Because there's an unwritten universal law which states that fictional events in a galaxy far, far away must adhere to a tried political system on our cosmic piece of dust.
The law appearently doesn't even apply here. See democratic people's Republic of Korea, ruled by three generation of Royal kims, nor the Roman republic, whose last 400 years were ruled by a secession of monarchs, some hereditary, some not.
