Its more like the fact that the separatist started hostilities by trying to assassinate amidala, and with the trade federation blockaded naboo. If I were the jedi or the Republic I would have started close tabs on the separatist the moment they blockaded naboo, and after the invasion of naboo.
zach kapsh When the Trade Federation attacked Naboo the CIS didn’t even exist yet so that’s not really a reason. That’s where it all started for the sith plan, but not what the galaxy at large would claim.
@@zkapsh #1 When the trade federation blockaded Naboo it wasn't a member of the C.I.S. #2 the trial for the Naboo blockade/Invasion ended years before AOTC, it was no longer relevant as punishment had already been given out after Nite Gunray had to testify before the galactic Senate. #3 The flaw in this I the disgusting investigation process that Obi goes through. Let's say an assassin tries to kill a U.S. senator so an FBI agent is investigating. That agent tracks that assassin to Mexico or something and once found the assassin flees to Russia. That FBI agent proceeds without authorization to go into Russia, THEN spies on a meeting within the executive branch of the Russian government (or whatever, I don't know how the Russian government works) then the Russians discover this spy, tries him and sentences him to death, then the United States launches a full scale invasion of Russia. Even though the FBI agent entered that foreign nation illegally and without any authorization and for some reason decided to spy on Putin in the Kremlin. That's basically what happened, Geonosis wasn't part of the republic, it was a foreign nation and Obi (as much as I like him) did something pretty shady... Oh then the US senator travels to Russia illegally, then murders a bunch of people (Anakin and Padme killed those bug people who were just defending their home)
@@codyrex0707 Except my understanding is it was not went to Russia. It was trail leads to Mexico. Find assassin working to make an army for US. Follow assassin to deserted section of Texas (Geonosis being in Republic space) And find senators conspiring with isolationist militias. FBI grabs army and heads into Waco to gunship rescue senator and agents. Civil war erupts.
The CIS has always been one of my favorite Star Wars factions. I feel like without the Sith pulling the strings they could’ve become a strong, significant galactic power in their own right.
They would have won. Clones probably wouldn't have existed, and most nonclone armies were steam rolled by them. Not to mention they probably wouldn't have waged war to begin with.

I also remember the series getting canceled because so many jedibois were salty and seething over the fact their favorites were getting called out.

I forget the name of the Clone Wars episode but the one that featured the Separatist Senate with Dooku’s hologram leading the debates and being amicable was interesting. While the CIS senate was making plans to bridge a peace with the Republic and actually work through their issues, the real evils of Dooku and Sideous were hard at work sabotaging these efforts and making the CIS look worse and worse. All these worlds that left the Republic wanted was a voice, which they felt wasn’t heard at all, and these Sith made sure that whatever they had to say fell on deaf ears.
There is no timeline in which, even with the element of surprise, any clone kills the Chosen One. Plus, there's a strong likelihood that Anakin was exempted from the order in advance anyway.

The Battle of Jabiim is a good example of showing how the Separatists had helped worlds as well. After all, they had helped the Jabiim people in ways that the Republic didn’t.
Jabiim is like the Kuwait of Star Wars. Some insignificant little country that no one cares about until you discover that they are rich in oil fields beyond your wildest dreams. Then all of sudden, The Republic comes kicking the door down in the name of "freedom and democracy".

