Yeah, I know what you mean. The Rebels in BF2 always shot my stormtrooper's dead body for some reason, as bots nonetheless. And I was thinking "And these are the good guys!"

One of the canon books, "Lost Stars", does a great job of showing that the Rebels weren't always doing the right thing. It follows two friends from their younger years as they join the Empire, become TIE fighter pilots, and eventually work on the Death Star. One of them eventually jumps ship and joins the Rebellion and the other continues to work in Death Squadron with Darth Vader and eventually commanded a Star Destroyer in the final battle of the Galactic Civil War. It showed that the Rebels killed millions and that the Empire's troops had feelings too and weren't just mindless robots; they served what they believed in.
