So Darth Vader and the Empire basically rule the world and are unhappy people and the Rebels are a small group of hippies and anarchists trying to bring them down?
The Empire appears to have all the power and they can blow up planets to make themselves feel better but what is the goal for their organization? Are there people in the Star Wars universe with office jobs or are there only soldiers or creatures who work at cantinas and flea markets?
