You are confusing non-symetrical warfare tactics with the people who are using it.

Our colonies certainly used it on the British. Any resistance will uses these tactics on a larger force.

But fuck that "assigning roles form today's society" shit to this film.

The Jedis definitely had different goals than Al Qaeda.

BSG had the same issue - everything in BSG was supposed to draw a parallel between the U.S. and the terrorists - but what was missing in BSG there was an ACTUALLY GENOCIDE OF humans and destruction of the planet like 2 months before. Like a real one - not ideology - or a small attack that could precipitate a larger one, but robots DID murder billions of people and were chasing the remaining people.

So tactics are similar - goals and ideology are different.

And to remind you: We are rooting for the rebels in the movie, and against ISIS in real life.
