You can't argue with a fact (i.e. they are objective, not subjective), and you can't agree or disagree with a question. Referenced: so-called alternative facts and the difference between facts and opinions.
The filmmakers have made it clear that they don't really care about real physics (which is important in good Sci-fi), but luckily Star Wars is space fantasy so it isn't as big of a deal. Mentioned: 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Suzen loves the lumpiness of the Raddus.

  - Spaceships designed by other creatures, for example, cats

No word on whether they had any avian or murine slaves, but it's not out of the realm of possibility as Wookieepedia lists several examples of sentient bird-like and rodent-like species.
