Is it really so hard to believe a guy never met someone who only existed in tiny fractions of the galaxy 20 years before. I think its clearly a joke about people who are skeptical of religion (me).
It’s like asking storm troopers in the clone wars why would they shoot at a Jedi. They are people… Not droids. They made the logical leap a long time ago that the force is a fantasy and is to unlikely to exist, and by the time few of them saw it in real life… They couldn’t take back the first shot and were like… Fuck.
The main character farms water on a planet that is mostly sand, orbitting two stars. He trades with people who steal and refurbish scraps of metal, and gets shot at by people who ride around on giant buffalo like creatures that produce blue milk. I don’t think far away magics were taught in their education system when no one could perform them and his “uncle” only knows the religion as causing corruption and ending in the deaths of millions. Likely just thought of as fairy tales.
I’ve never met the Pope but people say he uses his special religious powers to turn bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ so they can consume it.
Right? And Han’s never heard of The Force.
Yea, I don’t think this George Lucas guy knew what he was doing.

I think it’s hard to believe the fact that magic is a real thing wouldn’t get around in a common galactic civilization.

I never said anything about meeting them. I’ve never met the Pope but I’ve heard of the guy.

I don’t believe that actually happens either.
George was good at story, not so good at worldbuilding, and he was only kind of good at stories by following the hero of a thousand faces archetype