OOM- 32 and when he gets to kill the people that let his world suffer, he lets loose his psychopath for a while. Which is all well deserved since he basically lost his family, love, and honor to a corrupt government that basically spat in their face for help and listened to the horrible lies of the Huk. Grievous honestly coulda been a great Jedi had he been more attuned with The Force.
@@XplodingTurtle well from general grievous's point of view the Jedi are evil. And he did have a point If a government did nothing to help your people, and you help yourselves only for the aggressors to get help from the very same government who are supposed to intergalactic peacekeepers ( with the Jedi order). And afterwards the sanctions they put on his poeple caused them poverty and some died of starvation. The Jedi grew arrogant and short sighted. They to grievous became the very thing they wanted to destroy.
Anouk Amerasekera atleast the jedi didnt kill anyone who crossed their path. And the jedi cant really do anything with the republic breathing in their necks
Suppose there are still space hicks on backwater worlds with heavily modified spaceships with massive CIS flags chanting “The Seps will rise again!!” ??
But was General Grievous really that evil? He got screwed over by the Republic and the Jedi, causing many of his people to die out. He was pretty justified for acting out.
Yeah he seems warranted at first but he literally goes about killing innocent people who are in the way and doesnt feel remorse. He's a guy who would destroy a republic hospital without hesitation. It's like how with the Haitian revolution the slaves overthrew their masters but then went on a rampage and killed every white person they could find even if those people weren't slave owners
The separatists have always been my favorite faction in Star Wars. I’ve always found them to be the most interesting of all the factions from the main six eras
The story of Kalee was the best example of Republic incompetence and malice. It would be one thing if they just told the two worlds to play nice, but they actively sided with the side that was trying to _enslave_ the other. Even though Palpatine probably made this so, he would still have to get _someone_ within the republic to put forward that specific plan, and then convince enough people to go through with it.
This is one of the reasons why I side on the Confederacy of independent systems / the Separatist Alliance , being my favorites out of any of the factions in Star Wars.
@@rturae you also have to keep in mind that Dooku and Sideous manipulated his mind to make him more aggressive and violent when they were installing all his cybernetics.
I have always thought a interesting direction for a trilogy to go is that the regular people to finally become fed up with both the sith and jedi and start actively hunting them down with the goal of wiping out all the force sensitives due to how much blood they have on their hands.
I actually love the idea of driods army!. Cheaper and driods suited for all different hazards planets.if general g was and did played important part and he made more trades as some wherent giving enough of one things as some didn’t have enough armor tanks etc or some had huge naval but no troops and driods had small advantages of space of space battles. And I agree that rebuilcwasn’t the good guys we thought.
There were heroes and villains on both sides. The Republic had brave commanders such as Captain Rex, but also corrupt or bad commanders such as Pong Krell. The Separatist Senate was composed of decent people that truly wanted the planets of the CIS to change for the better, but the CIS was also plagued by greedy businessmen like Nute Gunray. The problem of the CIS is that their villains were more apparent than their heroes.
The dichotomy in the Clone Wars is this: The Republic has a corrupt government but, generally speaking morally conscious army; while the Separatists have a righteous government, but morally bankrupt army.
their army was not morally bankrupt. Only a few commanders and the droids on dookus direct leash were. Trench fought fair, umbarans fought fair, droids would offer clones FAR MORE OFTEN THAN NOT a chance to surrender to be POWs.
To be honest Grevious' bloodlust is understandable, since pre-cyborg, he was a commander who protected his species from the Huk who wanted to enslave his people. And when he started pushing them back the Republic sent Jedis which screwed it all up and made the Khaleesh seem like the bad guys. And after that he did get convinced that the Jedi were the ones who bombed his ship, and knowing that he already hated the Jedi it makes sense how he believed that.
@@blecao But many of the corporations would not have joined the CIS due to lack of the Sith making them less powerful and less likely to fight against the Republic. So while the Separatists would still have some droids, it wouldn't have been nearly to the same extent, while the Clone Army would be none existent. Interesting what would have happened in that case.
I'm hoping in the Cassian Andor TV series we get to see his childhood and the perspective of the Separatist since he was a Separatist during the Clone Wars.
this is the only thing i could find on it: The FN P90 was a submachine gun manufactured by Oriolanis Defense Systems and used by the New Republic. not sure how valid this is though
Hmm this has me thinking about if they ever choose to do a flip perspective where we see things from the viewpoint of the separatists. I honestly wonder how true that’d be to real life. I mean just look at Canada and how the western part of the country wants to split from the eastern side due to economics and whatnot. Ontario and Quebec is literally our inner system.
The Seppies are suprisingly a lot like the Zeons of the Gundam franchise, both comitted unspeakable atrocities and had evil people (The Sith, Zabi Family) leading them, evil people who hijacked independence movements.
8:10 The reason for the bann of the rikknit-eggs was the situation that the rikknit-species was close to extermination because of the harvesting! But it's right that the Nosaurians were discriminated by the Humans!
With the "Attention! Sergeant on deck!" It might be cool to have the sound of soldier's boots as they come to attention right afterwards. Love the map zoom intro, and everything about your videos. Keep up the great work! Is there any EU content that explores the earlier/nicer elements of the CIS? It seems as though we do lack too many details, and I suppose this era didn't have too much exploration until the prequels came out... at least not accurate info if I remember correctly from other awesome youtube SW content... It would have been nice if Grievous wanted a hug lol.
The prequels were an excellent lesson in civics. How all of the decisions made appeared to be so right a the time. Only to find out both sides were on strings being pulled by one person / entity. (Democrips and Rebloddlicans anyone?)
@@knivesmillions2913 She was the senator of Chandrila during the Clone Wars, yes. She appears in a deleted scene with Padme and Organa in Revenge of the Sith.
“Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hatred, hatred leads to the dark side” The Jedi are scared of chaos, they have in their mantra “there is no emotion, there is the force” yet all the early Jedi live for is to make sure peace is secured and happiness prevails. They try to think of themselves objectively neutral yet they fear the dark side to their very core. Their talk of peace is just a facade, just a mask to hide their emotions behind before they all fell to their knees in due time. *join the dark side, we have cookies*
Everyone says that a ton of Separatists and Separatist assets became part of the Rebel Alliance. The only examples in Canon and Legends combined are one carrier's worth of starfighters, one or two characters, and a couple cruisers.
This is unsupported by any evidence but very likely as a necessary evil. To counteract the overwhelming and underhanded tactics of the republic (for example, Anakin abusing a parlé and attacking during a truce or the assassination of a CIS Senator), I'm sure the Parliament supported some of Grievous' more extreme measures as a necessary escalation. However, there were very likely many individual members of the Parliament who abhored his brutal ways but were powerless to act, due to their power being sidelined. Furthermore, the CIS had a strong hold on propaganda and it's very unlikely that many of the true attrocities were distributed to the Parliament and instead only known to members of the Separatist Council. As such, I'm sure Grievous was very likely seen as a war hero throughout the CIS, much as Anakin was in the Republic. However, in truth, both were actually being shaped into genocidal maniacs by the horrors of war.
Grevious was a lot like Ghengius(I Probably misspelled that) Khan. He screwed over anyone who resisted and was brutal in tactics. But to his own people, the CIS people, he was actually nice
It's interesting that Grievous is cited as being one of the most evil individuals, the face of the evil CIS military. The thing is though, Grievous was never evil, he was vengeful, he had a righteous anger. But then Dooku put a rage "enhancer" in his brain, making him insanely aggressive, easily aggravated and cruel. So, HE as an individual was never evil, he was forced to be evil because something in his brain that a third party stuck there compelled him to be.
I always sympathized with the Confederacy. When I was really young, I always the droids were cute. As I grew older, and started looking into the story of Star Wars, General Greivous became my favorite character. Now, me as an intellectual, know a lot more about Star Wars than I used to, and I know of the initial intentions of the Separatists, and I sympathize with it. Also, their Navy is dope AF. I still think clones are badass though.
i want to see shows/movies that invert the original and the prequel trilogies showing the perspective of the written evils. seeing the people who we are told to not care about also go through the same if not worse experiences at the hands of the corrupt republic or the effects of the destruction that the rebels caused would show that the way things were handled were horrid on both sides.
Clones were just slaves. Hell, if one managed to defect, they get hunted down and killed. Not to mention Jabiim and Umbara. Yeah. Such heroism. FOR THE SEPARATIST ALLIANCE! INDEPENDENCE FOR THE OUTER RIM!
“The writers never let us see” _So where did all these stories come from??..._ In seriousness, tho, I’d love to see a major storyline made, which focused on the plight & efforts of members of a world that turned Separatist. We could see their struggles in the pre-Clone War Republic, their achievements under Separatist support, the propaganda they receive from their leaders, etc. In a sense, I guess it would be like the inverse of Rogue One. Whereas Rogue One shows us the unseen low points of the early Rebellion before their inevitable (pyrrhic) victory, here we could see the unseen heroics behind the Separatist cause, making its inevitable collapse that much more impactful. (And if we wanted to end on a hopeful note, we could show glimpses of the early Rebellion forming in the remnants of the Separatist die-hards.)
I think he means the stories and lore exists but most writers prefure useing them as villians for their jedi/clone protagonists. I personally would love a story about some separatists, showing all aspects. those that were wronged, those that see the flaws (but were personally less affected), the greedy and the hateful/evil. show them reacting to each other and the war (plus expanding, and portraying the droids more along movie lines rather than the clone wars lines [less talking and actually useing cover and crouching positions]) you could even go into the early empire and have some trialed as criminals, others become rebels and others (like the jabiim nationalists) who join the empire.

