It’s one of the most compelling things for me about the Star Wars universe, the relative ease of space travel and the biological riot that implies.
Symbiosis of species that didn’t evolve on the same planet, for example, just imagine the wild innovations evolution would find.
The only mention of anything microbial is bacta and midichlorians in the Sequel That Shall Not Be Named, but as a micro nerd myself I have always wondered how they manage to not inadvertently create galactic super-plagues?
