They showed many planets at the end of RotJ [1] where massive celebrations occurred, including Coruscant. I think these celebrations speak to the rebellion's support.

>It's just that arguments that you choose to prove that are not working.

There's nothing to prove. The belief that a people have the right to topple their dictators is subjective. I can only prove something if we share the same axioms.

How do you define who's a dictator and who's not?

If Winston Churchill have acquired more executional powers during WWII to get through mind-boggling beurocracy, would you call him dictator, for example?

You're trying to prove a statement that is true, but your proof is abysmal.

Not at the time the Empire was formed, though.
