Well, technically…Tatooine was not a member of the Republic.

Imperial fluids

Luke, do you realize that in addition to blueidating milk, why, there are studies underway to blueidate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, water… ice cream. Ice cream, Luke, children’s ice cream. You know when blueidation first began? Eight Teen Bee Bee Why, Luke. How does that coincide with your post-war clonie conspiracy, huh? It’s incredibly obvious, isn’t it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious imperial fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That’s the way your hard-core clonie works.
Yeah the metaphor doesn’t really work with Star Wars’ electoral system, the candidacies, or Owen Lars’s specific opinions/role. Maybe Nute Gunray saying “The war is over. Lord Sidious promised us peace” and then immediately getting killed is a more apt leopards-eating-face scenario.
The fact that each planet elects their representatives in different ways definitely fits the US though

I just realized he’s the guy who plays the main character in Dark Matter (2024)

He was a slave (or just sold his kid/nephew into slavery?) way before Palpation rose to power, and wasn’t even in the same republic/empire.

You seem confused about Owen.
Owen is Anakin’s stepbrother. His father bought/freed/whatever’d Shmi after Owen’s mother died, and neither had anything to do with Anakin’s slavery.
Tatooine does get annexed back into the Republic/Empire shortly after the events of the movie iirc. In old canon it was always part of the Republic so people get confused on the status a lot. I think the current canon is that was part of the Old/High Republic and had slipped out into Hutt control at some point.
Now Owen was a slave holder, he owns several droids on his metaphor for a frontier farm in the middle of Manifest Destiny.

Thx for the info!
So Anakin lived with his mother, who wasn’t a slave, and neither was Owen - but Anakin was?
And yes, I just assumed the planet was always under Hutts, but the lore def got expanded, which is always nice.
Bit of a strained metaphor, seeing as Amidala was actually anti-war and not a fan of genocide. Libs in the Star Wars Universe would be calling Amidala a separatist droid.

But Owen was a slave owner…
In retrospect the Star Wars galaxy is pretty fucked when you think about it.
Same as a conservative, Owen’s just lying about his actual goals, the continuing 1000-year genocide of the Tuskens and protecting his slavery backed holdings.

Obligatory Star War News because I love this move and the showdy.
This is brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
Pug?
Why would a Tatooinian farmer be voting for a Naboonian senator?
