Using slave labor, among other things, even without getting into the droid stuff. The very idea of them gets introduced when the Trade Federation, a core Separatist power bloc, tries to conquer Naboo over a trade dispute.
Why the hell don’t Star Wars fans understand Star Wars, it’s not that deep.
I don’t know that I believe George Lucas actually thought the Republic wasn’t the “good guy” at some level.
A story of that “good guy” finally falling to the worst form of corruption, sure, but what would the plot have become if Anakin resisted the Dark Side? Palpatine gets found out, the Jedi realize they’ve lost touch and start an anti-corruption crusade but keep defending the status quo?
Not once do the works ever, ever wonder how a galactic society with apparently unlimited energy and a robot slave labor force has biological poverty. It never questions whether The Republic is inherently damaged, ideologically, it just yearns for some time where a Sith wasn’t running the show.
