Dantooine on TV
Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I've written a blog (not counting my random Christmas blog), so I've been searching for something to write about for some time, and this has been the best I've been able to some up with.

I just read a blog by Darth Mother, about Dantooine. It is clearly states (as I'm sure most of us know) that the Rebels had a base there before the start of Ep. IV, and clearly after Ep. III.

With all the hype of the new SW TV series, I'm surprised I haven't thought about this before. We all know (or maybe you don't, but now you do!) that 1 of these TV shows is going to be set between ROTS and ANH. I've always been interested with Tarkin's ANH line that Darth Mother commented on:

"You're far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote to make an effective demonstration. But don't worry. We will deal with your Rebel friends soon enough."

I've always wondered what Dantooine is like, and why the Rebels left if the Empire clearly didn't know about it. So I've been thinking, and I hope that the story of the Rebel Base on Dantooine will be told in this new TV series.

Yes, I know, this is a weak topic, but I'm eager to now exactly what is going to be highlighted in the TV series'. I just wanted to put this into words....

May the Force be With You.

Gov. Tarkin might say:

Dantooine is far too remote to make an episode out of.

Still, I'd be interested to know about this Dantooine.

It said in the last Insider issue when they are to come out. If I remember correctly, one is to come out in 2008 and the other one either in 2007 or in the same year...

Hm... that would be interesting. With the KOTOR games showing the Jedi Academy, I wonder if that was the actual base itself? It'd be neat, that's for certain....

Well, it comes down to other canon. The NJO went to Dantooine, where the Dantari (citizens of Dantooine) are all very primitive and use trade sticks and other small trinkets in a barter system. Although the TV show could show the Battle of Dantooine (when the Empire came and wiped out most of the civilization), so it would all depend on the timeline in which they choose to put the story.
