Look, there's a reason the Empire lost. That's all I can say.
I kind of feel there is a story to be told about how flimsy, easy to infiltrate, and corruptible basically all organizations we've seen thus far are.
The Jedi order has stood for "a thousand years/generations", but what we actually saw is one of the most incompetently run governments and wars that have ever been put to film. The reason we had clone wars is because some random jedi put in an order for a clone army, somehow none of this got back to the Jedi council until it was made. The seperatists attacked, and Yoda was like "Er, okay, I guess we have a clone army, so lets use them as our foot soldiers." and the origin of the clone army was never investigated (in the movies).
It's no wonder Palpatine was able to so easily maneuver and get complete power, which he then reorganized into an empire.
An empire that fell because of 3 scrappy people managed to exploit one critical flaw of their plans in all cases. Which destroyed the empire and let the new republic be formed....
Right up until another group, the First Order, somehow amassed enough power behind the scenes to get a new death star that is even stronger than the original, blowing up 5 key planets, which is apparently all you needed to do to destroy the new republic.
Then Palpatine comes back from some dark magic planet with ships, a new army, and portable mini death stars.
If I was a citizen of this galaxy, I'd demand to know how the fuck does this keep happening. How do random ass armies keep getting raised. Why are so many critical weaknesses to governmental structures made over and over again.
You could have like some kind of radical reporter basically trying to piece together a history of this galaxy and ending with serving as the instructor for the new NEW republic on how not to get overtaken by simple, stupid, easily avoidable tactics.
