Tsuken Raider - Blog Posts

“I did research on the culture and environment of Tusken Raiders; I researched [the] ‘sand people.’ That is what Luke Skywalker calls them, ‘sand people.’ Anyway, my goal was to avoid ASL (American Sign Language); I made sure it became Tusken sign language based on their culture and environment.”

“We kept it really simple in terms of the hand shapes that were used. When the Tusken sees the Mandalorian, this is the sign: using this flat hand shape, it outlines the gaps in the Mandalorian’s helmet.”

— TROY KOTSUR, the deaf American actor who developed the Tusken sign language and who played the first Tusken Raider to use it on-screen

TWILIGHT ON TATOOINE

We have experienced multiple oppressions.

Neither dogmas, nor riches, nor machines have subdued us!

Although it is sometimes hostile, we are in

harmony with our environment.

Intuition, Instinct, Faith, is the Force that guides us!

Solidarity is the Force that unites us

We are the TSUKEN RAIDER,

We are the FREMEN ,

We are the Spirits who ride the hot desert winds.

We are free men !!!
