Jundland Wastes/Legends

"The Jundland Wastes are not to be traveled lightly."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi

The Jundland Wastes were a dry, hot, and rocky region that was located on the desert world of Tatooine, between the Northern Dune Sea and the Western Dune Sea. This remote area largely consisted of a number of canyons that wound their way around a number of large mesas and was situated near the Dune Sea. The nomadic Tusken Raiders and the Jundland Waste Womp rat inhabited the area and in the native parlance, "Jundland" meant "No Man's Land". Several layers of rocks within the Wastes were tilted indicating graben formations. They also contained magnetic deposits which obscured sensors.

During the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, the Jundland Wastes were effectively split into two different territories. The region to the north of the canyon known as The Wound, including Dreviad Outpost, Outpost Salara, Outpost Largona, and Espelar, was allied with the Republic, while the southern region, including Mos Anek, Outpost Rennar, and Outpost Varath, was under Imperial occupation.

Anakin Skywalker would later massacre a Tusken Raider village here, and decades later, Luke Skywalker would first meet Obi-Wan Kenobi here after being attacked by Tusken Raiders.

Behind the scenes
The real-world location for the Jundland Wastes is Sidi Bouhlel in Tunisia; the resulting film stock was edited together with pick up shots from Death Valley in California.
