Yoda was one of the biggest negatives in reviews of Empire. Plus he sounded a bit like Fozzie Bear (no relation) - for obvious reasons.

Last Jedi, I think. Wouldn’t have looked out of place.

We can also chat about the physics involved in star wars if you like and why the so beloved dogfights in space would actually result in most of the pilots being splattered against their cockpits...

I’d rather not. You just have to suspend disbelief innit.
I worked with a woman who went to see Star Wars on its first release.
Me: what did you think?
Her: weeeeeellllll, it was a bit far-fetched.
See what I mean.

She was right.
I'd still like to know why, given if it's a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, why they look human.
Is it convergent evolution?
If so, are all the 'human looking' people descended from a single planet? If not, then that leads to more questions.
Btw as star trek will tell you, the solution is clearly to have inertial dampers. Which work by <insert technobabble here>.
Obvious really....

Given that the ships in SW generate their own internal gravity they don't really have an issue with dampening or cancelling entirely the g-forces of inertia, so there's that.
The humans in SW look human because they ARE human. Duuuuhhhhhh! 
The humans on Earth are clearly descendents of the humans in the SW galaxy (it's all happening a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, right? Enough time for intergalactic travel.)
The humans in the SW galaxy were enslaved by the Rakatan Empire millennia before the events in the films, and the Rakatans took their slaves with them when they spread across the galaxy. It is believed that the SW Galaxy humans did initially evolve on a single planet but it was so long ago that it's location is lost in the mists of deep time.
It's all there in the lore, Fozzy, although according to in-universe archaeologists this is only a theory.

Clearly they were the humans that existed before the Ancient Apocalypse wiped them out. According to Twitter.

But Nellers. "a long time ago" blows that reasoning out of the water.
