I mean the planet could just be further away, or better yet tilted at such an angle that it isn't accepting enough sunlight for proper water. Think how crazy it'd be to be standing on a frozen hellhole... but with two suns!

Reign on me.
What if there are 3 suns, and every hundred and x years everything lines up creating a long term eclipse of all 3 suns casting the planet into total darkness.

Then it’s revealed that beneath the surface lives a race of murderous creatures that are incredibly sensitive to light and are promptly released unto the citizens of this planet once the eclipse happens.

Luckily the Jedi carry lightsabers.

An outer rim world whose government fell during the end of the republic and never recovered that has fallen to lawlessness ruled by violent speeder gangs and the loan man clad in black driving the last of the police speeders who finds himself unable to escape his past or the suffering of the people.

Are you saying this planet is flat so that incoming sunlight would be affected by tilting it?

The angle the earth spins on tilts and this causes the seasons my man. When it's winter time and the planet is all cold it's actually much closer to the sun than it is during the summer because the angle the sunlight hits the planet matters a lot more with regard to how much heat is absorbed. In our case this matters much more than distance. Obviously star wars would know this and include it in its deep lore so I could have my double sun ice world.

It would be very unrealistic. Look at the other planets in the solar system:

Mercury - Sun-blasted stone hellscape
Venus - Hot hellscape full of sulfuric acid rain
Earth - many biomes (weirdo planet)
Mars - Cold red desert hellscape
Jupiter - Brown gas
Saturn - Beige gas
Uranus - Green gas (farts)
Neptune - Blue gas
Pluto - Ice
