.... but in the SW world it might not be that easy to know much about your leaders. Therefore much like, say, the Roman Empire of our own history a person living and working in Roman occupied England might know nothing at all about the Roman Emperor.As for Motti- hell I've worked for huge corporations and you don't 'fear' the CEO unless you work directly under them. You 'fear' your own managers etc. And as long as the Death Star ran properly and met it's 'Death quota' the Emperor would have no reason to go there... hence in ROTJ the shock of "The Emperor..coming HERE?!?!?!"
