This is even more of a scam than a Paki Pajeet telemarketer trying to tell you you have a void warranty on a car you don't own.

Ah yes, with the ST we have:
Monster fetus! Goat man! Snout Face! Blob!
I’m pretty sure the terrible cheap designs of the ST and the lack of any PT aliens* were basically them saying “LOOK WE HAVE SUITSSSSS! NO YUCKY CGI! JUST LIKE THE OLD TIMES! NOW CLAP AND CONSOOM!”
*Other then Chewie and a few shots of Ackbar there was no aliens from the OT either in the ST lol.

One of the many things that bugged me about TFA was the distinct lack of easily recognizable alien races. I know that Snivvians, Vuvrians and Shistavanen look pretty goofy by today's standards but that's the fucking charm. The lack of different starfighters during the dogfight scenes was another. JJ and KK must have decided that the X-wing is the Cadillac of the Rebel fleet and those filthy masses wouldn't notice or care.

At least George and LucasFilm had the very legitimate excuse of "money's tight" on not having a large or larger selection of different starships and fighters when doing the Prequels, especially with Episode III.

Attack on StarKiller Base which is after the Battle of Endor:
No Y-Wings (Which are Bombers)
No A-Wings (Which are Interceptors)
No Tie Interceptors (which are smaller than a TIE Fighter and an Interceptor, they were able to keep up with an X-Wing and the Millennium Falcon WHILE FLYING IN THE DEATH STAR...that last one in Return Of Jedi almost made it out along with a SHIP THAT CAN TRAVEL FASTER THAN LIGHT).
Nope, just X-Wings and TIE Fighters.
In Real Life in 30 years the USA went from F-4's to F-16's. Surely some 30 year old Spacecraft could be made.

Not to mention that they repeatedly call all of 12 X-Wings a fleet. J.J. You fucking idiot, that’s not even close to a fleet, it’s a squadron.

Crazy to think that roughly 10 years ago the big name retailers used to give Star Wars its own dedicated aisle and now in 2022, at least going by my local Walmart, Jurassic Park has a whole aisle while Star Wars only gets a few pegs. Also don't forget that only one NuWars toy will set you back $20 where back in 2005 you could get a battle pack with at four figures for that price.

iirc clone wars has Gay The Hutt with crappy tattoosI have never watched any of the animated series, my knowledge of Hutts comes from the old Han Solo-trilogy. That being said Godfather with Hutts could work as a miniseries but they'd have to leave Tatooine (because it's not the Holy Land, just some remote dusty shithole, always has been, that's why baby Luke was brought there), couldn't deconstruct old fan favorites and insert Non-White women of power into everything.
Although they would probably cream themselves if they knew Hutts could switch genders. Imagine girlboss Tess the Hutt with dangerhair and crappy tattoos!

It is so much worse comparing Disney SW to in real life military inventories even just that of one individual country. Especially that peculiar time frame as there's still pre-WW2 vintage aircraft still flying around even if mostly in other country's militaries as hand-me-downs or de-milled for civilian ownership. Up to prototypes of aircraft which succeeded the F-16's generation.
Again more stuff George and company understood and capitalize on it in the movies, and EU before the sell to Disney.

For NATO hardware fetishists (guilty) Desert Storm followed by Iraqi Freedom are the money shot of military hardware.
The US was flying combat operations with:
F-4s, F-14s, F-15s, F-16s, F-18s, F-111s and F-117s, as well as A-6's, A-7s, AV-8s, and A-10s and of course B-52s. This was 30+ years of fighters & attack aircraft all flying operationally. That doesn't include the Brits and French and their weird ass airforces, or that in Desert Storm there were also two 50+ year old Goddamn WWII battleships. You had (refitted) pre-computer ships fighting along side satellite guided missles and laser-tracking bombs.
For Star Wars, only been 20 years, there should be T-65s flying backup roles; hell, the 'resistance' is practically an illegal terrorist organization, they shouldn't be packing the lastest hardware.
It would have made more sense of the FO to be flying mostly Uglies with only a few elite squads of TIE Tostitos.
Which... again, this is the part I find the most galling about Disney. Its not just that they fucked up , its that NOT fucking up would have been easy to do AND benefited them. Nerds would have been creaming their pants for Uglies since I dont' think anyone's made a toy before. You could sell them as a "First Order fighter builder" where you snap together part to make your own Junkyard TIE.
But of course doing any of this makes it harder for them to try to cut Lucas completely out of everything star wars. So instead we get what we got.

