I do not know exactly what you mean by lore, I am guessing you mean ‘Star Wars’ legend (for lack of better word), but Let me say it does even matter to my point, so I would just concede what you are saying is true.

My overriding point, which I thought was obvious, especially with the, just tiny sample of many cases, examples I gave, that peace activism works! It might take the time, but really should not take too much time & after achieved be ready to take on others (internal, external or combination of both), but it works!
Yet in ‘Star Wars’ (almost all other SciFi entertainment one can think of, let alone ‘Star Trek’) the creators rush right pass, not even portraying it is possibility, or (as you say happened in ‘Star Wars’) through a ridiculously short attempts at it.
That big BLANKING problem! Insulting to people power & peaceful protest!
