  • I think everyone, OP included need to step back and realize that Star Wars is a corporate product, not a philosophy/religion/political way of life. (Yes, yes, I know about muh Jedi religion). From the first movie, Lucas had toy sales in mind even before the movie was completed. The “world building” was designed to maximize the number of toy action figures and vehicles. Ironically, one of the reasons Disney has failed with SW is that they neglected the toy designs. There is no need to do free advertising for Disney or become their evangelical missionaries.
















  • It was an inside job. Obi Wan paid the Sand People to kill the Jawas and Luke’s auncle and aunt so that Luke will follow him to become a Jedi. Remember, the Sand People thinks Obi Wan is a mythical monster/god.

    > but but Obi Wan is a good guy!

    No! Obi Wan has shown in the Prequels to be a sly manipulative guy. He justifies everything by “looking at it from a certain point of view”. He lied to Luke about Vader too. He’s also not above mind controlling " weak minded" muggles. All the pieces line up. Wake up banthaples!
