(Now I wish Star Wars was like that where Anakin was always good in the prequel, Jedi truly corrupt in evil way, and Luke and maybe Leia too joining their father.)
No the rebels wouldn't have to be evil. Not wanting to be under an autocracy doesn't make you evil. Not every conflict needs to be lumped into a good side and evil side. For instance in an Eastern style story like Princess Mononoke, it's human outcasts fighting with the animals of the forest, both have their motivations to fight but neither side is righteous or evil.
