Tatooine
Planetary Background and History
Tatooine was a desert planet located in the Outer Rim Territories. The planet was part of a binary star system. Due to the lack of surface water, many residents of the planet instead drew water from the atmosphere via moisture farms.
Tatooine was the homeworld of Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One, and his son Luke Skywalker. Anakin's former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, also resided on the planet after the Clone Wars ended, going by the name Ben Kenobi. The Hutt Clan maintained a presence on Tatooine as well, with Jabba the Hutt owning a palace in the desert.
Tatooine gained the notice of the Empire during the Galactic Civil War when an escape pod carrying two droids in possession of top-secret information launched from the starship Tantive IV and landed on the sandy Outer Rim world.

For AoA canon, what happened after Jabba's fall on Tatooine? Are there more Hutts controlling slaves/crime/smuggling there at present, or did their presence on Tatooine end with Jabba?
Jabba's Palace was literally wiped away about 30 years ago. There's a plateau of rock and debris where the palace used to be. The under levels are still there, but they've suffered cave-ins and the corridors are mostly untraversable. Some pirate gangs have infiltrated the under levels over the years, but they never really stay very long. Currently there is a massive Tusken Raider village at the foot of where the Palace once was, they've moved in there because Jabba had setup functioning water systems that they've repaired and are utilizating now.
There are no Hutt lords on Tatooine right now and have not been for some time. The average Hutt does not look at Tatooine and see a profitable endeavor. Jabba was often looked down upon for even bothering with that world.
The average Player Character, likely doesn't know the name Jabba the Hutt either. He died 30 years ago.
