Which Palpatine wouldn't care one whit about...

Yeah, true Buddhism advocates total non-violence, but a change in religious POV and the fact that you (e.g., Lucas) are profiting from a series of films that you helped create could explain the stupid change to Greedo shooting first. Nobody said that claiming a religion meant that you couldn't be nominal (hypocritical) about it.
