Is a pit bull bred to fight evil by choice, or by happenstance?
But you are saying theoretically, the Rebel use of force against the Empire is justified, or essentially two wrongs can make a right.
However in a similar situation the Americans were not justified in using A-bombs against Japan to end the war.

1- This is not a similar situation to America using the A-bomb. Not only that I've pretty much spent the entire thread explaining why it was unjustified and I don't really want to do it again but to cut a long story short.. Japan had been seeking avenues to surrender as early as 1943, the Japanese forces were all but defeated and it was only a matter of time before they did surrender. This is something that US intelligence at the time was claiming. (however the president insisted that the a bombs be dropped causing immense suffering for generations to come).
2- You're overthinking Star wars. I said I refuse to go along with a Star wars narrative of history where one side is caricaturized as good and the other evil.
3- I would still say that the destruction of the death star was justified.
