It dawn on me today that I call the rebels scum so now we have scum and villainy? So what do I do saying Rebel Scum just seems like a wasted breathe because scum is just perfect but now people might think third faction so what do I do?

If they're not Imperial, they're Scum.

First, take a deep breath.

It is scum and rebel scum.

Villainous Scum and Rebel Scum?

All scum are the traitorous enemies of the legitimate government. There's no real difference.

Rebels and scum are all the same; terrorists in the eyes of the true and just Empire.

Hail the Emperor!

I don't see an issue rebels are scum, bounty hunters are scrum, aliens are scrum.

We imperials have enough disdain for all.

I would never call the rebels scum. It's bad sport to humanize one's targets.
