Just watched the new Last Jedi trailer and I do believe that for the first time in any Star Wars movie I saw what appeared to be an actual paper book. Which made me wonder if people read long long ago in a galaxy far far away. I mean obviously the Imperials don't. Bigger Star Wars nerds than me, do people read?

I don't know for sure, but it stands to reason. Poorer people in general (just about anyone not working for either the Empire or one of the wealthier royal or business factions) might not easily be able to afford electronic/holographic versions. Also a good way to smuggle thin, light items or data

Actually not such a great way. You'd need a BIG book to smuggle a light sabre, and no book is big enough to smuggle Data (besides being the wrong franchise). The under-floor compartments of the Millenium Falcon would be better, or just use makeup to give him a normal skin tone and have him pass for a human.Quoth EricKei View PostAlso a good way to smuggle thin, light items or data

Interesting question. If the majority of the galaxy has gone electronic, a paper book would stand out like a beacon, drawing a lot of (possibly unwanted) attention to its carrier.
However, as EricKei says, if the majority of the galaxy's population can't afford electronics, then people ... er, beings ... carting around paper reading material wouldn't cause even the paranoid authority figures to give them a second glance.

Wolfie, you've got a seriously skewed mind. And that is meant as a compliment.
