    Are we ever giving any indication that being a moisture Farmers all that hard? Other than the fact that they have slaves, I’m sorry droids, to do most of the hard work for them what do they actually do? I mean harvesting moisture is about setting up an apparatus and just letting it pull moisture from the air right? He maintain the machines is that right?

      Man, just existing on Tatooine is hard work.

      -It’s a desert planet run by crime lords.

      -The natives carry rifles and kidnap people just to torture them to death.

      -There are little goblins driving tanks around the countryside stealing anything that isn’t sand.

      -The sand is rough and coarse and irritating and it gets everywhere.

      -Krayt Dragons

      Well, it’s always easy to do a little of something. When you are producing as an actual job, then that’s entirely different. Scale is a problem in it of itself. “Just maintaining” machines is actually a lot of work.
