I don't think we get to see residential life much or at all, do we? the settings are usually:
- slummiest of slums
- government buildings
- military bases
- wilderness

In The Last Jedi theres a big gambling planet, full of casinos, and alien horse races.

Can that be counted as entertainment?

I do agree about it being very minimum, would love to see a star wars sport of some sort.

Like how Harry Potter made quidditch or however its spelled, for wizards.

well there is Huttball in the mmo The Old Republic but I don't know if that was just made for the game. it's a pvp event you can actually play against others.

Star Wars is pretty low tech for sci-fi when you ignore the space travel. There's an ancient religion of what seems to be magic, laser swords, and... holo chess.

With the exception of certain planets like Coruscant or Alderaan, most planets have very low populations and only a few major settlements. Communications and things are transferred through the holonet across the galaxy but it's limited (and highly controlled by the Empire and Republic) so on most planets there's limited access to television equivalents.

On Coruscant and stuff there is supposed to be more widespread stuff like that but we don't really see it except in a handful of scenes.

Back in Episode II we saw some droid football in that club. In the EU I recall there are some holo movies of sort. Even Wraith Squadron former commander was a former child actor I recall. So said entertainment exist.

It seems especially lacking because advertising was never invented in that galaxy.

Imagine a neon billboard the size of a Death Star every quarter parsec.

you don't see them because they're all inside watching tv or browsing the internet

all the main characters are super cool and don't waste their time on internet forums and save the galaxy

Probably entertainment is defined by what planet your on. Different races like different media. Coupled with everything being localized and the lack of a apparent internet/media services.

But jizz is the best music in the galaxy.
