The Galactic Empire consists of
two general regions; first, the inner worlds, which are considered the
important part. The outer rim, a broad area, includes various low-value
balls of rock like Tattooine, which the Empire could hardly care less
about - some script editions and the novels have Luke's friends on
Tattooine guessing it would be unlikely the Empire would even fight to
keep a system like Tattooine.
In general, the Rebels are funded, organized, and draw most of their
strength from the inner worlds, but mostly operate within the outer rim
to avoid detection.
The Empire has been "imperializing"
private property, in a curious echo of cold war rhetoric; at the same
time, Imperial stormtroopers are described as "facist." It is unclear
precisely what political ideology the Empire follows, but it is clearly
intended to be unpalatable to the audience.
