I don’t believe it’s explicitly said whether bacta can be used to heal scars. However because wounds healed with bacta can still scar, and because getting treatment faster increases the chance of full recovery and reduces the chance of scarring (implying that the bacta can only effectively heal that tissue which had not already scarred), I would say that bacta probably can’t heal existing scars.

Generally speaking, the expletives we use don’t exist in the Star Wars universe. They have in-universe equivalents, often more than one. Check out the vocab list linked in my bio, and scroll down to the section for slang and insults if you want some specific ones.

The Executor’s sublights are called Executor-50.x engines, and that’s about all we know. I couldn’t even tell you for sure what kind of engine they are. However, KDY also manufactured the Imperial I-class and Victory I-class Star Destroyers, which both use ion engines for sublight travel. I think it’s safe to assume that the Executor-50.x engines are also ion drives, albeit massive ones. Since I can’t give you specifics on the engines, I’ll give you a rundown of how ion drives work.
Ion drives use a controlled fusion reaction to produce a stream of charged particles, which are forced out of the exhaust ports to provide thrust. These particles are mildly radioactive (in the case of the Executor, any ship that flew too close to the engines would be vaporized by the radiation) and they travel at close to the speed of light. The engines can be powered by generators, chemical reactants, power cells, or pretty much any other sufficient source of power. On Executor-class Star Dreadnoughts, power came from one main reactor and a number of secondary reactors, though the type of reactor is unknown. If the engines are indeed ion drives, they will be nuclear fusion reactors cores.
That’s about everything I can find, unfortunately. I hope it helped!

In the Navy, specifically, I only know of one: S’ran Droot, a Chagrian who was a chief petty officer prior to the Battle of Yavin. Within the rest of the military there were more, such as the Gektl major Stafuv Rahz, and the Kaleesh general Bentilais san Sk’ar. Most aliens in the Empire were given special but low-ranking positions by the Emperor himself, as they generally would have difficulty enlisting in the standard ways. Notably, they were often brought into the ranks of the Empire because of Force-sensitivity, skill in the sciences, or, as with Stafuv Rahz, they were willing to give up their planet and its resources in return for a ranking position.
Hope that helps!

Yep, cigarettes exist. There are other versions of them, and generally different ingredients are used to make them on different worlds. The version closest to a real-world commercial cigarette is made with tobacco, also called t’bac or tabac depending on the source.

I don’t see why not. If they can be ridden and used as labour animals there probably isn’t anything preventing it, though I don’t believe this has been done in canon so I couldn’t tell you with certainty.

To my knowledge, no same-sex marriage has canonically occurred between citizens of the Republic or the Empire. I cannot seem to find any mention of it as a law. It would be impossible to make a comparison.
However, the complete lack of representation can be turned around to mean that same-sex relationships are seen as so unremarkable that they warrant no legal mention. I personally find it hard to believe that the Empire would waste time officially going after marriage rights when they were already busy with nonhumans, but at this point it’s the writer’s choice.
Hope that helps at least a bit!

The ingredients are not known, and I’m not sure I could tell you for certain whether a Human could drink it. I’m not a biologist, but I don’t believe the temperature would be an actual problem, though it would probably be uncomfortable. Humans can eat ice cubes, and can breathe air below zero degrees, so I think he could drink it safely.

Shesharillian vodka is definitely the closest, but it’s pretty obscure as canon goes. You could also use other potent distilled alcohols that aren’t actually called vodka, such as Twi’lek liquor or Kyrf.

I’ll answer your second question first, because it’s simpler: yes, a Force-sensitive can tell if their unborn child is also Force-sensitive. They can reach out and make mental contact, which can be used to calm the child, as Leia would do with her twins.
As for your first question, I believe the answer would vary, but pregnancy should generally have little affect on a Force-sensitive. We only have a couple examples to work from. Leia, if my memory serves, encountered no adverse effects beyond being able to emotionally communicate with the child, implying that under normal circumstances a Force-sensitive’s pregnancy shouldn’t be much different from a non-Force-sensitive’s. Mara Jade’s pregnancy should probably be discounted because of her illness, and I cannot think of any other Force-sensitives who became pregnant and were known to experience unusual side effects. (If anyone knows of an example, feel free to add on).
Hope that helps!
