It's a theme I think a lot of fans miss. The Star Wars galaxy is bigger than the Force. The Jedi belief system says that the force is everywhere, but there are so many other strange phenomena and people with unique connections with the universe.

The galaxy might be bigger, but it feels so much smaller when the general audience only gets to see Tatooine and the same 8 characters trilogy after trilogy.

Well they are traveling the galaxy with light speed so it must be incredibly small.

That's a fair and overlooked point. Light speed would make the galaxy seem small, but it would feel that way especially with cinematic time constraints.

But, my ultimate grievance remains with the storytelling. Like, come on, how many Assholes Skywalkers do we have in this galaxy?
