Some ancient locals probably DO remember that podrace ("Dad won enough money to buy his freedom AND Mom's off that ONE bet!") -- and are probably constantly suggesting to Owen that Luke is the perfect size to start podracing like his cousin. Luke sneezes and it's clear to them he's got the reflexes, and they know someone with a training pod....

The bookies are probably making late night visits to the Lars homestead telling them that Luke is not allowed on the podracing circuit, all the terrible things the Lars can expect if they dare, and dropping sacks of wuipupi as they leave.

Owen and Beru, being Tatooine locals, quickly start fleecing the bookies -- they were never going to enter Luke into podracing, but the bookies don't know that.

Comany name? [redacted] "the company" and you know that all lowercase is spite

MB repeatedly complains that it's the cheapest flimsiest made unit, the Temu bot. But it's rental was probably really expensive and it and every other SecUnit we see is extremely high performing

1 line about how Ratthi is extremely popular and everyone seems happy. There's just an ever rotating cast of hookups and flings in the background that Murderbot is desperately trying to not notice.

For that matter polyamory seems to be the societal norm and you know there's polyvule drama happening that MB is erasing it's memory about.

In the second novella Perihelion is a complete mystery to MB, it's mostly just intimidated and like "ok this is my life now". Where as in Network Effect and "Rapport" we see that Peri is utterly enamored with Muderbot, it think MB is the best thing to ever happen.

MB has 0 self awareness and doesn't really know much about SecUnits or contructs in general it just contantly projects it's own feelings and opinions onto everyone else. Every other contruct is the series acts counter to what MB says.

For that matter it projects onto humans too. Murderbot has the emotional intellengence of a rock. It hates and fears itself and so projects that into believing everyone else fears it. And most humans don't. I'm not even talking about the hippie commune Preservation people, some of the rando Corporate Rim tertiary characters and Mihira and Tidelands people aren't particularly afraid of MB.

Also one of his jobs would 100% be in the porn industry but he's working either in the sound dept or editing or some other behind the scene thing. No matter how many times he says that he's just does lighting or whatever, no one believes him.