Maybe, but his acts weren’t confined to the Jedi. He slaughtered billions with his tactics.
Geostomp a lot of his actions were just what came from war. Plus his masters were who were really running what was going on. When it comes to war there’s really no rules
FatGuySurprise Please tell me that’s not actually his canon backstory and you’re just joking
@@MrFredstt The Huk War is Canon and Grievous developed his vendetta because the Republic sided with the Huk.
I wish more shows explored the crazy idea that sentient lifeforms and their societies are far complex than "we good, they bad. We only do good things, they just evil"
Same. I feel a lot of Star Wars falls into that very simplistic black and white worldview.
oh; I assure you Grievous is not actually evil.... He's more like a really, really tragic character with a broken will and basically mindwashed...
OOM- 32 and when he gets to kill the people that let his world suffer, he lets loose his psychopath for a while. Which is all well deserved since he basically lost his family, love, and honor to a corrupt government that basically spat in their face for help and listened to the horrible lies of the Huk. Grievous honestly coulda been a great Jedi had he been more attuned with The Force.
Still evil
@@XplodingTurtle well from general grievous's point of view the Jedi are evil. And he did have a point
If a government did nothing to help your people, and you help yourselves only for the aggressors to get help from the very same government who are supposed to intergalactic peacekeepers ( with the Jedi order).
And afterwards the sanctions they put on his poeple caused them poverty and some died of starvation.
The Jedi grew arrogant and short sighted. They to grievous became the very thing they wanted to destroy.
Anouk Amerasekera atleast the jedi didnt kill anyone who crossed their path. And the jedi cant really do anything with the republic breathing in their necks
Also, in legends the Seps fucked with his brain when he was cyborged to make him more animalistic. Not sure if that’s still canon.
Suppose there are still space hicks on backwater worlds with heavily modified spaceships with massive CIS flags chanting “The Seps will rise again!!” ??
The cis remnants became the rebels
Ya got damn right ya fuckin Yank the Sou... i mean the Seps will rize agian
They did rise again and won
They hack into Imperial ships PA system and blast Dixie as they attack
Will Meyers course we will the Anzat will crush all of the empire
But was General Grievous really that evil? He got screwed over by the Republic and the Jedi, causing many of his people to die out. He was pretty justified for acting out.
Yeah he seems warranted at first but he literally goes about killing innocent people who are in the way and doesnt feel remorse. He's a guy who would destroy a republic hospital without hesitation. It's like how with the Haitian revolution the slaves overthrew their masters but then went on a rampage and killed every white person they could find even if those people weren't slave owners
Acting out does not equal commiting xenocide.
The separatists have always been my favorite faction in Star Wars. I’ve always found them to be the most interesting of all the factions from the main six eras
What where the Seperatist fighting for?
„Acording to my programming: freedom from the tyranny of the republic.“ (General Kalani)
Grevious legends wise was also a result of a tragic backstory and sith brainwashing
"Oh no, general grievous is so evil"
meanwhile palpatine sipping his tea at republic hq
The CIS were good guys who were unknowingly playing into Palpatine’s hands.
It would all have been different if Dooku was not a traitor to the CIS.
8:06 why does the space man have a FN P90?
Wtf 😂
Most Star Wars guns are real guns. The Sterling and the C96 (Han Solo's blaster) being the most blatant.
Gloryseeking Spaceman also the T-21 used by the Empire is obviously a Lewis gun
Because it looks cool. Imagine a P90 that can rapid-fire plasma bolts
Just fucking imagine that a blaster firing 50 shots the speed of the p90
That would be so cool

