Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

I'd say it's an easy spin in the Rebel Alliance's favor. The Galactic Republic was reformed into The Empire in response to corruption and poor policy as well as years of war. Systems traded autonomy for safety and prosperity, but receive nothing of the sort. Why? Because the reforms never addressed the issue, just codified ,solidified, and even expanded the power bases of the corrupt or incompetent that caused the problems in the first place.
Not really in the Rebel Alliance's favor.

The fact that the Imperial System can work undermines their rhetoric and reinforces the idea that the System can provide safety and prosperity (exhibit A: Minda)
 
New Republic historian gonna eventually throw a book to people's heads that explain that no, outlier is not the representative of the whole Galactic Empire full of horror and atrocities.

Or rather, a New Galactic Empire historian will point out that here, is when the seed for normal and civilized society was planted, that eventually resulted in the galaxy waking up.

I mean, it would be like the entire Asia decided they had enough corruption and totalitarian regimes and decided to become part of Singapore.
