* '''Justified''': The existing regime is really [[CorruptPolitician corrupt]], [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating deeply unpopular]] and commits atrocities with impunity, leaving the people to live in CrapsackWorld. The revolution and rebellion includes characters who oppose the regime for coherent, logical and compelling reasons rather than an innate sense of self-righteousness. Will often include neutral characters who are otherwise apolitical (and so an Audience Stand-In) who finally decides to take a stand. Most common type in both fictional (''Franchise/StarWars'') and historical settings (''Film/{{Casablanca}}'').

If successful, can lead to a VelvetRevolution.
** The Rebellion are guilty of some DirtyBusiness themselves and some of those who stand with The Empire are less of a monster than others, but when comparing the two, it’s clear that despite said controversial actions in the name of the cause, the rebels are still doing the right thing in ridding the world of The Empire.
