One of the funniest parts of A New Hope is when a guy starts mocking another coworker's religious beliefs until he's nearly choked to death mid-meeting, and no one seems to mind all that much

Nearly choked to death via an invisible hand, no less, and the rest of the people in the room all just look mildly uncomfortable/annoyed. Like if a kid started crying in a restaurant.

One of the most fun parts of the later movies is that it puts ANH at a point where the Empire and thus the destruction of the Jedi was at most 20 years ago.

I bet every other guy in that room had personally worked with Jedi in the past and was entirely aware of how exaggerated the stories of their abilities weren't.

There's mocking a co-worker's religious beliefs, and then there's being a goddamn anti-vaxxer to Jonas Salk. If Jonas Salk were also a top enforcer of a vicious autocracy and the deadliest duellist in the entire galaxy.
