Except the rebels want to restore a democracy in the Original Trilogy.

Technically, it's never stated which form of government (if any) the rebellion wants to create after the empire is gone.

Hmm... But we do know a princess and at least one ex senator leads the rebellion.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

The princess was also a senator.

One ex-senator also leads the empire

I don't think that there's anything close to a positively defined political agenda in the original text. At least none that were there on purpose.

I've only seen Andor so I don't know if the lore was stated or implied in the original trilogy, but aren't the rebellion an alliance of multiple revolutionary groups with different ideas for what comes after, but more broadly want to restore the Republic?

Andor was more poliyical than anything before in Star Wars. And even there, they had anarchists. (But yeah, they lean towards the system that got them the empire)
