After watching Star Wars 100's of times, literally, I think it is time we show our respect to the characters who saved the galaxy, albeit unknowingly. Who are those characters? Jawas. Had they not abducted R2-D2, then the little astromech droid would have never been in Luke Skywalker's hands, and furthermore, never in Obi-Wan Kenobi's hands. If the old Jedi hermit had not obtained possession of the plans Leia hid within R2-D2, then the rebellion would've never had Luke Skywalker as a member, he would've never received Jedi training, and no X-Wing pilot would've been able to destroy the Death Star and bring about the beginning of the end of the Empire. Another pilot, using the targeting system of the X-Wing, was unsuccessful in his attempt to deploy the torpedoes into the exhaust port of the Death Star. It was only Luke Skywalker, through the use of the force, who could accomplish that feat. If Luke never met Obi-Wan, he wouldn't have learned how to use the force, if R2 wasn't bought by Luke's uncle, Luke would've never met Obi-Wan, and if the Jawas didn't capture R2, Luke's uncle would've never bought him. Sure, C-3PO deserves some credit for suggesting they purchase R2 after the first astromech droid broke down upon purchase, but nobody likes C-3PO. Nobody. Since all of this took place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, then it's possible that without Jawas, we would be under the rule of the tyrannical Galactic Empire as their thirst for control would have surely expanded to other galaxies. On behalf of all the galaxies, Jawas, we thank you for your black market shady business dealings.
