I don't remember where I read it, probably the novelization, but it was
suggested that Obi-Wan was immitating the scream of a Kryat (sp?) dragon
which would be something the Sand People normally run from. Obviously

return in greater numbers."
Now that I think of it, if Anakin wiped out the whole village, then who
would have been left to know it was a Jedi who did so and start a legend
about it? I wouldn't guess that Sand People are worldly enough to identify
lightsaber wounds and make the Jedi connection.
