i never considered his alliance with tigerstar to be a rebellion, in all honesty. tigerstar won shadowclan's favor through helping them when they were racked by the carrionplace disease - it wasn't like shadowclan didn't want him, they all thought he was the rightful leader and that he would restore them to greatness. and in a way, he did.

a lot of what blackstar did was out of loyalty to his clan and the warrior code, despite some of the severe mistakes he made (forsaking starclan, killing stonefur / rosetail, etc.) it's unfortunate part of the code is the leader's word is law. i imagine blackstar may have opposed brokenstar's treatment of his clan-mates more if he didn't feel obligated to follow that rule.
