It's well known that Star Wars was inspired by the films of Akira Kurosawa, in particular The Hidden Fortress, which tells the story from the point of view of the two least important characters. George Lucas wanted to achieve the feeling he had when he first watched Kurosawa's movie in that he didn't understand the culture and history but followed the human element. That's why he spends no time explaining how the universe actually works. This ultimately was the reason that so many people felt the movie was fast-paced upon release, because the audience was trying to catch up to what was happening in the background.
