        All relevant books were rendered noncanon when Disney bought the property, so it doesn’t matter.

          Who gives a fuck what Disney considers canon?

          I mean, yeah, a lot of people do, but they shouldn’t.

    My favorite nitpick in the phantom menace is in that scene.

    In the Cinematic release, and I think the VHS release as well, the Tusken raiding party here is using Slugthrowers, a weapon primarily only used against Lightsaber wielders since it can’t be deflected like a blaster bolt.

    When it was re-released for DVD it was changed to a Red Blaster bolt. Personally, I think it makes more sense for the Tusken people to use slugthrowers, since they have access to everything they need to make gunpowder on Tatooine (guano from caves, hydrocarbons from the black fruit sugar), but to attain blaster gas they need to trade with the Settlements, something they prefer against.
