I think the First Order wiping out a handful at a time was somewhat more significant. The planet killer was seen as a big threat (as it is of course) but then the Empire/First Order can do the same, so the SW galaxy can know just the same amount of pain, more in in some regards, less than othes.

Some planets of the 40K universe are very much peaceful and know little of warf, same with the 30k version. In an entire galaxy, it's not all death and pain. That's why some places are called pleasure worlds and civilised worlds which by defination would suggest they are nice places to be and not all geared up to kill stuff. Of course on the other side of the coin, some are fortess worlds and oddly, have a vague understanding of conflict.
