The planet Jakku's terrain is a desert landscape
Planetary deserts were characterized by sparse vegetation and minimal rainfall, resulting in arid and often inhospitable environments. These regions were typically dry and desolate. For example, on Tatooine, sandstorms posed a threat to the inhabitants, leading some to become moisture farmers, extracting water from the ground. The planet Jakku also featured a desert environment. Both Tatooine and Jakku are known for their golden tan sand. Er'Kit and Geonosis represent other planets with significant desert regions.
The concept of deserts was first presented in 1977 with the release of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, showcasing Tatooine. This marked the initial appearance of deserts and the first climate introduced in the franchise. Filming for the Tatooine scenes in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope took place in Tunisia.
