That's one of the things I like about SW, the combination of the fun kid-movie feel and often dark and creepy things happening that aren't really explored.
I could not agree more. I think that is one of the strengths of the Sw 'verse - that is all adventure and excitement at first glance, and then there are these really creepy, very disturbing flows beneath. I sometimes wonder if Lucas realizes this, or if he still thinks its all just fun and games. I'm inclined to believe the latter based on how obvious he does evil in Revenge of the Sith. After all he doesn't need to make the emperor that obvious with the distortion of his face and so forth. His talk with Anakin at the opera is evil enough. You get that this guy is bad, bad news.
Also yes, Bail had to be a master at that type of subtlety. And a Beru and Breha thing would be for the win.
