I think the reasons are most likely economic. Dewbacks and banthas are
probably much cheaper than speeders and starships. Although the SW universe
is full of high technology it does come at a price that your average SW
citizen can't afford. The people of Tatooine live in adobe huts!
On another note, i work in NYC and some of the cops around here ride on
horses. Even though they have plenty of cars and motorcycles/scooters.
