No, "galactic" doesn't "lend" a thing to the idea of
the immensity of the universe.  It's just a meaningless
extra word designed to make the phrase sound grander.
It's like saying "the planetary earth."

"The whole universe" (or even just "the universe")
automatically includes all galaxies and everything
else.  To call it a "galactic universe" implies that
there is some *other* kind of universe, an even
bigger one.  So it actually *diminishes* what it's
trying to convey rather than expanding it.

"A buncha galaxies," BTW, is a gross understatement.
There's no way to know for sure since we can observe
only a portion of them, but some estimate there are
over a hundred billion galaxies.  And even *that* may
be a gross understatement.

(Another interesting, if irrelevant, fact: recently a
bunch of *tiny* galaxies have been discovered that
contain only a few million stars.  It's thought that
they were once larger and have somehow been compacted.)

I wouldn't use this reference if I were you.  It's
close to illiterate.
