Skywalker and the rebellion only attacked combatants. Big difference there.

So you say there was no independent contractors building Death Star in Return of the Jedi ?

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.

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.

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.
