Would this be a weird 3-body problem, with wild erratic orbit? Would make seasons so unpredictable that living there would be awful. Never mind the Sand People, Hutt oligarchy and that big mouth thing that Han nearly fell into.
Luke’s home world of Tatooine was a desert world orbiting two sun like stars. This new world orbits far from two brown dwarfs that are “faintly luminous.” In other words both “stars” hardly give off much light or heat. Hence, this will be a very cold planet with little chance of hosting life or a decent spaceport even.
