Here is how much of a geek I am.

In star wars, Ben Owen (the guy who raised Luke) worked on a farm. No disgrace with that, very noble. What kind of farm you may ask? Moisture farm. Hey, we all need moisture, it is the very essence of wetness. Ok, so Ben has a farm, and he harvests moisture. But Ben is struggling. He wouldn’t let Luke (free help) leave because he couldn’t afford to hire other people. Fine.

Here is the issue. Ben lives on a friggn desert. If he really wanted to make some decent money, why would he have a farm on a desert that grows the only thing the deserts are known for not growing? You ever go to a desert and say, boy I wish I could farm all the moisture in this air, I would be a millionaire. No, Ben was the only one who said that, and eventually he was killed, just another tale of a man with a dream, and no matter how stupid it was, he was going to do it. It only cost him his live and his wife’s.
