Well, just think of how the destruction of the Death Star impacted the budget! They were already in the red for just building the damn thing. And the cost of a Star Destroyer's single hyperspace jump is worth more than some planets' entire economy!

And I'm sure that destroying entire planets didn't help their finances either.

"There are whole star systems whose gross domestic product is less than the cost of a single Imperial Destroyer. There are whole nations which, throughout their entire history, do not use as much energy as an Imperial expends to make a single hyperspace jump."
