Each of the four (decent) films and the cartoons that comprise the 'Star Wars' story tell that story entirely from the perspective of the unified political/religious forces that is the Jedi/Rebel Alliance.

This is the effective equivalent of studying the 'War on Terror' by ONLY examining source material from Islam and Al Qaeda. In short, we have not received a balanced assessment of this (fictional) conflict.
However, now that movies like 'Rogue 1' are examining individual events outside the Anakin/Luke storyline, perhaps they could produce a movie showing what motivates non-clones to support and join the Empire.
One obvious motivation could stem from the heavy-handed tyrannical actions of the Jedi-Council during the 'Clone Wars' which could/would make them the enemy of any group that valued their individual freedom and autonomy.
As a matter of fact, there is already an animated movie named 'Tie Fighter' that shows a battle from the perspective of the Empire and introduces characters from the Empire whose stories would be worth exploring on the big screen;
For example;
What motivated the three central pilots to join the Empire?
How did the female pilot receive that scare (was it at the hand of a Jedi/Republic Soldier occupying her homeworld)?
Did the Empire provide opportunities for female pilots that the Rebel Alliance did not? (remember; So far we've only seen one female pilot in a Rebel action, namely Rey, and she pilots the Millennium Falcon, which is not a Rebel ship, but belongs to a smuggler).
What values does the Empire hold that made it appealing to these non-clone pilots?
etc.
