Tusken Raiders first appear in Star Wars (1977). Early on in the film, a party of them attack Luke Skywalker in the Jundland Wastes and knock him unconscious. However, just as they are going through Luke’s landspeeder. Obi-Wan Kenobi frightens them off by imitating a Krayt dragon’s mating call and rescues Luke.

Tusken Raiders briefly appear in Episode I: The Phantom Menace, taking shots at the Boonta Eve Classic podracer pilots. Then again in Episode II: Attack of the Clones, set 22 years before Star Wars; in this film, they kidnap Anakin Skywalker‘s mother. Shmi Skywalker, and torture her for a month. Anakin eventually finds her, but she is mortally injured and dies in his arms. Furthermore, Seized by a violent rage, Anakin slaughters the entire tribe out of revenge, including the women and children.

This, referenced by Chancellor Palpatine in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith to justify Anakin’s reasoning for killing Count Dooku, and after he says it. Besides, a faint sound of the Tusken Raider’s braying calls is heard in Anakin’s mind as he ponders. In Star Wars Rebels Season 3, Episode 20, a group of Tuskens attack Ezra and Chopper when they land on Tatooine to look for Kenobi, successfully destroying their ship. However, Ezra and Chopper escape and the Tuskens killed by Darth Maul.
