- "What a desolate place this is."
- ―C-3PO, upon arrival on Tatooine
Deserts were planetary regions covered almost completely in sand that received little precipitation. They were dry, desolate, and often harsh regions.[1] On Tatooine, sandstorms proved dangerous to local populations,[2] and some citizens worked as moisture farmers to pump moisture from beneath the desert floor.[1] The planet Jakku also contained a desert.[3] Another example of a desert planet was Er'Kit. While Tatooine and Jakku have beige sand, Er'kit has red sand.
