Missed the joke by a mile.
An Empire founded before there was even a Rebellion, and killed lots of people in the process of an orchestrated war to create it.
I know that already, they started the clone wars to get to power. That doesn't explain anything about what life was like for imperial citizens. They all seemed pretty happy, very happy, regardless of the unjust methods that their leader came to power with.
Do you have any examples of how happy they were?
While democracy is the most ideal form of government, the lack of democracy, ie, a dictatorship, is not all that terribly and mythically evil, just some dictators and tyrants are......
Tattoine, everybody was walking around and living a normal life....
The same thing with Cloud City....
The same thing with Hoth....
The same thing with Endor-no Ewok genocides or massacres going on there.....
Going from the movies alone, with no EU:
The Empire did not control Tatooine, the Hutts control Tatooine. The Imperial presence there was looking for the droids only.
The Empire did not control Cloud City, it was neutral, as Lando said; and when the Empire started to take Cloud City over, you'll remember that everyone ran for their lives.
Nothing lived on Hoth, as Han said. The only people living there were Rebels.
Nothing but Ewoks lived on the Sanctuary Moon; and they were a primitive civilization and weren't even a concern of the Empire, the Empire just put a base there.
