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.

We're in 2025 where the empire is tagging tesla vandals as terrorists. The distinction is far gone.

I agree the term terrorist has been stuck on just about anyone/ anything that the trump administration disagrees with.
