As a counterpoint, we do have some frame of reference in the movies. Decades pass between Phantom Menace and Return of the Jedi, but Tatooine society hasn't changed a bit. |
4,000 years ago on Earth, writing was a clever bit of magic that a few sages in the fertile crescent and North Africa were experimenting with. We've gone through a few changes on planet Earth since then. Technological stasis okay, I can swallow, but that amount of time and you'd think that something would change in terms of patterns of settlement, culture among the sand people, what constitutes an "Outer Rim" as opposed to a civilized world, or, hell, at least the architectural styles of Tatooine structures and town layouts.
But nope, all the same.
