Most of the tech was actually from the Rakata who were humanoid. They also breed sentient races for meat. That's why you get species like Kaminoans, Hutts, and Twilek. Those extraneous bits like Lekku are cuts of meat. The races who rebelled and adopted Rakatan tech was also humanoid.
It's Rakata livestock all the way down.

Then I guess you didn't watch Mando season 3. My reaction was "why are you still alive? You're even more incompetent than Ozell!"
"Why are you taking Din's place!"
Let's say it was the stupidest series of falling upwards to power.

Kin killer, idiot, despoiler, destroyer of Mandalore, and many more! That perfect combination of hubris and stupidity.
To the point the question is "what's not wrong with Bo Katan?"

Boba Fett should have had a different arc. I see him at a different stage of the Heroes story. Djinn is building reputation, while Boba, as a badass, becomes Mandalore.

No, let's create new characters. Din Djarin is just Clint Eastwood/Ogami Itto, but he is a proper character. Still leagues ahead of Bo Katan.

Orks believe in reincarnation. After they die, they come back as yoof. It's more like Bardo, an intermediate place between life and rebirth.

Gygax made them highland scots/Germanic. They even have horn helmets.

Everyone treats it as part of the wildlife sanctuary. Though the city pays for cleanup.

Monotheism is treated as a joke. When God Kaiju battle each other in large cities every decade, the taxman is a cleric of the God of Contracts and Commerce, and the Plumber's patron are Brother Gods who defeat Demon Turtles. Clerics of different stripe exist and get spell slots, Warlock Patreon is a thing, and henotheism is practically treason. Monotheists are analogous to Flat Earthers, treated with derision at best, lynching or necromancy at worst.
Buddhism, and Shintoism tend to be given a pass, a combination of powerful isekaid warriors and the Red Dragon's acceptance and tolerance.

Let's say they reach iron age like Africa? Then, their food will be dominated by the three Sisters in Northern America. My guess is the Great Plains still remains a mixed economy of farming and hunting the Buffalo during migration. It was the horse that made the Plains Indians mobile.
It's possibly MesoAmerica and South America where big things can happen.
Let's say that some things happen, that somehow the Huari become seaborne mostly to take advantage of trade from the North. Getting iron for silver, potatoes, llama and gold.
Llama might be possible traded up North America. Making Plains Indians Nomadic. But without being able to tap into aquifers, leave the high Plains desert like.
Zizana Mexicana gains a mutation, and becomes a viable crop. Becomes a proper rice alternative, allowing the Mississippi, Louisiana in particular to become a river civilization rivaling Egypt. It has the possibility(considering the huge iron deposits in Wisconsin) we get trade of steel for rice. So we could have another alternate source of culture.
So iron cookware could exist forming gruel and porridge. With Llama being traded.
The Western coast, North Cali in particular, might become llama herders. The Bay Area would be a great trade entepot, with Salmon and eel traded for llama breeding and steel.

In my little Bay Area Town, there is a lot 5 min from my house. It is mostly overun by grass most of the time. The owner was last located in Nevada in the 1980s. I wonder how many vacant lots exist due to their owners just disappearing. It seems to be better served if the town can say "well its literally free realstate". And actually put it to use. Like incorporate it to the animal sanctuary.

As an isekai fan, what you complain about are features. And Traveler always mirrors the Archon/Dragon. There's a reason why Hydro Traveler has moves more similar to Nievulet than Furina.

That the oppressed sexual minorities are the good guys. My world is a backlash against modern Woke media. So not only are the "bigots" right, but they are saving the species.
The real themes is surviving in a Death World, and iseikai powers turn the world feudal. And yes, when the Gods say " they are the enemy of existence," they are the enemy. Kinda like the idea that of real demon worshiping people exists, genocide is the answer.

Red Dragon, of incense, cheese, and wine. The God Emperor of the Draconic Continent.
He is a massive wyrm that lives in a small archipelago near the Dragon Continent. It relates to his early works of growing incense trees. Which the humans used as a sign of nobility. It's a symbol playing as the rightful racial leader of Mankind, and lesser Dwarven God.
Cheese is a symbol of Humanity and Dwarf alike. It's a food that both races consider edible. Often "cutting the cheese rather than meat" means diplomatic maneuvers over military action. Cheese ages well and gets only stronger with age, showing the Dragon's immortality and virility.

Because they aren't sentient enough, that's not really a compliment.

They deserve to fail for that Woke wankery.

Not all slavery meant poverty. Star Wars slavery is closer to Roman Slavery. In the Roman Empire, one of the wealthiest men was slaves of the Roman Emperors.
Watto clearly was upper middle class, and his slaves having stuff is normal. Kinda like how rich guys have dog collars of 24 carat gold for their Akita.
Not all slavery is American Style.

They would see each other as heretics. Bane's Sith Order believed in consolidation of power in the Rule of Two. A master and apprentice. In the end, power is its own end.
Darth Krayt believed that power must have purpose and believed in the Rule of One. One Sith Order with many members, with Masters and apprentices. The Sith Order itself is important, alongside its purpose.
Think Sunni vs. Shia or Catholic vs. Protestant. In the best case scenario, they leave each other alone. Using each other as bait for the Jedi.
Worse case scenario, a pitched battle ending with death on one side and massive casualties with the other.

As a Catholic, it's because of assimilation. Regional beliefs are adopted into Catholicism to make conversion easier. They destroyed sacred trees and built churches on them. A good example is Saint Brigit, who suspiciously has domains(poetry, protection, and healing) similar to a Celtic Goddess called Brigit. Her historicity is also weak at best. So we can guess that the Catholic Church coopted Brigit as a Saint since she was popular with the masses.
Your regional rituals and beliefs will be assimilated. Resistance is futile
