 Steve Mount's Letter to Lucasfilm
Your use of the mark Tatooine as a location in a movie and as a descriptor for the various toys, figures, posters, books, etc., is not harmed by my use of the mark as an address.
At most, my use of Tatooine in Tatooine.com is as a service mark, which cannot conflict with a trademark used for products unrelated to the service; though USTPO has ruled that domain names are neither trademarks nor service marks; they merely indicate a location on the Internet.
Though it could well be asserted that Tatooine is famous in certain circles, the famousness of the mark Tatooine declines greatly when dealing with the general public, rather than that subset of the public who are fans of the Star Wars series of movies.

 Geology and Indigenous Life in the Star Wars Universe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The only really questionable aspect of Tatooine's geology and climate is that, with only a small amount of plant life, it's highly unlikely that Tatooine's atmosphere would have enough oxygen to support humans.
In the movie we can clearly see both of Tatooine's stars in the day sky and so the Tatooine solar system can be further classified as an external binary star system, meaning the planet orbits around the center of mass between the two stars instead of just orbiting one of the stars.
However, Tatooine's orbit would have to be very distant from the two suns to be stable, and 1.918 AU's probably would not be distant enough.
