Well it's definitely a lot more practical, giving only a small group of people a certain privilege obviously isn't going to help get new recruits. I'm assuming that since this is thirty years later, and that since the Rebels have gained a much stronger political foothold in the galaxy that the remnants of the Empire had to be less exclusive in order to survive. Also being more diverse would have helped them expand in an otherwise politically chaotic time period. I also can't help but observe how similar it is to the EU. The idea of alien and female Imperial leaders reminds me a lot of Desann and Tavion in Jedi Outcast.
