The characters can't spare so much as a line wondering about ends and means?
No its all a bit odd. But I've been thinking about this and I suspect that the naivete of the protagonists and the story as presented in the films is one of the reasons the fandom is so successful. You're always left wondering a bit "why?", "But don't they realise?" and so forth. And all this wonderment leads the way to fic and meta.
I find it interesting that one of my favourite shows, The Wire, has virtually no fandom. People will rave about it and talk about how good it is - but because it is so good then there are no cracks and oddities that the fans can play with. So maybe one of the strengths of SW is that it is at times very flawed?
