Swiss artist Peter Gut puts animals in delightfully absurd situations! See a collection of illustrations from Gut's book Tierisch Unter Strom at Animalarium. Besides these penguins emerging from their thrill ride in a washer, there's also a lion working on his mane with a blow dryer, a snake marrying a vacuum cleaner, an ostrich hiding her head in a hairdryer, and zebras popping out of a toaster (Zebras testen die Katapultkraft der Toastmaschine), among others.

The frontier aspect was also important. There are planets run essentially by criminal cartels, like Tatooine, because the Empire was unraveling at the seams. Such uncontrolled areas are the breeding ground for revolution.
Make a movie or sell toys? Post-cinema marketing is everything today, and so characters and extras are made to be easily translated into a line of action figures. The movie becomes a vehicle for selling stuff to kids, and is diminished. It is a gigantic product placement.
It also works this way for making money, so it's not likely to end.
