Are we ever giving any indication that being a moisture Farmers all that hard? Other than the fact that they have slaves, I’m sorry droids, to do most of the hard work for them what do they actually do? I mean harvesting moisture is about setting up an apparatus and just letting it pull moisture from the air right? He maintain the machines is that right?
Well, it’s always easy to do a little of something. When you are producing as an actual job, then that’s entirely different. Scale is a problem in it of itself. “Just maintaining” machines is actually a lot of work.

I’m sure it is for the droids
Especially since we see them buy second-hand droids that are decades old. Or assembling their own from scrap.
Uncle Owen definitely pretended he really needed Luke’s labor
You could tell he was acting
Honestly Star Wars is a made up story played by actors. Change my mind
It wasn’t just droids either, Owen’s dad had human slaves as well.
Very true.
