Reagan literally had a "Star Wars" program to put lasers in space. This is, somehow, not new to American conservatism.

They already quoted Thanos' "I am inevitable". Specifically the one right before he dies.

Look.
I love the "Empire did nothing wrong" movement. It's patriotic.
But they blew up Alderaan.

Alderaan was Leia's home planet, with a huge civilisation comprising as many loyalists and rebels as any other planet. It'd be like blowing up Austin, or something like that.

At the end, they move to blow up Yavin-4, the planet where the rebels have set up base. Presumably, other people live there, too.

The trouble with a planet-killing weapon is that there will always be civilian casualties. No matter how hard you justify it with the existence of the rebels on that planet, you're still committing mass murder on a literal global scale.

And the torture.

To be fair, they were interrogating a suspected terrorist to get information on the location of her terrorist friends. We don't see how the interrogation robot works, so it's hard to tell if it's incredibly painful or a simple mind probe. Given that she defends against it with the Force without even knowing she has it, I'd assume it's more on the side of "information gathering" than "torture".

Just call it "enhanced interrogation techniques" like you want to.

The IO Droid has a big ass needle at the front of it.

I found this on the wiki
"When Leia Organa underwent her mind probe, she was injected with a powerful mind-altering hallucinogen that made her very susceptible to suggestion. With mere words from Darth Vader, Leia imagined herself in unbearable pain, though she was not undergoing any physical harm whatsoever"
So apparently, it usually does inflict a lot of damage, but Vader decided to not do that this time because... idk, they wanted to assure the fans Leia wasn't harmed?
