It seems to me that Lucas, while not wrong, has an overly simplistic view of how these things happen. I won't elaborate too much, as I anticipate this'll be a really long thread with that information given, but I will cite one point: economic factors.
Star Wars and Lucas don't ever focus on the issues of class separation and the poor. One of the reason people back these tyrants is because they feel the food on their table is in jeopardy. Put simply, these things don't happen by accident. If my kids are about to starve because I've lost my job to someone from another country, you'll be sure I'll back whoever will keep my child fed by limiting immigration.
Fortunately, I don't have to worry about that, and there are other options anyway. All I'm saying is that Lucas would like to think that these things happen without people noticing when in fact, people bring it about. They just don't notice how.
