It seems like Lucas missed out on civic classes. The Republic characters were insurrectionists and terrorists. The Jedi are evil guys, like ISIS. The movies are perfect examples of brainwashing, where you cheer for the bad guys (the Jedi) and condemn the good guys who want to restore law and tranquility to the galaxy (the empire, which only has one royal member, the emperor).
Or you know, it could be just modeled after the American revolution. Bare in mind the people you called good guys murder several billion just to make a point.
When you consider the scale of the galaxy and all of the inhabited worlds if you could stop an insurrection by destroying one planet wouldn't you do it? Did the empire have unlimited resources to occupy hundreds of millions of planets? How many life forms would die in a protracted galactic war?
