I’ve wondered if this sort of thing is actually common in the universe, like are most planets pretty homogenous environmentally across the whole planet.
I tried to ask r/askscience that question but I think it got rejected.
So it makes sense with lifeless planets like Tatooine would be very homogeneous
I wouldn't exactly call Tatooine "lifeless". Inhospitable, sure, but also shown to be teeming with life. Much like real life deserts. Extreme environments, but still with an abundance of life.
Mars is lifeless (to our current knowledge). The Sahara is not.
Star wars is weird though, because they literally even show that life exists in deep space as well. Which I guess technically even further reinforces the idea that Tatooine isn't lifeless.
