It would seem unlikely that the All Powerfull Empire would have to scrounge up local transport, but on the other hand a Star Destroyer doesn't seem to be an ideal environment for the (...)

| (...) Dewbacks being local is more logical than Banthas. After all, lizards are good at adapting to desert conditions. Hairy animals not so good. (...) Indead - they are as big as an elephant, with no savannah grasses or trees to snack on to keep up (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jul-04, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

| (...) Well, for a possible in-story explanation, if they didn't have a regular garrison there (and it's implied that they didn't), they might have had the same trouble adjusting their speeders and such to desert conditions as the Rebels did (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jul-04, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

Hair is protective against abrassion from sandstorms, from the extreme cold experienced at night or during the winter (though Tattooine, being a predominantly desert ecology, probably doesn't have much in the way of cold (...)

Playing Star Wars Galaxies, there are two benefits of the Dewbacks versus speeders: 1. Hostile creatures can't flat out and quickly (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jul-04, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)