The CIS was the Rebel Alliance of the Clone Wars.
The good side of the Separatists was definitely not the Senate.
It was the other Senate XD
the clones in a nutshell “we live as slaves to fight in somebody else’s war another day”
The story of Kalee was the best example of Republic incompetence and malice. It would be one thing if they just told the two worlds to play nice, but they actively sided with the side that was trying to _enslave_ the other. Even though Palpatine probably made this so, he would still have to get _someone_ within the republic to put forward that specific plan, and then convince enough people to go through with it.
I agree!! The separatist and sith were two different factions!! I saw that in the clone wars tv show!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is one of the reasons why I side on the Confederacy of independent systems / the Separatist Alliance , being my favorites out of any of the factions in Star Wars.
The Republic Senate wants to know your location
In my point of view, the Separatists are the good guys in the Clone Wars.
Grievous being evil is a stretch. After what the Jedi did to him, it’s understandable why he became the monster he did.
Understandable sure but his actions are still evil. The same can be said about Vader
It is curious but the corruption and ineffectiveness of the republic created General Grievous and Dart Tyranus ...
@@rturae you also have to keep in mind that Dooku and Sideous manipulated his mind to make him more aggressive and violent when they were installing all his cybernetics.
Oh boo hoo my body is shattered. That doesn’t give you an excuse to massacre innocents.
I actually like the CIS/Trade Federation
The CIS is also other factions.
When I was younger, I considered the empire to be the new republic, and the rebels the new separatists.
Well in legends the seps kinda are because many former seps later joined the rebelion
I have always thought a interesting direction for a trilogy to go is that the regular people to finally become fed up with both the sith and jedi and start actively hunting them down with the goal of wiping out all the force sensitives due to how much blood they have on their hands.
You could have a bounty hunter as the main character
@@innocentspringrain729 Or something like the sentinels from days of future past.
One thing I'd like to note it their use of droids rather than actual individuals for fighting more humane by far
I actually love the idea of driods army!. Cheaper and driods suited for all different hazards planets.if general g was and did played important part and he made more trades as some wherent giving enough of one things as some didn’t have enough armor tanks etc or some had huge naval but no troops and driods had small advantages of space of space battles. And I agree that rebuilcwasn’t the good guys we thought.
Absolutely amazing, thank you. On e you realize the all the events across Star Wars are part of the sith grand plan everything becomes grey.
Love your channel man keep on doing what your doing!
For the Confederacy of Independent Systems!!
There were heroes and villains on both sides. The Republic had brave commanders such as Captain Rex, but also corrupt or bad commanders such as Pong Krell.
The Separatist Senate was composed of decent people that truly wanted the planets of the CIS to change for the better, but the CIS was also plagued by greedy businessmen like Nute Gunray.
The problem of the CIS is that their villains were more apparent than their heroes.
8:13 My dude is packing a blaster P-90
The dichotomy in the Clone Wars is this: The Republic has a corrupt government but, generally speaking morally conscious army; while the Separatists have a righteous government, but morally bankrupt army.
their army was not morally bankrupt. Only a few commanders and the droids on dookus direct leash were. Trench fought fair, umbarans fought fair, droids would offer clones FAR MORE OFTEN THAN NOT a chance to surrender to be POWs.
This is why I liked the prequels and the clone wars era, because of the political and power dynamics in the world.
They were the good guys

