Great article! Can you also do an analysis of the lack of security in that galaxy? Some examples that come to mind are accepting expired "passwords" for access to top secret installations and a seemingly COTS astromech droid (aka mechanic) being able to hack into supposedly secure military infrastructure at least twice.

This is too real.

  They didn’t have an owner for quality;
  They weren’t testing early and often;
  They were testing on production, a lot, and on a Friday too.
