A lot of the Star Wars universe doesn't make any sense, but fans will find ways to work around those things. The explanations are nested in a vast universe of Star Wars facts that get more ridiculous the deeper you go. Sure, this entire franchise has humor built into it, and you can enjoy the minutia if you don't take it too seriously.
ok i need everyone's personal favourite world-shatteringly stupid star wars lore decision that is small enough to fit into a single tweet. mine is that they decided famous han solo quotes were due to a near deific belief in beating the odds as enshrined in corellian culture

Twitter user yuuko from nichijou, also known as Jackson, is a Star Wars fan, but also has a snarky sense of humor. The vast universe of Star Wars has a backstory for every character, no matter how minor, and explanations for how a galaxy far, far away works in the most minute detail. And everyone has their favorite fact that is memorable for being so ridiculous. A megathread from a few days ago invited everyone share theirs.
THEY WHAT

There are 1,700 replies, including some from Star Wars itself.
Also in Attack of the Clones? A canon character with the surname Sleazebaggano.

But my favorites are those tidbits that try to explain why the Star Wars universe uses references from our world. George Lucas used plenty of common idioms in his original trilogy with barely a thought of how that wouldn't make sense in another galaxy. So later Star Wars tales took crazy tricks to make them work.
I have a friend who is a casual SW fan that, to this day, still brings up that line as an example of what he hated about the prequels. Me telling him to watch Clone Wars for this explanation did not help.

Lol they get all upset by normal species being mentioned like the galaxy isn't mostly full of humans and dagobah wasn't filled with normal zoo reptiles
