I think everyone, OP included need to step back and realize that Star Wars is a corporate product, not a philosophy/religion/political way of life. (Yes, yes, I know about muh Jedi religion). From the first movie, Lucas had toy sales in mind even before the movie was completed. The “world building” was designed to maximize the number of toy action figures and vehicles. Ironically, one of the reasons Disney has failed with SW is that they neglected the toy designs. There is no need to do free advertising for Disney or become their evangelical missionaries.
