or "sitting ducks" or "exqueeze me"? How is this amusing?
Because, compared to those other things, it's actually reasonably subtle and clever. It's not something that everyone will immediately recognise.

you could of said that the first time. or maybe its called the invisible hand cause it has a cloaking device.
I explained it in my second post. And while it's not impossible that there's some other reasoning behind the name 'Invisible Hand', that would be rather too much of a coincidence. It's not the kind of name you would normally give to a starship, and besides, anyone who knows anything about economics would immediately know what that phrase refers to.
You don't seem to understand that I'm trying to give Lucas credit for at least some intelligence and education here. If 'invisible hand' is a deliberate reference to a well-known phrase, as I assumed, it may be out of place but at least it's a fairly clever in-joke. If it isn't, it's just a really stupid name for a ship...

The sandpeople had women and children. We know this because Anakin killed them how could he tell? The children might be smaller but I never saw a sandperson with breasts. Did they hike their skirts and show him some leg or something?

Also, I can see the point of wanting to kidnap a human and use her as a slave, but they didn't. They tied her to a flimsy easel for a month. It's assumed they had to feed and give her water. What for? Was she purely ornamental? I can understand them wanting the droids, you can sell those for a lot of money, but a chick who's only skills are finding non-existand mushrooms and getting randomly pregnant, you're not going to get much.
