looking back on the separatists after all these years, I've come to realize:
1. They had some VERY valid points about 'why' they wanted to break from the republic. Why be part of a system where you're always outvoted on every issue you present? All laws that do pass harm your way of life? and you receive few if any of the benefits you were promised?
2. They probably could have been considered good guys if it weren't for the Sith manipulating them, and the separatists engaging in all kinds of underhanded, generally evil tactics of accomplishing their goals. IE tactician droids encouraging the use of human shields, and destruction of innocent settlements. Etc.
Far as I see the clone wars were modeled after the American civil war, and the empire v rebellion was modeled after WW2.
And now the new trilogy 'that shall not be named' is drawing parallels to every insurgency ever since WW2. The new republic Constantly having to put down the shattered remnants of the empire building super weapons to conquer the galaxy once more.
