Rygho Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Because Fort Tusken, which the Sand People will eventually raid and occupy, doesn't exist yet. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Fort_Tusken "Fort Tusken was a settlement on Tatooine that was founded 100 BBY. The fort was abandoned in 95 BBY, after three years of attacks by the Sand people. This incident resulted in the term "Tusken Raiders," which thereafter was used synonymously with Sand people."

AlexDougherty Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Because they were always known as both "Tusken Raiders" and "Sand People", even in the first film, in fact Obi wan Kenobi called them "Sand People" when he chased them off.

Wolfninjajedi Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Because that is their actual name, Sand People, Tusken Raiders comes later on. Edited February 20, 2013 by Wolfninjajedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
