I fail to see the logic. You're presuming their innocence because they had no choice. I'm NOT presuming their guilt just saying that as military they were legitimate targets

You're taking this way too seriously. Star Wars is a work of fiction. Whatever is presented in the movies or considered lore via the many books and video games considered canon is the way it was as was intended by George Lucas and the various minds that helped build this fictional universe. You can't just make up conspiracies.

I have no problem with that. Being subject to propaganda is not an excuse for committing atrocities though and does not make you innocent by default.

If it's considered canon by Lucas then what's the problem?
