I stand by my initial summation: the pitch session at LucasFilm lasted 10 seconds. They walked in and said, "it's like Goonies, but Star Wars Goonies".
You've got pirates, buried treasure, bad guys hunting you, adventure, and a bunch of kids having the time of their lives. Even if they almost get killed constantly (but that's the adventure, right?).
