the techno Union army is at your disposal, count

"The techno union is at your disposal Count"-MC Tambor

[AlexGledhill]

I love the Separatist Council. The Techno Union and InterGalactic Banking Clan are two of my favourite companies in Star Wars

[dosomethingaboutit]

Wat Tambor one of my favourite characters

[garyhorton]

One thing about the Separatist Council is that they were very diverse as far as species went. An entire galaxy full of aliens and all we ever get in the movies are humans. Kinda boring.

[Evzone]

If there is one thing I will never forgive George Lucas for, it was cutting out Wat Tambor's death scene.

I wish Shu Mai and Passel Argente had more prominent roles in TCW. It would've been interesting if when the series ended, each member of the Separatist Council had had some portrayal in the series.

Fun Fact: San Hill was tutored by Hego Damask, or to use the Sith name we know him as: Plagueis the Wise.

His father Larsh Hill worked with Darth Plagueis in Damask Holdings, which was a front for Plagueis' shady Sith business. Larsh was killed, and Plagueis tutored San as Head of the banking clan for his own dark interests.

I always wondered what happened to most of the organizations that the council represented. I knew the leaders had been killed by Anakin in RotS, but never bothered looking up what happened to say the Banking Clan or the Commerce Guild, etc. Good to know, thanks for this Alex!

I'm not sure if it's still canon, but Po Nudo was the leader of the Hyper Communications Cartel, who ran comms for the CIS, and Tikkes was in charge of the Quarren Isolation League, whose mines provided the Separatists with raw materials.

The corporate alliance made snail tanks

The geonosians built the foundation of the death star. But when exactly did construction begin? We see the foundations at the end of ROTS, but you would think the republic would have noticed it during the second battle on Geonosis (as seen in The Clone Wars)

[elevatorhistoryman]

There are two more Separatist Council members. Rogwa Wodrata, a senator from Alliga, is seen on Geonosis in Attack of the Clones. There’s also an unidentified character who is a short alien creature seen on Utapau in Revenge of the Sith. Both characters were never seen after that. It is unknown what happened to them.

Separatists? Mesa nosa likin disa! Theysa nosa bombad like Wesa hot Gungans, Mesa tinks!

[BrnGam]

This might be silly, but I swear every time someone mentions something regarding " CIS white privilege male blah blah blah nonsense" or anything similar, either seriously(lol) or for humor, I immediately think of Star Wars and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

I'm a geek with priorities lol.

[crimsoncorsair]

I love the separatists, too bad that they lost the clone wars.
I'VE JUST HAD A THEORY-
was Obi wan's mind wiped in attack of the clones? He saw all those senators on the council, and never reported which world's were taking two sides EG the techno Union. ALSO Dooku told him that the Senate was controlled by a Sith lord, so he should've found Palpatine sooner

[justinh]

Is it just me or is Wat Tambor highly underrated for his uniqueness? Just me? Ok.

[jamesmelia]

Great video. I've always been confused by the role of the Separatist Council, but this helped me figure it all out.

[blixerie]

It’s like in the real world. Both sides are financed by the same people.
