The anarchist group Revolutionary Edge Brigade was considered a revolutionary group, and often engaged in bank robberies and various forms of terrorism during the Old Republic. During the lead up to the Naboo Crisis in 33 BBY, the Revolutionary Purist Council took over Ootoola by murdering their monarch due to the latter not being considered "pure enough." The Rebel Alliance, as well as their fight against the Galactic Empire, was referred to as revolutionaries as well as a revolution, respectively, by either the Empire itself or neutral parties such as then-smuggler Han Solo shortly after rescuing the Rebel leader, Alderaanian princess Leia Organa. They also inspired similar revolutionary movements, a notable example being the Drogheda Revolutionaries post-Battle of Endor. After taking over the Imperial Palace, they also proceeded to loot and massacre several of the servants inside.
