There’s a difference between utilizing and agreeing with extremists, which they aren’t doing, and trying to charge them with war crimes and distancing themselves, which they are doing.
Just because someone on the left shoots someone on the right doesn’t make every left a murderer. This is the logic you’re applying here, and isn’t how life or anything works. You are just wrong here.
There’s a reason you’re using the word terrorist instead of Rebel or Imperial, now isn’t that weird? Why separate them if they aren’t different…?
Exactly - we’ve allowed our government(s) to dilute the definition of terrorism through constant misuse. It’s not terrorism to attack military targets, even if the attacker is a stateless actor. Similarly, it is terrorism to attack civilians, even when perpetrated by a government. Terrorism is not simply a catch-all term for unsanctioned violence.
Ukraine is attacking Russia’s oil infrastructure because it is funding the Russian war machine. They are valid targets, despite being run by civilians. I wish them good hunting.
Yeah, the Rebellion we are shown through its heroes are not terrorists, they are a guerilla army. They don’t want to break the Empire through citizen revolt after sowing mass unrest; they make precision strikes on military infrastructure and assassinate critical Imperial officials.
Skywalker and the rebellion only attacked combatants. Big difference there.
That’s movie niceness. There’s another faction of the rebellion they comes up a few times that has no such qualms.
Also are you really telling me everyone on the death star and whatever planet in the sequels was a combatant
There will always be extremists, but that doesn’t make it their core policy. And also, most extremism is guerilla from the other side, so false flags.
It’s literally impossible for there not to some faction that goes against the norm, that’s just human nature.
So so you apply the same logic to real life “terrorists”?
That’s how things works, yes.

I don’t know who you’re arguing against, but it ain’t me
So you say there was no independent contractors building Death Star in Return of the Jedi ?
They knew what they were signing up for.
Did they tho? Empire’s propaganda has near endless resources and reach.
If you work on a military installation during a war, you shouldn’t be surprised to find yourself in the middle of an attack.

So you’re saying the state of Israel is terrorists?
Are you saying they aren’t?
No 😂
I am.
The people rebuilding the Death Star weren’t combatants.
Also, didn’t Stellan Skarsgard do some morally questionable shit in Andor?
WTF? Of course they are.
Anyone working on a military base during a war is a combatant. They are contributing directly to the war effort.
In a society committed to total war, that argument can be used against civilians.

But there must’ve been a death star canteen, yeah? There must’ve been a cafeteria downstairs.
There are chefs and janitors on aircraft carriers.
I want the penne all’arrabbiata.
You’ll need a tray
This one’s wet…
Saw Gererra would like a word.
The extremist that they want nothing to do with…? That’s helping their case by bringing them up.
When the Rebels establish themselves in planets like Hoth or in the moon of Endor, do you think they don’t subjugate the locals?
There was nothing of the kind in the movies, so that’s just speculation on your part.
