But there's a particular stomach-turning horror to his act now, especially after the franchise has repeatedly worked to humanize the Tuskens since 2002. It's always been appalling to watch Anakin slaughter an entire camp of Tuskens (not just the men, he famously points out, but the women and children, too). But recent Disney+ shows like The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian have taken a more nuanced approach to Tuskens, showing them not as a murderous monolith but as a complex society made up of individuals, which makes Attack of the Clones so much more uncomfortable. Historically, the franchise has taken a shallow view of Tusken Raiders, portraying Tatooine's indigenous population as cruel, barbaric savages whose only goals are to kidnap and kill. It's also worth noting that some parts of Clones simply haven't aged well - thanks in part to Star Wars itself.