10:00 I would LOVE to see how these two halves of the Alliance butted heads with each other, maybe in the upcoming Andor series?
To be honest Grevious' bloodlust is understandable, since pre-cyborg, he was a commander who protected his species from the Huk who wanted to enslave his people. And when he started pushing them back the Republic sent Jedis which screwed it all up and made the Khaleesh seem like the bad guys. And after that he did get convinced that the Jedi were the ones who bombed his ship, and knowing that he already hated the Jedi it makes sense how he believed that.
The CIS is my favorite Star wars faction. (If you couldn't tell from my profile pic lol)
Yes. The writers. The true villains.
8:10
Not sure what I'd do if Geralt came at me with a P90 and a goddamn Luger in a galaxy far far away.
Now just imagine if there were no Sith meddling during the Clone Wars. How interesting would these stories be then?
there woukd be no war, the republic had no clone army without thw sith and the separatist doesnt have a hand blocking theyr projects
the cis wins
@@blecao But many of the corporations would not have joined the CIS due to lack of the Sith making them less powerful and less likely to fight against the Republic.
So while the Separatists would still have some droids, it wouldn't have been nearly to the same extent, while the Clone Army would be none existent.
Interesting what would have happened in that case.
Something that’s been rattling in my head, when Rex removed his chip why didn’t he tell anakin about it to back up 5s’ story
I'm hoping in the Cassian Andor TV series we get to see his childhood and the perspective of the Separatist since he was a Separatist during the Clone Wars.
Separatists: we are actually good people guys.
*** meanwhile General grievous is wiping out entire planets
their was a blaster verion of the fnp90?! 8:11
this is the only thing i could find on it: The FN P90 was a submachine gun manufactured by Oriolanis Defense Systems and used by the New Republic. not sure how valid this is though
Nice.
Oh, for fuck's sake
And literally Luger P08 next to it.
Han Solo uses a C96.
And many soldiers (all sides I think) use a Sterling.
I don't see grievous as evil, he's on a mission of vengeance against the Jedi.
Hmm this has me thinking about if they ever choose to do a flip perspective where we see things from the viewpoint of the separatists.
I honestly wonder how true that’d be to real life. I mean just look at Canada and how the western part of the country wants to split from the eastern side due to economics and whatnot. Ontario and Quebec is literally our inner system.
Greedy corporations turning evil and committing war crime?
WHAT A TWIST!
The seperatists were good. Their Military etc was bad, just as you said.
Now that's great world building! Having the separatists as the adversary and hero in due time.
The Seppies are suprisingly a lot like the Zeons of the Gundam franchise, both comitted unspeakable atrocities and had evil people (The Sith, Zabi Family) leading them, evil people who hijacked independence movements.
8:10 The reason for the bann of the rikknit-eggs was the situation that the rikknit-species was close to extermination because of the harvesting! But it's right that the Nosaurians were discriminated by the Humans!

