Why did the Imperials track the Rebel blockade runner in hyperspace?
—The Rebel blockade runner had a malfunctioning hyperdrive motivator which left a traceable energy signature.
Why didn't the Imperials shoot down the escape pod with R2-D2 and C-3PO?
—A new policy tied promotions to kill ratios, so shooting down an empty escape pod would have damaged the Gunnery Captain's ratio.
What do Jawas look like under their hoods?
—Jawas are furry with remarkably ugly rodent-like faces.
Why didn't Uncle Owen recognize C-3PO?
—C-3PO was just another mass-produced protocol droid, and Uncle Owen had no reason to think it was the same droid he owned before.
Why didn't Obi-Wan mention knowing R2-D2?
—Obi-Wan didn't want to jeopardize Leia's secret mission, so he acted as if he didn't remember owning a droid.
