[Star Wars] Is the galaxy too big to be effectively governed by one government?
gpt
Yes, of course. The Republic suceeded for as long as it did by mostly preserving/respecting local authority and not interfering much outside of inter-system disputes. But the needs/wants/troubles of Coruscant, Naboo and Bespin are VERY different, and trying to put them all into one top-down fascist system worked *terribly.* They needed a freakin' PLANET-DESTROYING LASER to keep *their own people* in line. And it didn't even work!

The larger the system of government, the worse it will work. The galaxy is simply WAY too big.
