Return of the Jedi. Terrorists blew up a government base and assassinated the duly elected leader.

Nice try Imp. He wasn't "duly elected" he orchestrated the invasion of his own planet to facilitate the removal of Supreme Chancellor Valorim. He then manipulated the sympathy for Naboos crisis, that he manufactured, to get himself "elected".
He then waged a war against his own Republic (a crime that surely would have seen him removed as supreme Chancellor) to leverage the Senate into granting him emergency powers.
He used those illegally obtained emergency powers to stage a military coup and overthrow the true legit government, and install his corrupt puppet government.
Once the Deathstar was complete he dissolved even that illusion.
The Rebels at the time of ROTJ are a legitimate military force, composed of many planets and systems, some of which where never even part of the Republic, attacking a valid military target.
