Whatever the case, the important thing to recognize is that the Empire is not committing random acts of terror. It is engaged in a fight for the survival of its regime against a violent group of rebels who are committed to its destruction.
Actually it is. As proved by the destruction of Alderaan.
Actually, it is committing determisistic acts of terror.

people are probably getting Tatooine and Dantooine mixed up.

He should have done the creation of the Roman Empire instead of Star Wars.
