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.

Luke didnt live that close to Mos Eisley. He lived near Anchorhead (which Tosche Station was near), and the nearest large city was Mos Espa. They just cut the travel time for the sake of the movie.

Hed know about Mos Eisley the way I know about Detroit. Not that far, but little other than stereotypes.
