But wouldn't you find it a bit strange if, for example, Luke had a pet labrador? It wouldn't really fit in... humans are the only characters in the movies who look like anything we would ever see on earth, all the other races and characters are completely different... it just isn't very believable that it could really happen, that's all. I mean, do you seriously imagine that if you travelled millions of light years away to a far distant galaxy you could meet a race of beings that look -exactly- like we do who are called Humans? It doesn't bother me because there are plenty of thins in the Star Wars universe that aren't supposed to reflect reality; and the fact is, it works... but it doesn't really make logical sense.
