    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. Doubly so when it’s a well established and common espionage tactic.

      It’s not movie niceness, it’s how real life is so most know to ignore it, since it’s likely the enemies doing it anyways. And if not, how is it proved?

          That’s how things works, yes.

          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…?

          Wanting to kill all lefts because of the actions of one that goes against the group makes you the bad guy, you understand this very simple concept yeah?

        Even if you count every single person in a military area as a combatant

        What about prisoners?

          Collateral damage isn’t terrorism.
          They’re blowing up a death star ffs, not a city bus.
          They main difference is that terrorists will target only civilians as a way to get a message across… A rebel will target the military and oppressive forces, and regret that civilians were killed on accident.
