Buzzards of the Wastelands.



Tuskan Raiders were ruthless, brutish things, that usually hid their ugly faces, even when among only a group of themselves.  They were predators, scavengers of the arid wastes, living on their gets, for good or ill, fighting, scrapping, stealing and killing: marauding in order to survive.

Anakin's mother lived on a moisture farm with a man that had bought her as a slave, but then freed her and married her(in that sequence?). 

Along come the Raiders and taker her away, raping and pillaging the old lady but good, plundering for all they would and damn near destroying the farm.

But from the stars, Anakin would come, and Anakin was not without unction, as an up and coming Jedi warrior, track her to a Raider camp, where he would draw his lightsaber and destroy the Raiders.  As he tearfully told his fiancee later, he killed them all, "even the women and children."
