[Star Wars] Were there any benefits the Empire could provide its citizens that the Republic couldn’t? Would anyone besides military personnel and politicians have benefited from the regime change?

The Republic was the very picture of a bureaucracy.  Word has it that when Naboo came under an illegal siege by the Trade Federation, the slow-burning process of a Senate hearing was the fastest option.  Days, weeks, possibly months of proceedings while Republic citizens were subjugated by an army of metal and malice.  And those proceedings would be on whether or not to send aid in the first place, Ashla only knows how long it would take to decide when, how much, and how often.

No such problem under the Empire.  If an Imperial world came under the same kind of threat, the Empire would waste no time in getting a fleet in orbit, targeting key points, and unseating the rogue power.  They would rebuild, reestablish control, and leave a garrison for good measure.

In fact, Queen Amidala's journey is a good measurement for this.  Under the Empire, the Trade Federation incursion would have been dealt with by the time she reached Coruscant.
