You imply that there is some sort of Solar Empire enforcing this. What will happen is the colonies will eventually come up with their own calendars and time system that reflects their own planet's rotation, seasons and diurnal cycle. This is the human way and is inevitable.

Tomatoes are South American. Ban tomatoes in Monfalcone.

It might replace the dumb AI we see in strategy games. You know, the one that suddenly nukes your cities after signing a peace treaty.

Think of it as seeing rats abandoning a sinking vessel.

Kek. I'm reminded of when the Russian FSB supposedly caught Western spies in Russia. Among the incriminating evidence were several pirated copies of The Sims game. Presumably, the FSB goons were told to plant phone simcards at the scene but they misunderstood it to mean the PC game. As such, I am conjecturing that this billboard was designed by inept Russian or Indian online operatives.

I think everyone, OP included need to step back and realize that Star Wars is a corporate product, not a philosophy/religion/political way of life. (Yes, yes, I know about muh Jedi religion). From the first movie, Lucas had toy sales in mind even before the movie was completed. The "world building" was designed to maximize the number of toy action figures and vehicles. Ironically, one of the reasons Disney has failed with SW is that they neglected the toy designs. There is no need to do free advertising for Disney or become their evangelical missionaries.

Horses were saved by cars too. Before ICE cars, horses were treated like shit and worked to death.

Not in the acceptable common format.

Nanni (1750 B.C.E.) [1] found that the quality of copper ingots from Dilmun specifically acquired and delivered by merchant Ea-nāṣir of Mesopotamia was substandard and thus not acceptable for trade [2,3,4,5,6,7,8].

No. But they do wonder if they should buy a boat.
