5. Stop Being Racist/Sexist/Xenoist
Have you ever noticed that the only black guy in the Star Wars universe was Lando before the prequels added Mace? Have you ever noticed that there are no aliens in the Empire? No alien stormtroopers, and no women for that matter. Have you ever noticed that every Imperial officer or trooper is white? There's a reason for that. As the Expanded Universe explains it, the Empire has a strict no non-human policy. That means if you're not neither white nor a man then your chances of getting in are very small. Sure, they might work with you as a mercenary, but they'll treat you like scum. So unless they're a tall blue guy named Thrawn, they need not apply. Humanoids will have a hard enough time as it is, weird alien life forms coming from bugs or fish genetic pools are right out. That goes for girls too, no ladies in the Galactic Empire. Which is really stupid. These blatantly prejudice policies do nothing, but create dissent among a galaxy filled with a multitude of alien species (not to mention, women). If anything, it only leads to the probability of future uprisings. Like in World War II, the Nazis wanted to rule the world, but they only wanted to accept a certain people group in it. That will never work and there will be plenty of good people in the demographic they want who stand up to say no. Now just imagine if the Nazis and the Empire had not been racist pigs. That would have made the Imperial military force expand in size by the billions and would probably mean we would all be wearing Hitler Youth uniforms to school (or the Star Wars equivalent).
