Hot take:

The Galactic Empire is portrayed as bad mainly due to it's execution of power. The Empire's ideals of order and stability don't actually seem so bad in theory. Even the Mandolorian spin-off show supports this perspective.

    Whose order, stability for who? Order and stability are features of a system, not ideological beliefs. Pretty much everyone wants order and stability in the abstract, the problem is when the order is an extractive fascist police state that devastates planets and wipes out cultures so that the people perpetuating it can enjoy stability at everyone else's expense.
