The main problem I see is that TodoMVC is immediately clear as an app and its requirements - this has a bunch of Star Wars-related stuff that distract from what the challenges and requirements of the app (both for a hypothetical user and for the implementors).

I like the idea of a fuller common-comparison app (and even some of the requirements of this app), but not sure this is the right framing.

Even without the Star Wars stuff, it's not really clear what value this app provides.

To me it appears to just be a cursable priority queue component. Such a component should be provided by a standard library, not implemented as its own app. Of course, this is a learning exercise so some leeway is afforded, but it might be even more effective to include extracting the core component into a reusable library as part of the challenge.

Also, what is a Todo app, but a priority queue?
