I get what you're saying. On a related note, I never understood why they tried so hard, torturously hard, to connect so many unconnected characters. Why, why the fuck, why in the name of all that is holy, did Yoda somehow know Chewbacca (in ep 1, I believe). You're right that George ran out of good ideas. I guess he was playing to the "omg I recognize them" crowd for the cheapest of thrills. Chewy has nothing to do with anything besides the millenium falcon.
