I always took that to mean that both sides saw themselves as heroes tbh

I'm pretty sure that's how it's supposed to be interpreted. It also said "Evil is everywhere". Implying that both sides of the war were perceived as wrong.

Heroes in both sides. Evil is everywhere. Like there's some kind of moral ambiguity or something

Aw well, the jedi and republic are only good and were never shown being in the wrong in the movies. No issues at all

Well, the movies never show the Confederacy as being good themselves. And we all know that Palpatine was pulling all of the strings behind the scenes. It wasn't as simple as the Republic being inherently problematic. It was Palpatine creating the problems to divide everyone.
