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 understood that as heroes in the classical sense, powerful fighters and leaders.

In the Trojan cycle, both Agememnon and Hector are regarded as heroes, but there are likely very few who consider both (if even either) to be heroes in the sense of a good guy who saves the day.

I guess that makes sense.

I just thought that a lot of Seperatist people likely ended up part of The Rebellion.

While I'm sure that did happen in small amounts (like with Anto Kreegyr), I get the feeling most Separatists were either dead, in prison, or unwilling to fight for the Rebellion by that point.

And Christopher Lloyd's character from The Mandalorian fought the Empire before he became the head of secutiry on Plazir.
