    star wars isn’t a utopian society, though. lukes family can’t afford or won’t spend the money on a droid that could do all the work for them. or the might be supply issues on tatooine - they buy c3po and r2 off jawas, after all.

      In The Phantom Menace they didn’t even use Republic standard currency on Tatooine. I don’t think it’s a stretch to assume that they don’t have access to all the most advanced technology in the galaxy.

        That had chattel slavery. Which suggests they didn’t rely on a mechanised workforce.
