IIRC, the Jedi Order at the time of the Prequel Trilogy, numbered ten thousand in total. There was no note that this was an exceptionally low or high number, and if there's an explicit canon number for any other pre-Empire period, I'm not familiar with it. There aren't enough Jedi to act both...

You do not need Bacta. There are other forms of medicine. The idea that a single planet can provide it to millions of worlds in a galaxy is hard to believe anyways. You do not need Tibanna gas. There's other types of weapons technology available, canonically, and those gas giants are scattered...

That popped up as a direct element in literally none of the movies or books I've seen or read, which is most of the original EU, and all of the movies except the most recent. Looking at the sources for that page, it seems to come exclusively from game manuals and the like. So, tertiary source...

1. You're quoting logistically impossible factors to try to claim that small-scale nations wouldn't be functional. Bad writing isn't a justification for impossible governmental systems. Economy of scale can give you advantages in hypermatter production, but that doesn't make fundamentally...

You actually have this backwards. A centralized bureaucracy will actually end up larger and more wasteful, not less. This is in large part due to how much more difficult it is to hold that bureaucracy accountable. If your city government has an inept department head in its bureaucracy, you have...

No. The needs of the people in Corellia, differ too much from the needs of the people on Tatooine, to those on Kashyyk, etc, etc. If you're looking for a government system 'by the people, for the people,' there is no need to try to conglomerate power on the galactic scale, and a hell of a lot...

Most of those threats aren't large enough in a given few centuries to be existential. Even with Juvenaut treatments, human lifespans don't generally last between 3-400 years, and Space Marines don't actually rule the Imperium. It only takes one generation for a society to fall apart, and there...

And it suffers constant rebellions and infighting. Even at that, it's implausibly coherent.

You wouldn't want to give any megacorp regional monopolies, that'd end horribly. Requiring a corp be properly registered to be permitted to compete as part of interstellar trade, and thus giving you a controlling monopoly on who does and does not trade, that works much better. Letting the...

Even an authoritarian empire isn't something that could actually happen on that scale. Not with human psychology. It's just too difficult to hold on to so much territory. It wouldn't be possible in a monoculture, much less a multi-species multi-culture environment. ShieldWife wouldn't allow a...

This doesn't give us enough information to be useful. There are thousands of species, and there's no hard information on who forms what percentage of the population. All we know is that humans are all over the place, and in population proportions high enough that a 'human supremacist' Empire was...

It's impossible to have a cogent answer to that, without knowing just what the different psychologies of the various different races you're supposed to govern are. If the majority of sophonts are even reasonably close to human Psychology, a nation of that sheer size is logistically impossible...
