Does it have hot brunettes in gold bikinis? Failing that, hot greengirls in mesh dancing outfits? 
Boo! This planet is only like Tatooine in that it's in a binary system. I was thinking they had found a planet that they had been able to tell has some kind of desert terrain or somesuch. They really had to stretch to make some kind of Star Wars reference out of this.

Pfft, you want desert terrain, we got Mars. The binary system is the far more interesting aspect.

If there's no Jawas, this planet fails.
But it's a planet that orbits a binary star, both stars, in an orbit about the size of Venus's with a planet the size of Saturn. That close, two stars and it's still -150F.

So the planet is nothing like Tatooine. This is what happens when you let Star Trek fans make Star Wars comparisons, and vice versa.
Heh, Wonderella had a funny tweet about Lucas adding a third sun just to screw around with the astronomers.
What more can be said about this one...
