On a side note, though, I think they should add suns and it's something I noticed the first time I played, especially since there is no lens flare (which would rule).
I can't say I was happy with the Tatooine suns at all. They look far too similar. Looking at the shots in Episode II, it appears that one is a primary and the other a blue giant (though the official starwars.com database has them listed as being both yellow stars). Even in ANH it gives the impression that one of the stars is much cooler than the other. Anyway, when I first walked on Tatooine, I expected the two suns to be a bit more distinguishable from each other. I also expected the sunset to be a lot more spectacular. Though time of day drastically affects the sky color, it appears to have no impact on the color of the suns. In a game where they obviously put a lot of effort into making some beautiful landscapes that actually rival pre-render terrain generators, I was pretty dissapointed by the lack of color shifting at dusk & dawn. (yeah I'm being nitpicky and it really doesn't matter, but it would've been nice)
