Jundland Wastes

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

- Obi-Wan Kenobi

The Jundland Wastes is a region of rocky terrain located on the planet Tatooine. Unlike the Dune Sea, which is a veritable sandswept desert, the Jundland Wastes are a series of hills and canyons that are home to several nomadic species including Jawas and Sandpeople.

In 0 BBY, the astromech droid R2-D2 ventured through the Jundland Wastes when he was attacked by a tribe of Jawas. The diminutive scavengers incapacitated the droid and fitted him with a restraining bolt before loading him into their giant sandcrawler.

A short time later, Luke Skywalker ventured into the Jundland Wastes in search of R2-D2. Several Sandpeople ambushed him and would likely have killed him had it not been for the timely arrival of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
