Oh, I'm fully on board for there being a more or less self-consistent in-universe explanation for these things. "It's scifi/fantasy bro, just relax" is no fun at all.

... then why did you initially pretty much say that, "juat stop thinking about is so hard?"

My criticism is more aimed at whoever would point at BB8 rolling on sand and say "That wouldn't work!" Maybe it wouldn't work with our current technology, but clearly they figured out a workaround. Figuring out the in-universe explanation is way more fun.
