I've spent the last 2 hours cleaning and I'm so done. Do you think people in GFFA have to do their own vacuuming? You'd think they'd have droids for that... then again. I don't know which droid, from the movies at least, I'd trust with dusting my bookshelves. And at least I don't live on Tatooine - getting rid of all that dust must be hell.
Hey, lets play a game:
- Pick a SW character.
- Do you think they ever vacuum/sweep/dust?

If we look at this in a Doylist way, we can see why there are many more people in crowd scenes and public life on planets than droids (cheaper to show on screen until very recently). But if we look at our own societies now, assuming we had that level of technology, having human workers would be considered a luxury and only used for particular kinds of services. Even if you didn't own any droids yourself, you would probably contract with services that rented them out for jobs, either on a regular basis (weekly cleanings) or for one-time work.
