It's the woke crowd they probably would applaud the fact that Star Wars probably has the medical tech to among other things completely swap someone's gender. Or perhaps make someone into a different species. Oh god what am I doing I'll give them ideas!!!

Sith Alchemy has always been able to do that. The tuk'ata originally used to be docile, bovine herbivores, but Sith Alchemy turned them into pseudo-canine predators. Both terentateks and Darth Vitiate's monoliths are purely artificial creations, with the latter actually created purely from the energies of the Dark Side of the Force.

Anyone ever noticed how in new and improved Star Wars, the galaxy-spanning senate representing thousands of species is divided into a mere two factions? Yet another example of how fudging the lore to create ANH 2.0 had wider consequences for the new EU's setting diversity.
Oh, and those names are just goofy. The "centrist" faction are on the extreme pro-government end of the spectrum and Empire wehraboos, meanwhile the "populists" are described as "libertarian"? Mkay then.
Populists
The Populists were one of two powerful, yet unofficial, political factions that had formed in the Galactic Senate of the New Republic over the two decades following the founding of the regime. They believed that individual member planets should retain their full sovereignty, while the opposing...

I could open the "Political Faction" site of the wookiepedia and find more examples than the post-ANH republic had. Are we certain their parliament had any members outside the core worlds? I start to feel that they for one reason or another excluded the middle and outer rims because said factions might show more approval of the empire than even the "populist" faction.Random thought:

I've got mixed opinions on that.
On the one hand, it's a much better, more cohesive version of the FO that does at least sound like something that could fit into the SW universe.
However, it feels like it's still taking too many bits from the films, like Palpatine coming back. Surely if you're rewriting the whole setting you could drop a few bits.
And the FO's set up here feels like its too inspired by contemporary leftist ideas. I can practically see the Op-Eds now: "New SW film shows us how the alt right youtube pipeline works". I don't mind a work having politics, but this kind thing really, really dates a work, which is an issue.

I think the point of the exercise was to take the major plot points and make something more coherent out of it, so while I wasn’t fond of Palpy being around either, I won’t knock them for it.
Asfor the latter half, I don’t see it. Well, I see it now that you say it, but I think it was a coincidence. Shadowy cabals putting on a more reasonable face isn’t a new idea by any stretch, and this particular incarnation felt more like an outgrowth of the Baneite penchant for sneakiness than an attemp to draw from contemporary thought.

It's more the specific facet of "elements of a militaristic nazi-stand in are infiltrating society, tricking individuals and governments into adopting ideas that turn them into tools of thst regime and undermining the ideals of thier home nation" bit that sounds a bit too much like contemporary leftist conspiracy theories.
I suppose to a point it doesn't line up, since the modern theory is that actual nazis are ding it, not just people being tricked by nazis, but that’s treated as a thin line in practice. And the Institute did say they were taking inspiration from real groups and movements, hence why I'm not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt.

really that just sounds like modern "Progressiveism" in a nutshell. Between failed sexual practices dating back to Ancient greek And roman times and anti-diversity thought exercises that date back to the original communist parties (cancel culture anyone?) and it IS starting to affect aspects of the right, how much stuff has been said here on the Sietch that has been upvoted as based would fit right at home with a communist manifesto. Ethno-unity, brotherhood the end of modernity ect,

I'm probably going to regret this, but to what exactly are you referring to here?
There's always been stories playing fears about society being corrupted and subverted from within, it's a tale as old as time. Largely because societies have been corrupted and subverted from within since the beginning of time.

LGBTQ+ is not a new thing. The Greeks and the roman's were partaking in all kinds of deviant behaviors, how many myths involved bestiality and incest alone? not to mention it was very common for roman soldiers and noblemen to have "Their way" with barbarians. heck the practice of Sodomy (Gay men having sex with each other) dates back to biblical times. Abortion as well was a very common thing in the bronze age. It should be a red flag to everyone that rather than support monogamy, responsible birth control methods, and disciplined hedonism (IE condoms) the left's immediate answer is to go back to the reckless uncontrolled hedonistic lifestyles of the bronze age.