This video is kinda old now but just watched you again in a long time keep up the good content you're one of the best Star Wars youtubers

Yeah, they were just a proto rebel alliance with a lot more funding
Why did the Galactic Senate allow corporations to have representation?!
The faction that included the Bonteris was the best CIS faction.
With the "Attention! Sergeant on deck!" It might be cool to have the sound of soldier's boots as they come to attention right afterwards. Love the map zoom intro, and everything about your videos. Keep up the great work! Is there any EU content that explores the earlier/nicer elements of the CIS?
It seems as though we do lack too many details, and I suppose this era didn't have too much exploration until the prequels came out... at least not accurate info if I remember correctly from other awesome youtube SW content... It would have been nice if Grievous wanted a hug lol.
Cis: were good guys.

Are you willfully stupid? Autocorrect should have saved you with both words.
The prequels were an excellent lesson in civics. How all of the decisions made appeared to be so right a the time. Only to find out both sides were on strings being pulled by one person / entity. (Democrips and Rebloddlicans anyone?)
Anyone ever think that things in Star Wars could have played out more interestingly if it wasn't all linked back to a Sith plot?
Secession is Sedition, and the penalty is the same. - Commander Fox, probably.
The clones were technically enslaved child soldiers so hmm

“Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hatred, hatred leads to the dark side”
The Jedi are scared of chaos, they have in their mantra “there is no emotion, there is the force” yet all the early Jedi live for is to make sure peace is secured and happiness prevails. They try to think of themselves objectively neutral yet they fear the dark side to their very core. Their talk of peace is just a facade, just a mask to hide their emotions behind before they all fell to their knees in due time.

