From The Empire's point of view...I think The Death Star exploding would be pretty near to the 911 disaster.

Except a million times worse...I mean, in both Legends AND Canon The Death Star bankrupted The Empire...BUT they still turned it around with a major PR campaign, y'know painting The Rebels as even worse terrorists than they were before, trying to get the whole Empire wanting revenge, that kind of thing.

They probably already referred to the rebellion as a terrorist organization

@vetguy1991 Yeah but still...nobody would really take them seriously, I mean, before The Death Star they were getting the shit kicked out of them.
