Hero of Tatooine was a title bestowed by a Rodian hermit upon an anonymous spacer who demonstrated heroism while performing several tasks to help the people of Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War.
In 1 ABY, a spacer who explored a cave on Tatooine encountered a old Rodian hermit living there. As both agreed that the Galactic Empire had brought darkness to the galaxy, the hermit proposed four specific tasks to the spacer that would allow them to become a hero through helping the inhabitants of Tatooine.
The spacer then completed the four tasks, displaying intelligence to deduce who was the target of a puzzled bounty hunter, honor by refusing to be corrupted by pirates, courage by killing a ferocious bladeback boar, and altruism by assisting a moisture farmer by rescuing his family from the Sennex slavers. After all tasks were completed, the adventurer returned to the hermit who declared them the Hero of Tatooine. He awarded them with four "trophies" — the Mark of Intellect, the Mark of Honor, the Mark of Courage, and the Mark of Altruism — that formed a unique spherical sculpture, and the Mark of the Hero, a ring which was believed to be able to bring its bearer back from death.
