Nobody mentions how dense the atmospheric air pressure on Tatooine must have been for those tiny wings on him to be enough to give him flight. The speed of Luke's T-16 must have been fairly slow so it wouldn't have burst into flames from just friction with that dense air.
At least using Earth's atmosphere and gravity numbers, his body isn't big enough even if 100% of the volume was hydrogen and all his skin and bones were paper thin, that still wouldn't be enough lift. He wears a leather harness and small satchel among other things.
Also I can't remember a specific scene but I'm sure he picks up objects at some point, at which he's have to provide lift from not only his body but the weight of the item being carried.
I know, I'm not upset or anything. OPs question asking about any "force immune" species is a question testing the limits of the fantasy universe. I'm doing the same here for fun discussion.
