    So if someone said they intentionally murdered all of a tribe, you wouldn’t consider it genocide?

    Sand people is more of a word like Native Americans.

    So it would be like if he went and intentionally murdered all of the Cherokee because the actions of one/some Cherokee.

    Sure he didn’t hunt down the Seminoles afterwards, but the Cherokee have their own culture and beliefs.

    As for the Jedi… His orders were to kill everyone of a certain religion. He stated with the younglings and then spent over a decade hunting down anyone who escaped.

      It’s more like he murdered all of a single Cherokee village. Still awful, but the Cherokee nation still exists.

        I suppose if we will compare fantasy to reality to Wookiepedia we go

        "A nomadic culture,[14] Tusken clan groups consisted of 20 to 30 individuals, and were led by clan leaders, tribal chiefs,[7] and warlords.[8] Tuskens traveled in single file to hide the number of individuals in their party.[15] The culture of different tribes varied greatly, with some surviving by killing outsiders, while other tribes used more peaceful means.[7] "

        The description of his onslaught had over 2 dozen huts, where “I…I killed them. I killed them all. They’re dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children too. They’re like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals.”

        I would draw from that information that they had varied cultures, and he slaughtered one indiscriminately.

        Thus completely wiping out their tribes culture, and of course the individuals as well. I’m not sure how that wouldn’t fall under genocide.
