    We're not the only ones to have looked at the clone wars and rise of the empire though an economic lens as the powerful and wealthy Core worlds screwing over the weak and poor Rim, then the tacit understanding that Core worlds would be spared the ravages of the empire being violated by...

    So, kill Palpatine earlier? He'd accounted for every plausible threat to his plan. That left being eaten by the Zillo Beast.

    Palpatine is found dead of unknown causes in his palace, a bit before ANH. Cue power struggle, blame shifting and comedy. Probably the closest to your reformist would actually be Vader of all people, he's technically next in line of succession what with the Rule of Two and he can bluff that...

    Thing is, Palpatine kinda wanted to steal those. Orbital bombardment removes that option.

    Little known fact, Padme actually died of embarrassment not “a broken heart”. /s

    Moreso, it’s easy. Hyperspace-capable spacecraft are everywhere. Planetary destruction went from requiring the money and industrial might of a galaxy-spanning empire to everyone.

    I am now imagining an AU where Palpatine’s whole plan crashes and burns because the galactic equivalent of Chris Hansen got the wrong idea from his meetings with Anakin.

    We don't know what percentage of families, upon having a force-sensitive child and getting contacted by the jedi, actually gave said child up. Potentially it might've been low.

    For all Disney did, Darth Momin remains the only thing they objectively got right. Not even from an in-universe perspective, but his insights on artwork and being an artist and making your thoughts outlast yourself were genuinely meaningful. It reminds me of Yoda's brief brush with the dark side...

    The thing about using Purrgils as WMDs is that Ezra's trick suggests an obvious countermeasure so it only ought to work once, until the enemy figures out what's going on. There's a signal which attracts swarms of Purrgils to come and attack every ship near the transmission source. Maybe it's...

    Here, have some more. At this point I think we can safely say Artificial Intelligence has surpassed the artistic capacities of megacorp nepotism babies. And is still rapidly improving. Imagine in a few decades if it isn't banned, when we can actually watch these films. Then a few decades...

    While we're on the topic of identification, someone 'fixed' Fallen Order and Disney Wars' lack of non-mary-sue female characters.
