[Star Wars] AITA for killing a bunch of nomadic tribesmen?

Hey guys, 19M here. To explain, I've been under a lot of stress these days. Specifically, I reconnected with my first love (24F) after a long time apart and that's a whole story in and of itself. We have different jobs that take us away from each other, but by chance I managed to see her.

The main thing that's been my biggest worry is that I've been worried a lot about my mom. When I was a kid, she sacrificed a lot for me to give me the chance to make something of myself, and I ended up leaving her behind to get to an exclusive year round boarding school that only a tiny portion of the populace gets to go to. I've been lucky there and have a great teacher who's more like a brother to me than anything else. But in the back of my head, I always worried about my mom.

I had the chance to go back to my old hometown recently and found out that she got out of that place and got remarried to a local farmer. Yeah, big shock. I even have a stepbrother. So I'm just there at the farm meeting these new people and reeling from the news but I don’t see my mom. It turns out that the Farm is being harassed by a bunch of bandits and nomads and they stole my mom. Her new husband and stepson couldn't even help her! Needless to say I got mad. Not to brag or anything, but I'm pretty handy at fighting and scouting so I went and tracked her down.

When I found her though, she was literally seconds away from dying. The tribesmen had been torturing her. It feels awful to say this even now but I saw her die in front of me just seconds after seeing her again for the first time in ten years. The first person, and maybe the person who loved me the most with no expectations from me. I got really mad right after that. I told you I was good at fighting right? Well basically, I killed everyone in the camp. I killed them all. Not just the men but even the women and the children. Stuck in a culture like that, chances were good that they'd just target other people just like my mom. In some way, I stopped some other guy from feeling the pain I'm feeling now I guess.

But after I took my mom's body back for the funeral, I started thinking. Did I overreact to her death? My GF told me that being angry is normal, but my teachers definitely wouldn't approve.

AITA?

Yes. Tusken raiders are dangerous but you killed children and noncombatants. Killing the warriors and torturers in a moment of blind rage is one thing. But killing children and cowering women and elder tuskens that posed no threat is inexcusable. You've set in motion a chain of events that will lead to decades of violence and ritualized slaughter dooming countless innocents to death because you couldn't help yourself.
