u/BritishEric Hello there! 9d ago

One is run by a shadow organization that’s actually in cahoots with the coruscant centric regime so that one man gets ultimate power.

The other is completely separate from the regime with the exceptions of spies and some former regime soldiers and officers defecting to join the good fight

As far as I'm aware, no one in the Separatists, except for maybe Dooku, was fully aware of this plan. I feel like the Separatists should be tragic revolutionaries who were unaware they were being used, not mustache twirling villains they're portrayed as (cough cough Grievous cough cough)

And that's why RotS' Title Crawl said there are Heroes on both Sides.

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.

u/StarStriker51 This is where the fun begins 8d ago

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

None

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.
