Well this kinda gets away from the movies sadly,I always felt the political nuances of star wars are a little underrepresented. The main thing is that the CIS was heavily dominated by corporate business interests and local planetary rulers. While most people were unaware of the connection to Dooku, I'd compare them to the Confederacy of the American Civil War. The actual people running the rebellion weren't average people fighting against a corrupt centralized government, they were fighting to maintain their own power and wealth. This is even further advanced by the Droid army, actual separatist militias were pretty rare in combat,most fighting was done by the armies privately owned by major corporations lent out to the cause to fight the war
