Saga How is gravity so consistent?

Whether people are walking on terrestrial, Earth-like planets and moons, or on a spaceship/space station, gravity's pressure always seems to be very consistent throughout the Star Wars galaxy. How is this? Even if we terraformed Mars, I think we'd be walking around the planet in a way much different than that of Earth, because we would weigh less there and would be able to jump considerably high, ect. If we're walking on a terrestrial planet slightly larger than earth the gravity would most likely make us weigh a little more, not being about to walk or jump as easily as when on Earth.

 

Same reason there's sound in space and the Jedi pretty much use magic; it's not science fiction, it's fantasy with superficial sci-fi trappings.

 

they are usually on earth like planets and on ships they have artificial gravity.

 

Real world answer - it's much easier to film here on Earth than it is to on the nonexistent planets

In universe answer - not my line, but in order for SW to fail at science, it has to try. It doesn't really

For example, given what we know (or knew of in old EU anyways) Hoth, it should have approx. 30% Earth's gravity. Let's not even get into Bespin/Cloud City, ideas of artificial gravity maintenance aside

 

Actually (if the same density as Earth) the 7200 km diameter Hoth would have around 55% Earth gravity.

If even denser, its gravity could be even higher.

Similarly, the low density of gas giant planets (which vary considerably in density) - means that Bespin could have close to Earth-normal gravity, if it's one of the less-dense ones.

That said, these workarounds have limits.

A good example of a planet that needs artificial gravity to work - otherwise it would have to be denser than osmium, the densest metal - Starkiller Base - only 600 km in diameter.

 

They control gravity. You stick to floors, Cloud City can hover, ships can hover etc. There is no reason whatever devices they use can't be used on worlds. In fact now that I think of it one of the Incredible Cross Sections books mentions as much in the Senate Chamber section.

As far as Mars goes, the only reason the Apollo astronauts hopped around was because the bulky suits made walking in the lower gravity more difficult. They found it easier to hop.

 

Saturn is also Bespin's size and has "surface" (top of clouds) gravity only very slightly higher than Earth's.

 

Fantasy.

 

Answers like "fantasy" and "magic" are lazy, unsatisfying answers. I don't think there is magic in the Star Wars universe. The force, I understand, is a natural phenomenon from the galactic center. It doesn't require violating the space time continuum or slight of hand.
