What always bugged me about the Star Wars universe (and I’m a huge fan) is the almost complete rendering in black and white in the first 6 movies: Jedi, the Republic, the Rebels are good, the Empire & the Sith are bad.

And yet we don’t get enough background or context why this is the way it is. Where do we see suffering brought from the Empire (we got the exploding Alderaan, but we don’t care about anybody on that planet bc we don’t know them)?
This thought is articulated here: http://www.weeklystandard.com/the-case-for-the-empire/article/2540

One the other side we don’t see the Jedi admitting or processing their own guilt in creating Darth Vader. Look at this explanation how Anakin turns not so much because of his personal weakness, but a systematic failure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUPD1w78D5I
Bonus: Article about the failure of the Jedi (not the movie makers!) in worshipping midichlorian counts: http://www.vulture.com/2017/12/star-wars-prequels-midi-chlorians-defense.html

My thought was to restructure the Prequels around this. What do you guys think? Is there even Material (maybe Clone Wars or Rebels voice tracks) that could help?
