I suppose you might have a point about Jar-Jar - I don't know the context well enough to really tell.

Regarding Tuskens, I just fast-viewed the movie and Obi-Wan doesn't really say much about them. He says they're easily scared [by his Jedi tricks], that they ride behind each other to hide their numbers and that the're not precise shooters [compared to the Empire]. By all those hints, you can see a civilization that's not very technically advanced (which is understandable, given that they're living in the desert), possibly supersitious but efficient enough in their way of life. But through all six movies, we don't see anything of their culture (beside the fact that they live in tents), because they're always seen through the eyes of the other Tatooine inhabtants, with whom they compete for the little that the desert gives them. Do they have legends? What games do their kids play? Maybe they love music? We never really find out, and it's that disregard that makes it easier for Anakin to murder them.
