 | | In the fictional Star Wars universe, the Rebel Alliance, or more formally, the Alliance to Restore the Republic, was an interstellar political resistance force formed in direct military opposition to the Galactic Empire. |
 | | It is not yet known exactly when the Alliance formed, but we do know it was at some point during the onset of the Galactic Civil War when Chancellor Palpatine transformed the Galactic Republic into the Empire with himself as Emperor. |
 | | The Alliance suffered a setback on Hoth when one of their main bases was overrun by Darth Vader's forces, but eventually they later managed to mass a fleet to destroy the second Death Star in the Battle of Endor in which both the Emperor and Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker were also killed. |
