I don't think Mothma is actually a liberal really. Like shes a senator but she's playing pretend. Putting on a show. She is more similar to Bourgoise class traitors who sided with the proletariet in revolutions of the past. Which did happen. Engels, Lenin, etc. All born into rather wealthy backgrounds. She does have that kind of sheltered mindset of being shocked by violence, but that's normal for her to have given her life experiences, and she gets over it eventually.
This isnt to say shes a communist by any means btw. But she is very clearly a revolutionairy character. Liberals would be reformist at best.
