The Star Wars series is really easy to follow, and George Lucas set the whole thing up so both kids and adults can enjoy watching the films, but as simplistic as the storylines are they still leave the viewers with a lot of questions.
Why didn't Anakin just jump down next to Obi-Wan instead of trying to leap over him? Why was there ever a Jar-Jar Binks?
And why was baby Luke sent to Anakin's home planet instead of somewhere safe and hard to locate on the other side of the galaxy?
Comic stripper JHALL has wondered about all of these things too, and even though he doesn't provide any answers he does give voice to our thoughts about the series in the most sarcastic way possible!

He was the anti-Yoda. A powerful Sith-master who uses strange grammar.
Hubris. It's the downfall of the hero, the aspect of their character that turns them permanently into a bad guy.
"Why was there ever a Jar-Jar Binks?"
Merchandising. Same reason the cursed Elmo exists.
Why give Luke the name Skywalker? It was the first movie! They still thought Han died in the second! I mean, no one knew if there would actually be a sequel, much less prequels and off-main storylines.
