pretty sure you're supposed to plug in exaggerated notions of liberalism for the rebels and cartoon fascism for the empire. The books are the only thing I know that actually describes what the empire thinks and I could get into that but then I'd have to admit as a child I read Star Wars novels.
Alright, in short, the Empire is just fascist. Although it's different in a lot of ways than in real life, because magic exists. Their overarching ideology is almost a copy and paste of what Nazis said about themselves, except with Jedi instead of communists. The Empire blames every problem it has on non-human species or Jedi provocateurs. Their ideology is built around managing a huge central state and expansionist military operations. All organized religion is illegal too, but that's a sweeping measure to stamp out any potential Jedi. You gotta remember this is a fictional universe where one religion has absolute proof it's correct and being a follower gives you superpowers.
I think I remember one book slyly talking about the empire's need for child rearing, so I'm pretty sure they were heteronormative.
All the aspects of Imperial ideology are about channeling power up to the Emperor, but power I mean actual magical powers. The more people who live in fear, the more the Emperor gains mastery over the dark side.
Nah bro, I read everything as a child. The most embarrassing thing was the Mary Kate and Ashley Detective novels, there's like 50+ of them and I read every single one. The star wars books were all over the place in terms of quality but I wouldn't be embarrassed about reading them.
