They were more like rebels. Which is still not a good thing.
Destroying the Death Star and ALL the crew onboard though is akin to a TREMENDOUS terrorist attack.
[quote]The first Death Star is depicted in various sources of having a crew of 265,675, as well as 52,276 gunners, 607,360 troops, 30,984 stormtroopers, 42,782 ship support staff, and 180,216 pilots and support crew.

Death Star II:
[quote]Crew (485,560), Gunners (152,275), Troops (1,295,950), Infantry (127,570), Technical personnel (75,860), Pilots (334,432)[/quote]
I assume most of the crew signed up figuring it was a safe and easy military job being on the near-indestructible Imperial flagship.
All that needed to be done was to kill the higher ups; the Empire travels in a single ship so killing him mid transition wouldn't be that impossible, and Death vader partakes in actual fights often enough to come upon and kill him that way; he even boards a ship and fights when the Death Star gets assaulted.

@Teirdalin right and it's not the first time they did it. Star killer base, the second Death Star, and more importantly they don't even have a plan as to what they would do if they won. There would be a power vacuum and cause massive civil wars. Also the destruction of the Death Star would absolutely CRIPPLE the galaxy economic structure.

No. Terrorists intentionally target civilians to spread terror through a population in an attempt at forcing them into a political, social, or religious change.
We need to stop watering down what terrorism is.

the difference between a rebel and a terrorist is often largely a product of viewpoint or propaganda

I will admit the rebels never actually targeted non military strongholds

They did kill innocent people
