George Lucas can do world building that's a kilometre wide and a millimetre deep.
So many things that hint at depth: space ship models that are dirty, droids that are both futuristic but also somehow junky. Quick turns of phrase that make something seem both alien and familiar, like "moisture farming". But, it seems like in all his world building he's never once asked himself "Why?"
