@hobbyhub demographically speaking I am in the majority in my region … :-p that still doesn’t explain why Chinese culture hasn’t dominated my life in the same way American culture has as the former has the biggest potential audience.

Besides … as you say : it is a fictional universe

Applying demographics of our world is not going to work either way.
There’s a reason why ‘planet of hats’ is a standard in fictional settings like this.
Heroes and villains like Thrawn are an exception … and that makes them special/unique.

The lack of friction for a traitor stormtrooper like Finn was weird to say the least. The fun thing is that in Rebels there is an entire story arc dedicated to get a Jedi to trust a clonetrooper ….
Surely his training/indoctrination can’t have been that ineffective to have zero effect once he declares his desire to rebel ?
It almost made me wonder why there were any stormtroopers left at all.

Anyways … High Republic.
First they throw out the baby with the bathwater and now they insist on reinventing the wheel and presenting it as something ‘new’. Not impressed yet. And a track record that hasn’t given me reason to be hopeful.
