They're not all human.
Every one I ever saw wearing a uniform on board an Imperial ship was. Same with every Stormtrooper.
Yeah, but at least Star Trek sometimes has at least nominal nonhumans in Starfleet.
This was addressed in the second installment of the 1990's trilogy "Attack of the Clones." All the stormtroopers were originally created as clones of Jango Fett (Father of Boba Fett) on the planet Kamino, and trained there to serve as the Army of the Republic. Which later became the army of the empire, or in other words, the stormtroopers of the "Original" (1977-82) trilogy.

The Jedi weren't all human and they were a separate arm of the military of the Republic. As for the space forces of the Empire, the ships were built by humans for humans. The same as our ships of space are.
Well, and also the emporer was a human and it is likely that one of the doctrines of the empire was human supremacy. Much like most Earth-bound totalitarian regimes in Earth history were (and still are) often are based on the idea of one ethnic group or nationality being superior to or dominant over another. So, it makes sense that the empire favored humans over other races as superior and wanted their armies to be mostly humans.

If anyone calls you on any weird detail, just say it's from the Jedi Prince book series, which contains so much random incongruous stuff that even most Expanded Universe/Legends fans collectively agreed to forget about it decades ago.

It's not like the Ewoks will be taking over the universe.
We must be vigilant against the Ewok Menace!

For some reason, my childhood suspension of disbelief had no problem with the fact that this ancient galaxy is full of humans, but was derailed by language. There's no Asia OR Europe there, so where'd they get all the Indo-European roots?

If you were really into SciFi, you'd know that life did not originate on Earth, but rather 'out there'. Indo-European roots have their roots in the great beyond. Whether you follow the Twelve Colonies, or the Minbari storylines, or any of how many others.

Yes they will. They were about to eat Luke, Han, and Chewie. Then they gave them more advanced weapons and introduced them to space travel.

I'd rather have eaten Princess Ardala.

What's their motivation for universal domination? They were minding their own business.
