I thought they were excellent, though I can’t say I wasn’t a little disappointed with the Massacre. A few hundred Imps and Protesters dying in another riot-turned-slaughter felt a bit too vanilla. I would have had some large bombings by “Ghorman Terrorists”, maybe they take out the central imperial building or destroy a Gozanti which crashes into the city. I also would have included some Occupier tanks or ITTs in a Tiananmen Square role crushing people. Aside from that complaint, I really enjoyed them.

Haven't watched it, but yeah in the old EU the massacre was understood to be Tarkin's star destroyer leveling a city and then landing on the ashes for good measure.
Disney Star Wars has no appreciation of scale.
The entire galaxy only has a few million people living in it, and the entire Imperial fleet is a dozen ships.
Anyone wanting to write sci-fi on a galactic scale really should watch something like Legend of the Galactic Heroes first so they can get a taste of the size of fleets a government possessing hundreds of star systems would be able to throw around.
The women in charge can’t do math
There's reference to this in the show as having happened 10 years ago, wherein Tarkin killed 500 Ghormans in the manner you described. The massacre we see later in the show is different. Apparently, there are two separate Ghorman massacres. I'm not sure if that's canon.
