the desert with their minimal and non improving technology, all subsequent generations of sand people are just as tough and survive just as much. Yes they are a brutal people, but as weve seen they live in very brutal conditions. And if they choose to stop living in the desert and somehow integrate themselves into the settled societies, they will loose their toughness and ability to pass down knowledge on how to survive in the desert, which would lead to the end of their people.
It’s been said that one Tusken Raider became a Jedi.
Tuskens like to dance! They are very misunderstood and sensitive...kinda like a lot of Star Wars fans.
Getting lots of Raider content lately! Tusken Raiders in Star Wars and the Las Vegas Raiders going to the playoffs after a difficult season! Luv the channel!
ngl this channel in-universe would be so fitting as an educational program with an imperial background with their use of describing alien cultures as "primitive," "superstitious," "inept", and "not privy to modern scientific knowledge" that parallels older scientific and anthropological views of indigenous peoples in our worlds.
i interpret the recent fleshing out of tusken culture as reflecting a paradigm shift that many anthropologist hold today towards other groups as rich in tradition knowledge by recognizing our "modern science" is not the only valuable source of knowledge in the world.
to be frank, the line of this video describing the tuskens as in need of schooling to redeem their "savage ways" makes me shudder as even though it is obviously a fictional race i can't help be reminded of how many nations like canada, australia, and the united states in their misguided attempts to help the "primitive" left them further marginalized by forcing their views on them and excluding them from their own culture.
i hope we get more explorations of other species and cultures like this! these details further flesh out the world and it is fun to speculate and have fun!
This guy gets it😂😂🤗
Also france amd spain were very brutal and horrific in there own way left many countries in more poverty
Just think if we knew this information. When Star wars first came out. Great video and information. From Wheeling West Virginia.
🤗Thx for watching
What makes the sand people bandaged?
When did he first say Urk?
Why does he ask you Argh?
I think there is something deeper we aren't/haven't seen yet. Like an annual gathering/rondevu. To trade and exchange goods and news. We might or might not ever know.
So, if the Empire wants to troll the Tusken "economy", they can just knock some giant ice meteors into the planet.
the dance at the end of Ep 2 in Boba Fett was SOOOOOO GOOD, bet the Boba actor had fun. i could see him doing his tribal dance in the scene, you can see him saying the words in the scene.
I bet he does since he was the one who insist the idea to explore Tusken culture from his country New Zealand culture.
Doctor Raupata. Sometimes known as Jake The Muss.
I really like the Ghorfa. SWKOTR gives a good amount of info on them. Glad to see some of that being brought to live action tv.
The Tuskens seem very inspired by the Fremen in Dune. Tusken garments are much closer to how I imagined stillsuits than how they appeared in the Dune film.
In any of the adaptations so far really, the prop and costume departments really think these people have sophisticated injection molding machines when they should be crafting the suits out of local materials.
Kudos on the use of "ameliorate" in context.
Very interesting video, thanks for sharing!
The book Kenobe does a great job of giving one an inside look at why they dress the way they do and how a small tribe is governed and lead.
I guess having your planet glassed by the Rakata could be considered extreme climate change. Lol
Watch out, they "have machines too now" (2 or 3 bikes that didn't get wrecked). Maybe the Jawas can fix the train for them. Choo choo AY AY AY!
So Random question unrelated to this topic, but you guys do a fair amount of sci-fi videos so I'm wondering, who wins in a fight Master Chief or the Doomslayer. Or would you ever just do a video on Doom in general?
The issue with the Tusken Raiders or Sand People is that they've been written as cookie cutter generic bad guys almost the entire history of Star Wars. Even KOTOR, the first Star Wars media to even give Sand People any characterization at all, had them be hyper aggressive and even if you did talk to them they would attack at the drop of a hat. It's not even considered evil to get them to attack you after successfully negotiating with them.
Even stormtroopers had more variance and character than Sand People did. It wasn't until the Mandalorian that they were treated as anything other than cannon fodder bad guys everybody shot down by the hundreds on sight and they in turn with no sign they were anything other than unreasoning monsters. To quote another franchise: "They can't be bargained with, they can't be reasoned with, they don't experience pity or remorse, and they absolutely will not stop, EVER, until you are dead."
Maybe that will change, but it definitely feels like a bit of a retcon what Mandalorian did. Hopefully they'll work with Sand People a lot more in the future to turn them into something fully fleshed out for the first time in Star Wars history, and not just have it be a one note plot contrivance like it was in the Mandalorian.
