[STAR-WARS] What is Civilian life under the Galactic Empire like? What are the opinions of the average Imperial Citizen?

In the Star Wars franchise, we see plenty of the Empire, we see it's Twin Ion-Engine Fighters, It's DS-01 and 02 Battle Stations, it's Star Destroyers, and it's countless Stormtroopers...but we never get that much of an idea of what life under the Empire is like outside of two Stormtroopers asking for some identification in Rogue One and a Military Checkpoint in a New Hope. This makes me ask, what is life like under the Empire and how does the average person living under the Empire feel about it all? Is support of the Rebel Alliance widespread or are the majority of Imperial citizens loyalists?

This depends entirely on two factors - species, and the planet's location.

Core worlds, which were majority human, saw daily life mostly the same as it was under the Republic, except more taxes and more military patrols.

Mid and Outer Rim worlds, and especially worlds that were predominantly non-human, didn't fare so well. Planets were mined to exhaustion, their people forced to work longer and longer hours for less pay, a large number of species were enslaved and several were wiped out.

The only real actually good thing that the Empire did for the Outer Rim was crack down on pirates and similar criminals.
