I always ALWAYS support the rebels and even I don't support the rebel alliance cause the empire seem to be humming along pretty efficiently, they don't do anything really outright worse than the rebels.

I'm pretty sure the part where Grand Moff "That means I can boss Darth Fucking Vader" Tarkin blows up a populated planet just to be a dick is the case why The Empire is bad.
Also consider that the Empire is a direct outgrowth of The Republic - a natural extension of the emergency War Powers Palpatine got during the violent suppression of the separatist movement. It isn't necessary to spell out how the defeated seperatist systems are treated - they're colonies in service to the Imperial core.
That's why they call it an Empire.