I genuinely believe JJ forgot that Y-Wings were even at the Battle of Yavin. Remember he didn't do any research when writing the movie, just his memories of Star Wars as a kid. That's exactly what it feels like too. The types of people who think TFA is closer in spirit of the OT than the EU or PT are so full of shit. They put 0 effort into making anything in that movie make sense because of the nostalgia and mystery boxes managed to distract everyone at the time. That, and telling George and his prequels to go fuck himself.
It doesn't even really matter anymore because nobody gives a damn about the battle scenes in TFA, which proves me right in how terrible/forgettable they were. It's the definition of a soulless movie.
roundhead's bombers are a totally different story

It would've made more sense as to why there was a business on Jakku going into old ships and getting parts.
Luke's Family was IDK collecting moisture from the air and then IDK selling it to farmers or maybe farming with the moisture from the air (like if you were using the water from your dehumidifier to grow plants). Basically we were told straight out how the economy worked there. On Jakku who was giving the water, and why was water being used as currency (OH ITS RARE ON A DESERT WORLD DUH), and who was getting the parts.
It would've been a nice twist if the First Order were shipping out water to Jakku in exchange for parts from an old battle that they could retrofit and make new ships. Why else would the Falcon (A ship that Luke said was a piece of junk) be there? Was it just a giant garbage dump and some people were digging out of the piles of literal crap to get water, something NEEDED for ALL life? And some giant garbage company was giving out water?
Not only would it have made more sense but it would've been a nice twist for Rey.
BOTH REY AND FINN WERE WORKING FOR THE FIRST ORDER, WITH REY NOT KNOWING!
WHAT A TWIST THAT ALL HER LIFE SHE WAS HELPING THE BAD GUYS AND THEN LIKE FINN MADE A CHOICE TO STOP WORKING WITH THE BAD GUYS.
EDIT: Think of how the Last Movie would've been. Not only was Rey actually working for the First Order like Finn but also a giant chess piece in Sheev's plans. A girl whose entire life was to be used for evil, said FUCK YOU I GOT TWO LIGHTSABERS!

Unfortunately the "money shot of military hardware" is still WWII with its ludicrous amount of different American aircraft types which served in some capacity or another for Uncle Sam and others.
Same for these two, granted France before the Fall had to rely more on their pre-WWII aircraft. And whatever they get from the U.S. and England for their Free French forces.
Still cannot beat the inventory of pre-WWI and WWI era ships US Navy had during WWII. Even if only counting battleships which were one predreadnought, three dreadnoughts and their entire superdreadnought lineup.

Thinking about it in the shower:
It would've been fucking awesome actually if that piece that Rey got out of the Star Destroyer in the opening of the Movie....you know that she was super-duper happy about and sled down the hill and got some water and some food for it...turned out to be what was needed for the Starkiller Base to work.
Like she could find it on the base OR thanks to the Force find out (like when picking up Anakin's Lightsaber) and realized
OMG
I KILLED ALL THOSE PEOPLE
and then is tempted by the Dark Side of the Force because Fear Leads to Anger Leads to Hate Leads to Suffering and then is tempted by Ren because of it.
THERE I JUST MADE FORCE AWAKENS EPISODE 3 LEVELS OF EDGY DARKNESS WITHOUT CHANGING THE SCRIPT.
I SHOULD WORK FOR DISNEY!
ONE LITTLE THING WAS NEEDED!