Calling them cookie cutter badguys is a rather uneducated take. Offworlders bombed their lush garden world into the deserts we know today. They've lived as nomadic tribes for thousands of years passing down the stories by oral tradition. They know it was the offworlders who destroyed their planet and now it is the offworlders occupying their historical lands and stealing their precious water. In many ways we are the bad guys and they are the victims.
@@mace3632 The problem with the lore explanation is that the majority of people either don't know or simply don't care. And to be honest? I don't care much either.
The 'cookiecutter bad guys' statement is based off of the only media evidence outside of obscuria that people know. I remember fondly my childhood days of Battlefront 1 for the Xbox clapping Tuskens in the Sarlacc level while quoting 40k; at the time my only knowledge of them, like anyone my age, was Attack of the Clones. The Tuskens went from victims to bad guys the second they appeared on screen as them, that's all they ever were for a decade of Star Wars media.
Hell, I dimly remember there being a Jedi Academy level where you kill Tusken Raiders. They were as stock as Storm Troopers for a long time. Lore won't cut it here. It's all about the media.
@@aeldariambitions6334 They weren't so bad in the media you absolute bigot
@@mace3632 Umm, I think you should go back and read some , Anakin nursed a Tusken back to health when he was younger and they still tried to murder him.
@@Alexander-Craig0530 And that is cannon?
*excellent content very insightful and informative...geek cred confirmed and verified*
Do you think the red eyes behind the spiritual tree are their common ancester with Jawa's, from before the drought?
No drought, the planet was glassed by the Rakata
The jawas are descendants the sand people thrown out of the clans for consistent stealing. They suffered poor nutrition for awhile, hence why they are so small.
I Love the Sand people they are so cool i was pissed when Anakin killed them.
They are kind of rough. It is hard for gentle people to understand rough characters sometimes.
Humanity first!
Nice breakdown
Do tusken raiders and jawas remaind you of morlocks and elois from the time machine story by h.g. wells?
great vid
Wow & first 🥇! Wish for more SWTOR content soon
Good job (on being first). I’m fourth with this reply.
we get it, they're the taliban...
How do they smelt metal to make their weapons? Chokran
The Rakata changed Tatooine by preforming Base Delta Zero. Global Warming was not a factor in the ecology of Tatooine.
I assume the behaviour and standards of the Tuskens change from tribe to tribe. Some may hate humans to the core, others maybe just weary of them. Water is indeed a precious resource. It is unfortunate that Shmi Skywalker got caught in the middle of their raid. While their technology might be primitive, they are perfectly capable of learning to use gadgets like macrobinoculars or drive vehicles like speedbikes. Because of their isolation, they've never really tried trading at a market or hanging around in a cantina. They can relate to Mandalorians because like them, Mandalorians of the Watch never reveal themselves beneath their helmet or armour.
All this would be fixed if someone just exports a lot of water to Tatooine (well not everything)
@4:20 lol extreme climate change? U mean the rakata glassing the entire planet?
I see many similiarities with freemen's from Diune, but diffrent perspective of story
To be fair we’ve only seen them attack other people for decades until 2 weeks ago lol
@@patrickhenry1249 you’re giving me flashbacks of trying to fend them off with a gaffi stick and only having HK-47 as a back up… he mostly screamed lmao
They are similar to native tribes in north America I think.
I hope we get to see A'Sharad Hett.
What if boba were to unite all the tusken tribes
I mean the settlers of tatoine did colonize their planet with no care about the native people. Diplomacy, ethics everything else just kinda thrown to the wind. Naboo is a good example of colonists turning over a new leaf with the native population and learning to coexist but on tatoine no efforts were really ever made.
They colonized yes but they didn't attack the Tuskens. The Tuskens fired first and refused any attempts of communication made by the outsiders
@@brucejedilee5290 Exactly. The problem with the Tuskens is that they were the aggressors for pretty much the entirety of Star Wars history. They were treated as generic bad guys for so long that it seems weird that this changes in the Mandalorian.
@@immortalfrieza Actually I saw now a video that explained their history better. They weren't exactly the aggressors but the matter is complicated
@@immortalfrieza Their land was stolen from them as far as they are concerned. And they aren't exactly wrong to think this. Also, their hatred of outsiders isn't too hard to understand after what the rakata did to them. The Tuscan's have been passing stories down through oral tradition for countless generations...
Predator vs. Tusken raider. Crossover fanfiction writers, we need that. Please, someone with the talent, wright that story
their still dam cool though good vid enjoyed it
Thanks to your guide I scored myself a tusken wife, we are happy now with a children of 3 ❤
There was a Star Wars fighting game and one of the playable characters was a Tusken Raider called "Hoar."
