>>33372650The answer to nearly all your questions is just "the Force" but also
>>33372816 and
>>33373576.
But if you really want me to dive into it:
>NukesThere are no nukes, the closest you get is the Death Star and equivalent weapons which destroy entire planets. Not exactly the best way to kill an individual.
>guns vs sabersGuns are superior for normal people, but when you have precognition and incredible reflexes, the saber gives you superior defense and the ability to deflect shots back at opponents. The defensive style fits the peacekeeping nature of the Jedi while the need for superior ability fits the arrogant nature of the Sith. Jedi have used guns (Luke still shoots people even after learning how to use a saber), it's just not their preferred method.
>Palpatine's disguiseThe dark side of the force can cloud the perception of even Jedi masters, and Palps was basically the best dark side user to ever exist. Also people usually miss this, but none of the Jedi trust Dooku since he's sort of leading a massive rebel army and has every reason to lie about the leadership of the Republic.
>Force clonesThe Force doesn't transfer via cloning, so you'd just get an army of bland Anakins.
>the Sith losingThey're a bunch of Darwinist idiots, so the prequels is basically Palps testing out apprentices until he gets one that doesn't die immediately.
>>33373576He's also not thinking hard enough, some of his questions are easily answered by just paying attention to the movies, no outside speculation or knowledge required.
