Yeah, no. The Galactic Empire brought order to the galaxy (and a little bit of mass murder). The US has done far worse, and any good we were doing like USAID is being reversed by our small pp energy dictator.
The OG Star Wars is literally an allegory for the Vietnam War where the Vietcong are the rebels, with sci-fi nazi aesthetics (and space wizards). The USA is quite literally the Galactic Empire in that metaphor.

I have no source - just college lit classes.

You wrote that the difference was active and not covenient extermination. Is shooting buffalos only convenient?
Annihilating an entire planet is fine as long as there is order?
No… those are all the literal meaning of metaphorical.
