[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7594800, member: 6704184"] Rebels. The word you’re searching for is rebels. Revolutionaries kinda works, too, but since they’re fighting a tyrannical dictator who abolished the democratic governing body, it doesn’t seem as apt as rebels. Resistance fighters or freedom fighters also works. They avoid killing civilians, even to the point of avoiding civilians who support the wholly illegitimate imperial government, and are engaged in a revolutionary war to restore the legitimate government. The fact that they mostly all believe in the force also doesn’t magically make them religious extremists, since they aren’t using religious dogma to justify violence. They’re saying “space Godspeed” to each other before going into danger. There is literally nothing in the OT that suggests that anyone in the Alliance was looking to put the Jedi back into a seat of power within the Republic government, and your claim that the Old Republic is a theocracy because it features an order of Knights dedicated maintaining peace and order as an advisory body, and a specialized military tool is specious. There is no evidence that the people of the Republic have to submit to Jedi religious practice. In fact, we know that they don’t, because joining the Jedi ain’t a requirement of joining the Republic, even on worlds that have strong non-Jedi Force Traditions. The Empire, on the other hand, are actual terrorists. They are a terrorist government, as Fascists and other totalitarians often are if they don’t have more powerful neighbors to keep them in check.
