Blasters and turbolasers being about as fast as a thrown stone is another ridiculous point. They have "slugthrowers", they know about solid projectiles, and thanks to ewoks we know that stormtrooper armor ain't shit against rocks and sharp stocks. Presumably the entire galaxy, other than Tuskens and sometimes Mandalorians, decided that carrying ammo around wasn't worth it. Whatever, it kind of makes sense for small arms.
But space! Use one of those hyperspace drives to launch a modest plasteel rod at relativistic speed from the absolute edge of sensor range. No need to get anywhere near the turbolaser batteries. Small ships should be for boarding/anti-boarding exclusively.
Maybe the problem is that everyone in Star Wars is super racist. We know that druids are a slave class of sapient beings with no rights and we know that Tuskens are feared and/or reviled by most that know of them. So maybe nobody wants to benefit from working guns or computer minds because of the association.
