Part 4/12:
In A New Hope, Tuskens are depicted as hostile, violent, and mindless savages—aboriginal inhabitants responding to outsiders with hostility. Obi-Wan Kenobi, who has spent decades living on Tatooine, describes them as "violent species who move in single file to hide their numbers," emphasizing their fearsome reputation. Their technologies are primitive—slug throwers instead of blasters—which underscores their resistance to technological influence and their religious categorization as zealots.
