Come on guys, SW isn't even remotely "hard" SciFi - it is and always had been a Space Opera. And I stand by that even though EP4 is my second fave film of all time. :)

 

You're not meant to over analyse it. Not everything has have a watertight backstory and for pity's sake stop asking for everything to be explained!!!

 

I love films where its like you have just walked through the door into a story part way, and you just have to accept the "universe" for what it is. In EP4 Han Solo could say he did the Kessell Run in less that 12 parsecs in his "peice of junk" and you just had to accept that without knowing what it was, how he did it, why it was so important or why it's even relevant when a parsec is a measure of distance, not time. I saw Mad Max: Fury Road a few days back and loved that too. Completely bonkers, explains pratically nothing.

 

Mr. Lucas freely admits that the entire SW saga is aimed at children. He says its "not his fault" that adults love it too. :) However for me EPs 4, 5 and (to a certain extent) 6 were films that could be enjoyed on an adult level, whereas the prequels were more childISH. EP7 marks a return to a more mature approach.
