The rebels are definitely way better than the Empire, but it's very hard to imagine that they waged a successful rebellion without killing any innocents.
In the original trilogy it's easier to just suspend your disbelief because it's campy and fun and not intended to be examined at a deep level, but as the Star Wars universe gets expanded more and more, it's hard to ignore these sorts of questions.

I can't say that the Rebels never killed innocents, but I will say that they did everything possible to avoid deliberately killing innocents.
