Template:OrganizationThe Alliance to Restore the Republic (commonly known as the Rebel Alliance, and, informally, as the Rebellion) is an interstellar faction of the fictional universe of Star Wars.
As a direct reaction to the Galactic Empire, the Rebel Alliance warred throughout the Star Wars galaxy for restoring the ideals and format of the Old Republic. The Rebel Alliance was featured in the original trilogy of films, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, as the main protagonists of the films. The origins of the Rebel Alliance are depicted in the Disney XD series Star Wars Rebels, set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.
Between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, the Rebel Alliance was reorganized into the New Republic, with Mon Mothma as it's first Chancellor. The Republic signed the Galactic Concordance with the Galactic Empire establishing the Republic as the daminat Galactic Goverment and reducing the Empire to a rump state.
