Tatooine .... I am your father!


Urrr... what the devil are you getting at. The existence of two suns (not
"sons") implies nothing about the number of planets spinning around it.

In any case, the Imps discovered Dantooine to be the former site of a rebel
base. The rebels would never shack up in a system with inhabited planets.
She obviously chose Dantooine because she needed to come up with a plausible
sounding (i.e. remote and inhabitable but not inhabited) system in a matter
of seconds, and the easiest way was to choose a planet that the rebels had
thrown away previously.

A friend of mine say that when Moff asks Leia in Star Wars where the Reblel
Base is, Leia says "Tatooine".

I say Leia says "Dantooine". Is there a differance? Does she say Tatooine?

Please post.

Thanks!

What leads you to believe it is in the same system as Tatooine? Perhaps
the sun or suns of the Dantooine system are called Dantoo or Dantoo 1,
Dantoo 2 (if it is binary system).

All we know for sure about Dantooine is that it is a remote system
(yes, so is Tatooine, but we do not know if they are both in the same
solar system).

Your friend is wrong. In the movie and the novelization, she
says "Dantooine". (However, IIRC she says "Tatooine" in the
Marvel comic.)

>I say Leia says "Dantooine". Is there a differance? Does

She says "Dantooine". It's a different planet from Tatooine.

I think it is amusing to note that tattoinne
is the actual name of the filming location in Tunisia.
Anyone see the end of the X-files movie?
