Hey if you prefer “imagination work” to “thinking,” don’t let me discourage you. But I did easily as much sweaty rationalization as you did.
I prefer fantasy creations that have some internal consistency and don’t overstrain credulity in service one of super obvious on-the-nose effect. When I can hear the author grunting with effort trying to horrify me, it ruins the horror.
You prefer your fantasy that happens in other worlds to be more grounded? It’s amazing how boring this world view is.
I will allow authors to take me on a ride and I will fill in gaps where needed. Frankly I have no reason to believe a Sarlacc in this world does any of that, how did the people in the star wars universe figure that out? Maybe it reads more like a boogeyman legend about a creature the Hutt’s use to execute people. I might add that our only in world evidence is boba fett getting out of one, not super scary. I’m just adding a bit of my own spice to the world because it’s been left open to me to do so. That’s fun!
Imagination and thinking are the same thing, you have to think to imagine What an unusually dull world you inhabit!
