      Technology in the Star Wars universe is very bizarrely limited in many areas. Like for example, every civilization should have the technology to build a Dyson Swarm, yet not a single one has, even though it is such a logical thing to do and by far the easiest way of obtaining large amounts of energy. Any solar system with one could build multiple lasers as powerful as the Death Star, and it wouldn't even be a challenge with the amount of power obtained from a star.
      They don't seem to use any artificial intelligence either, at least not usefully, and I'm not talking about creating sentience, I'm just talking about simple machine learning that could easily replace probably 99% of all jobs in the galaxy, instead they use their most advanced AIs in stupid robots that can barely do their job, I mean seriously, the CIS used battle droids as spaceship pilots, why the fuck do they even need physical droids piloting starships, using their badly built limbs to manipulate controls, when you could just stick a usb plug in the ship's computer and make it a billion times more capable than any human pilot, and this being with just simple machine learning, not even anything closely resembling sentience, like all droids seem to have. They used freaking people and droids to build the Death Star for decades, when they could've just built a single self replicating space probe with very simple AI, launched it into an asteroid belt, and have a few hundred Death Stars built during the same time.
      And don't get me started on their medicine. How the hell is everyone still mortal? We're almost beginning to understand how to slow down aging with current technology, and soon we'll be able to stop it entirely, probably in 100 years at most, it's certainly a lot easier than making you grow gills to live in the ocean (which will also eventually be possible). Yet they can travel through the entire galaxy faster than light but can't save a pregnant woman because she "lost the will to live"? You just can't think of Star Wars as sci fi, it's just plain fantasy.

      They shun Non Human creatures.
      Probably have work camps (wouldn't put it past them)
      And share many traits with Nazi Germany.

Sure, if you want perfection, sure, you improve your genes, but why would you stop there? Biology can only do so much. There are other branches of science and engineering that far surpass the limits of biology to explore.

      Given that perfection doesn't actually exist, perfectionism is largely just what you deem to be 'perfection'. With that said, perfectionists almost always get themselves obsessively stuck to one or several areas, to the utter refusal of considering any options available, so i would say that the Kaminoans are indeed perfectionists, albeit not so much in a practical manner. In a bid to preserve the FORM of their culture & civilization, they've pretty much effectively killed the SPIRIT of it all.

Bossk ate his siblings and his father was proud of him for that. Later Bossk killed and ate him too. While Garnac loved his son and when Ahsoka killed him, he went crazy because of it. So which one is the norm ? Was Bossk's father a psycho or was Garnac unusually loving for a Trandoshan ?

According to ufology some people like Credo Mutwa have seen tall versions of the men in black little greys. The thought is that the tall greys are either higher status or even the actual sentience behind the little greys, and that the little greys are remote controlled avatars. Also to note is that a lot of ufo abductee stories include being poked, prodded, examined, even experimented on by greys on a table in a lab/ER room-like setting in various intrusive manners and that they are likely the less compassionate of the alien races. Therefore the "lacking moral compass, apathetic, geneticist" connection with the Kaminoans. Just seeing your video just struck me that the Kaminoans are actually just like tall greys.

    Listening to the history and culture of the Kaminoans to some extent reminds me of the Tleilaxu from the Dune universe. Like the Kaminoans they were masters of genetic engineering, creating high quality meats for the nobles to dine on, 'Gholas' which are a kind of clone that possesses the memories of its template (that is also how they perpetuate their own existence, through gholas of themselves), 'Twisted' Mentats such as Piter de Vries and eventually they even managed to synthesize the Spice Melange, breaking the monopoly the planet Arrakis has on its production.
    Their work on genetics is at the core of their religious beliefs and they are all quite devout, and they view everyone else in the universe with a certain degree of contempt, even as they sell their creations to them.

    Surprised they didn't just add an order to turn on anyone other than Kamino. Literally could've had their own empire.
