If so, you might expect to see many desert worlds in the Star Wars galaxy too. Utapau looks like the odd one out among these because it has a semi-arid climate (or at least the parts we can see) instead of truly arid. FWIW, Tatooine has plants. You can see some scrub bushes in an arroyo in a scene with the sandpeople, and Luke drives past other scrub bushes in another scene. | |

The question made me laugh... Jakku = Tatooine plus a spaceship graveyard
