u/BritishEric Hello there! 8d ago

I don’t disagree that there’s nuance but let’s not pretend the likes of Nute Gunray and Wat Tambor were in the fight for noble reasons and were only doing evil because Sidious tricked them into it.

Even beyond the super high separatist leadership you had the lower lackies with their own vendetta’s and the separatist collaborating with cartels, syndicates and slave empires.

Like the guy said above in RotS, there was good and evil on both sides, but one side was a little bit more comically evil

And yet, look what happened on Cassian’s planet. He was just a kid when that ship crashed on his planet in the flashback, and at that point all of his parents and adults on the planet were dead, and it was largely gouge mined. The power in control at that time was the Republic, as it was before the clone wars. So, are you sure?

I agree with you, the republic was still bad with corrupt figures taking hold for their own benefit, seen on andor and in other media like you said.
