That's what the scene implies. The whole scene makes no sense after the backstory that the prequels added.
The idea of the scene is that we, the viewer, have no idea what the force is yet. Just like character who learns the hard way. Because this is the first Star Wars movie and they haven't even started calling it Episode 4 yet.
A different user commented on the post, pointing out Kofsky and writing, “that dude on the right behind him looks high on something lol.”
PsychoticMammal then agreed with the user, writing, “Haha I didn’t notice that guy before. His eyes are def buggin. Maybe snorted some ole white girl beforehand? I’m sure half of congress rails lines.”
At least we finally understand where that rumor was coming from. You'd think when August came and went without Trump becoming President that would have been an obvious flaw with all the Q stuff.
The last time his teleprompter went out he went on a rant about how Harris would struggle without one. It's so dumb that I don't even feel smart for pointing out the obvious flaws with everything he's done.
One thing about Star Wars that is similar to westerns the film genre, but almost reversed, is that the universe is always in constant decline. Things are always worse than the generation before. So holding onto last generation's tech is a benefit.
Where in a typical western it's about the new generation replacing the old, the new tech replacing the old. A new railroad is replacing the horse. Star Wars exists in a place where weapons and armor can last generations.
Seems like it would vary based on how close to Naboo you were. The protocol droids like C3PO seem to be common everywhere, while R2D2 seems to be the rarer of the two, especially after the end of the Clone Wars.
We've seen droids are valuable, worth reprogramming, and last an incredibly long time. I guess they are better used elsewhere? Yet uncle Owen, a simple moisture farmer, can afford multiple of them seemingly on a whim.
Also the main place we are talking about there not being enough cameras is warships which lack space. I don't think battleships have anything like that today. Why doesn't the fully constructed Death Star in A New Hope have a fully monitored camera system? No idea. Perhaps Galen Erso managed to include that major oversight in his design. Along with the many other problems with the first Death Star like the vent shaft that destroys the whole thing.
