Damn straight.

One of my most vivid memories was maybe 1 1/2 months from launch, my second day I think it was, doing a mission from Mos Entha to Wayfar, by RUNNING. Vehicles were months away yet.

Here I am with barely any skills running across Tatooine trying to work around every red dot on the radar as if they were the plague, running for maybe half an hour.

About 2/3 into the run, it's just turned to nightfall, and a sandstorm comes up.

The sky almost turned completely black and you couldn't see 2 feet in front of you. The wild is howling, and you can see debris flying.

Such a simple moment, but so incredibly immersive it felt like you were there.

Then after it cleared, to approach Wayfar only to realize it was practically next door to Jabba's Palace as it loomed up on the horizon. Awe-inspiring is the only thing that begins to give it justice.

Or dawn as the twin suns rise... Special times indeed.
