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.

War winning is as much about making an impressive points as about degrading the enemy's ability to resist. Hence Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
