    I don’t think he’s supposed to have designed it or anything. I think it’s an existing model, and he just scrounged for scrap to put him together. It’s basically the thing he’s known for as a child. His pod racer seems a little more unbelievable, right?

      Not that he couldn’t have put together a droid, but that he put this very specific, very integral-to-later-events one together himself. It’s ludicrously coincidental.

        Hence why star wars is a chosen one, hero’s quest, prophetised fantasy. Not a Sci fi.

        When you and your kin are all prophetised to do important shit, there is no coincidence. it’s all part of a bigger divine plan of fate. Or it’s the midi-chlorians or something I dunno, I slept through the prequels.
