Bro, if your princess is the head of the fucking Rebel alliance you've got some dodgey shit going on.

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.

Firstly, we don't really know htis in the movies, there are coded references to the republic and that's it. I talking before Prequel bollocks.
An empire doesn't necessarily mean automatically its bad. Mabe it's a benevolent empire fuelled by cooperative interests. If you are going to have a villainous empire, at least tell us why.
What are the rebel alliance going to replace it with? We don't know. They don't tell us. Maybe the Rebel alliance is going to replace it with a worse empire.
