[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 7594031, member: 7808"] For starters, there's the [URL="https://www.theforce.net/swtc/holocaust.html"]Endor Holocaust[/URL]. And even though I would categorically reject your arbitrary decision to remove military targets from the discussions, there's the well known problem that the [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQdDRrcAOjA"]Death Star II was unfinished[/URL] and wouldn't completely fit in that category. Even beyond those examples, though, Rogue One openly discusses the fact that they are violent terrorists. A central point of the movie is that the Rebels are formed by an Alliance of existing terrorist cells. And there is significant debate around the fact that many of the cells find other groups (e.g. Saw Gerrera) to be too violent to work with. Nevertheless, the leadership is eventually willing to work with all of the most violent members in the name of taking down the legitimate government. On a very related note, can you think of any examples of the Rebels doing anything non-violent for the people of the galaxy? Their victories are all battles. Their bases are all military installations. It's not like we ever see them involved in humanitarian efforts or even see families on their ships or bases. They are a religious military organization bent on physically destroying the politically established government and replacing it with their theocracy. Violent terrorists. Note: I am only considering the movies. IMNSHO, the discussion of politics in the EU is very different than politics in the movies. [/QUOTE]
