Han Solo had a great quote about this in Legends content when an Imperial tells him the Empire would have handled the current extragalactic invasion better than the New Republic.

They would have spent billions of credits, employed thousands of contractors and subcontractors, and equipped it with the latest in death-dealing technology. And you know what would have happened? It wouldn't have worked.

pogo_rabid 05/04/21 9:54:48 PM #27:	If the palpatine was evil, why did the core prosper under his rule? Since when was it a crime to be a sith? Or to defend one's self from traitorous Jedi? Is it wrong to destroy a harbor of the enemy, a planet destroyed yes but for the good of the galaxy. Destroying Alderaan was excessive, but Governor Tarkin was responsible for that, not Palpatine. Further consider that there are 50 million populated worlds in Star Wars (had to google that). So if the population of the galaxy were that of earth - Alderan would account for 160 people (rounding up). 2019 - probably the most peaceful year in human history saw over 100k war deaths. If the empire prevented even a tiny fraction of war within the galaxy it easily outweighs the destruction of one planet. Do you remember the peace and prosperity of the old republic? Of course you don't! It was chaos, endless civil war and a nightmarish bureaucracy. Who brought peace? Who brought prosperity? It was the Empire! Who reformed the senate and decentralized power? It was the Emperor! He wasnt evil. But what he wanted wasnt in line with what some wanted so they rebelled. The empire was bringing order and prosperity to the galaxy but the rebel terrorists preferred the freedom that came with the chaos instead. And because the movies are all from the perspective of the Jedi or the rebels it makes the empire as a whole seem evil.
