As someone who once enjoyed studying history, it bothers me that the "Old Republic" is basically exactly the same as the Republic of the prequels, and it bothers me that the Sith Empire is basically exactly like the Galactic Empire.
History don't work like that.
We're talking a 4,000 year difference: there's no excuse for things to be as similar as they are to the prequels.
It's lazy writing designed to create a scenario where they can cram as much Star Wars tropes into the story as possible. It's not actually a good extension of Star Wars.

Star Wars is fucking stupid, true, but this shit is found in many settings where the time periods involved are way too long. TES is the same.

star wars is fantasy not sci-fi and it doesn't even pretend to be

>Using big boy words like logically.You cant logically deduct that in a fantasy galaxy the civilisations have the same development than in the milky way. Thats like saying a train and the picture of a train are the same thing because the picture depicts what looks like a train.Thats why its fantasy and only has to follow its inherent logic and even then not really if you consider that Star Wars Old Republic era and Star Wars Galactic Civil War era are essentially different universes even if the timeline is coherent in both.Btw humans (sapiens) had probably almost the same technological advancement for around 60 000 years their predecessors (still sapiens) for more than 200 000 years, the forms before that for several million years. 95% of development in the last 10 000 years happened in 10% of that time. "We" used spears for probably ~2 000 000 years, clubs and chopping tools for 4 000 000 years continously till today. For literally millions of years of history, technology almost didnt advance at all because humans hit a ceiling in their capabilities. But its hard to believe that civilizations dont move for 4000 years? China is around 5000 years old with written history of about 3000. Of that time they drastically changed only in the last 200 years. Unlimited, exponentially steady growth is the dumbest concept of you futurist faggots ever. I can smell the Dyson Sphere idiocy of you mouth breathing, chimp faced tard from here. Muh magi-tech in 100 years my ass. Go mine mercury.
