I agree. Here my thoughts...
The Ksod site only counts players in squads that do Squad Wars. In-game population numbers possibly count newbies, inactive and Dev bases, but it's impossible these numbers are correct. Impossible Dandoran have more population than Tatooine. Everyone who starts in this game starts on Tatooine. What means you need 5 HQ upgrades until buy Planetary Command and move to another planet.
Hoth being the 2nd most populated planet could be true if Tatooine was the first planet, but again is impossible Dandoran have more players than Hoth. Hoth is the most popular planet to any SW fan due to Episode V and usually the first unlocked planet for those playing the game for the first time. Veteran players or 2nd/3rd accounts usually unlock Takodana as first planet to have access to OP in Squad Wars, and then unlock Hoth as 3rd planet to have at least one planet of each landscape to use their Armory equipment.
On Windows we didn't have any numbers in the Galaxy map because SWC Windows server was broken due to CNFOs and other bugs. On iOS/Android I didn't see any significant change in months in these numbers...
