All weak excuses for lazy writing. There is absolutely no good reason for so much stuff to be so uniform throughout an entire
galaxy of different planets, species, cultures... and there's even
less reason for all of it to remain so uniform for
thousands of years.
I mean, geez, look at planet Earth alone -- I don't use the same slang as a guy in Australia, plenty of people drive things other than Mazdas, every army on the planet uses a different standard issue rifle, not every crime boss is a Mexican guy with a pet tiger, and we have far more than one biome. And that's just
one planet.
Tatooine, Dantooine, Alderaan, Hoth, Dagobah, Coruscant, Corellia, Talus, Tralus, Naboo, Thyferra, Ryloth, Kashyyyk, Mustafar, Lok, Geonosis, Yavin, Endor... I could go on. All of these are entire
planets with presumably at least a
couple of indigenous species apiece.
Yet everyone out there is either a Sith Lord/Apprentice, Jedi Master/Knight, an evil bounty hunter, a smartass smuggler with a heart of gold, an emotionally detached female dignitary, an Imperial officer (or equivalent for the time period), or underworld scum? Sorry. It's just Lucas trying to sell the same story forty different ways, and it has done nothing but shrink the Star Wars universe.
