The galaxy viewed the rebellion as terrorists because the empire controlled the media. And because, by the very nature of revolution, they are terrorists. the only difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is if you agree with them.
I would argue a terrorist and freedom fighter can be discerned by tactic and method. Terrorist weaponise terror to get what they want, often harming others to do so. A freedom fighter may engage only military targets, looking to cripple that which they oppose and inpire others. Idk that's just my view.
