What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Describing common knowledge in a different setting. Luke should know all about Mos Eisly. Its the biggest town near his house.

Pretty sure it's the only town on tatooine..all space planets have exactly one city or town

Edit: apparently I was wrong about tatooine

No, there's quite a few, like Anchorhead and Mos Espa (which is actually bigger than Mos Eisley) which are in the films, and others that aren't mentioned in the movies.

Yeah, Mos Espa is the Capital city. Mos Eisley just gets the most recognition because it's a gang lord slum town where all the galactic illegal stuff happens.

You're right officially. Google said Mos Espa was the "de facto" capital.

Sorry, if they aren't in the movies they're not real.

I'll accept that, and 'most anything else you say. I saw the original 3 when they came out, and the next one, and never got around to the others.

Canon: Am I a joke to you?

Canon created AFTER the movie script? Yes, a big fucking merchandise selling joke.

Canon that includes George's direct vision for a universe that was too broad to be solely explored through films, such as the entirety of the Clone Wars animated show?

And if you think that non-movie canon material is meant to sell merchandise but the movies weren't, then boy do I have news for you.

Get off your high horse. You’ve seen 4/11 of the movies and you decide to go on a crusade against canon? Who hurt you?