Everyone says that a ton of Separatists and Separatist assets became part of the Rebel Alliance. The only examples in Canon and Legends combined are one carrier's worth of starfighters, one or two characters, and a couple cruisers.
What did the separatist parlament think of Grievous?
This is unsupported by any evidence but very likely as a necessary evil. To counteract the overwhelming and underhanded tactics of the republic (for example, Anakin abusing a parlé and attacking during a truce or the assassination of a CIS Senator), I'm sure the Parliament supported some of Grievous' more extreme measures as a necessary escalation. However, there were very likely many individual members of the Parliament who abhored his brutal ways but were powerless to act, due to their power being sidelined. Furthermore, the CIS had a strong hold on propaganda and it's very unlikely that many of the true attrocities were distributed to the Parliament and instead only known to members of the Separatist Council. As such, I'm sure Grievous was very likely seen as a war hero throughout the CIS, much as Anakin was in the Republic. However, in truth, both were actually being shaped into genocidal maniacs by the horrors of war.
-i held canon clone wars book writers at gunpoint to have this written for propoganda-
"While nobody is denying the evil of general grevious, the sith, or the separatist council..."
*Raises hand* I am though, at least the last one-
yeah the council wasn't evil, just war profiteers and greedy.
@@matthiuskoenig3378 that’s why they’re evil
Grevious was a lot like Ghengius(I Probably misspelled that) Khan.
He screwed over anyone who resisted and was brutal in tactics.
But to his own people, the CIS people, he was actually nice
It's interesting that Grievous is cited as being one of the most evil individuals, the face of the evil CIS military.
The thing is though, Grievous was never evil, he was vengeful, he had a righteous anger.
But then Dooku put a rage "enhancer" in his brain, making him insanely aggressive, easily aggravated and cruel.
So, HE as an individual was never evil, he was forced to be evil because something in his brain that a third party stuck there compelled him to be.
" a droids are great as we don't need to kill anyone" clones show up " wait are those people what the hell"
I always sympathized with the Confederacy. When I was really young, I always the droids were cute. As I grew older, and started looking into the story of Star Wars, General Greivous became my favorite character. Now, me as an intellectual, know a lot more about Star Wars than I used to, and I know of the initial intentions of the Separatists, and I sympathize with it. Also, their Navy is dope AF. I still think clones are badass though.
Dwarf Spider Droids and Crab Droids were always my favorite clankers

SimpleCloneTrooper ye. My fav navy ship is Providence. It’s my fav ship in all of Star Wars
Nathaniel Hill I always liked the destroyer droids :)
i want to see shows/movies that invert the original and the prequel trilogies showing the perspective of the written evils. seeing the people who we are told to not care about also go through the same if not worse experiences at the hands of the corrupt republic or the effects of the destruction that the rebels caused would show that the way things were handled were horrid on both sides.
They killed my clone brothers by that thousands every day. End of story

“The writers never let us see”
_So where did all these stories come from??..._
In seriousness, tho, I’d love to see a major storyline made, which focused on the plight & efforts of members of a world that turned Separatist. We could see their struggles in the pre-Clone War Republic, their achievements under Separatist support, the propaganda they receive from their leaders, etc.
In a sense, I guess it would be like the inverse of Rogue One. Whereas Rogue One shows us the unseen low points of the early Rebellion before their inevitable (pyrrhic) victory, here we could see the unseen heroics behind the Separatist cause, making its inevitable collapse that much more impactful. (And if we wanted to end on a hopeful note, we could show glimpses of the early Rebellion forming in the remnants of the Separatist die-hards.)
I think he means the stories and lore exists but most writers prefure useing them as villians for their jedi/clone protagonists.
I personally would love a story about some separatists, showing all aspects. those that were wronged, those that see the flaws (but were personally less affected), the greedy and the hateful/evil. show them reacting to each other and the war (plus expanding, and portraying the droids more along movie lines rather than the clone wars lines [less talking and actually useing cover and crouching positions])
you could even go into the early empire and have some trialed as criminals, others become rebels and others (like the jabiim nationalists) who join the empire.
Everytime the intro happens, I'm like... "He's DEFINITELY a general. Not a sergeant, he's too smart to be a Jedi or a sergeant"
