Wouldn't the empire figure that out? 2. Why would anyone want to live on a planet where they have to farm moisture? I'm sure plenty of planets exist that have plenty of water. |
1. You don't go looking for people you believe to be dead. Padme still appeared to be pregnant at the funeral. It's assumed that everyone was told the children died. The Empire had no presence on Tatooine and Organa easily could have falsified documents regarding his adoption.
2. Mining, perhaps. Tatooine is also a spaceport planet... think of it as a truck stop in Wyoming. A few people live around the truckstop, though no rational person can ever figure out why.