4:56 Nationalism versus imperialism. Technically, General Leia's Partisan movement was also "nationalist" in that sense (but in a planetary sort of way). "Resistance nationalism" is the nationalism of partisan freedom fighters.
10:42 Notice that mirrored scene there. You can tell by Boba's sleeves. I find it insulting that we're expected to tolerate that in a Star Wars show.
Seems Lucas ripped off the Tuskens' connection to the land as a PART of the land, from Aborigines! Natya balya Bunjii!
They live on Tatooine for the most part? Where else do they live?
It seem the mandalorian and tusken easily get along
As long the mando aren't getting paid to shoot them 😅
Well to be fair,,, have you ever tried talking to one
Has there ever been a force sensitive Tusken ?
They also hold their history super highly and only a few sand people are allowed to know it to pass it down in a tribe(we learn this in kotor 1
They're a warrior culture that doesn't need technology
Ani's mom didn't belong to them
I thought that was interesting, I've been wondering why they don't show ther face , love to know what they look like 🤔
They are kinda like native Americans trying to survive
I think the Tuscans are an allegory for the native Americans
Or the beduin tribes of Arabia.
Tuskin Raiders are aggressive space Indians, case closed.
weirdo
@@starkyber3674 ???
so they're basically the fremen
They just want to protect what's theirs at least most of the time.
👍
Environmental shift on the planet was not due to "global warming". Rakata glassed the surface as a punishment.
they just wanna be left alone
The sand people are tatooween.
Sand people would have killed, enslaved, or left luke for dead had Ben Kenobi not been there to save him, and who knows what fate the galaxy would be left to.
Sand people are also a significant factor in Anakin's rise to becoming Darth Vader. They captured and tortured his mother. To death.
The first thing Sand People did when they found boba is chain him up and beat the crud out of em.
The beat the crap out of him
When he couldnt do anything to fight back against it.
Then proceded to drag him out into the desert to dig up *their water* while not being allowed any for himself while covered in scorching dry sand.
People who do that to other people as a go-to.... Are right to be misunderstood. It is not worth the sit down to understand.
It is barbarism.
Sand people are an unkind people and make dreadfully terrible first impressions as a rule and not exceptions.
We are not meant to empathise with them.
That was the point George Lucas was trying to make with them. They are a band of ill repute anticitizens to any civilized region of tattooine.
I think the thing with sand people is that they just don’t like strangers. They definitely do messed up things for sure. But it’s clearly possible to gain their trust overtime as we with boba
1: "After I killed the Tusken Raider I removed his mask"
2: "Well, how did he look?"
1: "Dead."
I don't remember exactly how it went, but something like that can be heard in SWTOR when you're on Tatooine.
Easy. That’s the way the writers wanted the actors to behave.
One could see why they are called savages after they murdered Shmi Skywalker, nearly killed Luke for exhisting, and now enslave their prisoners in the Book of Boba Fett. Nothing about these Sand People is noble!
I doubt you understand the bigger picture
4:13 I hope by "Extreme climate change" you mean continual bombardment and glassing by the Rakata empire.

Sure people who kidnap and torture and make slaves of others are just misunderstood.
Haha lightsabre goes bzzzzz
You keep calling them ignorant, but I think that's not really accurate either. Stubborn, potentially hostile, and extremely tribal? Sure. But they're not just mindless brutes.
Excuse me General Films, while they are ignorant and dumb, you have the respect the fact that they are traditionalists. They are doing what has been taught to them. Think of them as more like Native Americans (American Indians), who like the Sand People, have a deep connection and respect for the land and it's creatures. Plus, another reason why they attack outsiders its because they view them as barbaric and disrespectful for the land they call their own. As shown in Mandalorian Season 2 and the Book of Boba Fett, they keep their word, treat outsiders who earn their respect as one of their own, respect those who fully cover themselves and show courage and adaptability like every one else. Hence why Mando is able to learn more about the Sand People because he covers himself fully like they do.

Serves them right for turning on their Rakatan masters with insufficient planning. What's that bought them- 30,000 years of miserable repentance and probably no memory of how it got that way? If your enemy can leave, get beyond your reach, and then effortlessly glass your homeland, you need a better plan. Or the ability to steal at least some ships.
yes yes, hindsight is 20/20, too bad they didn't think of the monstrous act of glassing an entire planet of lifeforms
