Didn’t know Emperor Franz Joseph was in Star Wars

[LifetimeTechnec]

Like how they show that the CIS are closer to the Rebellion then to the Empire like many would think.

"No, wait. This is wrong. It is my duty to act in their best interest." - said no politician ever

[daltonchildress]

Honestly, most of the Separatist senators and citizens were NOT evil. It was Palpatine, Dooku, the Techno Union, Banking Clan, Trade Federation, and the Separatist Military that were evil and manipulating them.

[alexander]

I was always disappointed how little they chose to show shades of grey with the CIS. As a kid watching the Clone Wars I could never understand what was unjust let alone evil about wanting to break away and be independent.

They were controlled by the Sith? They were controlled by Corporations? And? So was the Republic.

[captaincosmopolitan]

Looks like Austria-Hungary managed to survive after y’all

[gagefarmer]

Most members of the Separatist senate went into hiding or worst.
With Dooku and general Grievous gone the Separatists lost their council.
Only them and Maul knew about the mystery of Darth Sidious.
But only a few bounty hunters was hired by the dark lord of the Sith.
The death star was the one thing that the creepy old man had planed before he betrayed the Separatists.

[carbodude]

Even better is how in the following episode, we're shown a Republic Senator willingly selling out his people to get into the Empire's good graces

While its sad that we didn't get to see much of this gray area in the Clone Wars show, it is nice to see that the CIS Senate wasn't wrong about the Republic

[jojop]

The Empire assassinated Franz Ferdinand confirmed

[prismanic]

Its heartbreaking to see the Clones, once defenders of the Republic, reduced into cold enforcers of the Empire.

[gagefarmer]

Clone Force 99 had issues with the Separatist.
Without Dooku gone the leadership started falling to pieces.

[foldabotZ]

If you think about it, the CIS were the equivalent of the Rebel Alliance in the Prequel era. Prequels switched the paradigm of the protagonists and antagonists from the Original trilogy. In the Original trilogy, our heroes were rebels fighting a tyrannical empire. In the Prequel trilogy, the heroes were now the guardians of the republic against seceders who wished for independence.

[aso]

To give a heroic tone to what was nothing more than mediocre carnage, the empire painted the Clone Wars as the heroic defense of a fat and defenseless Republic against anarchic separatists, who were caricatured as droids, aliens and corporations.
The CIS never had the will, never less the power to destroy the Republic, they only wanted to protect their independence and freedom, which in no way were they going to achieve in a prolonged war against the vastly superior in population and resources Core Worlds.
The CIS was the first victim of Palapatine and the example for the entire galaxy: the central government would control local politics and the defense of local interests would be considered "separatism" and oppression "order".

[АнтонИванов-чл]

Confederacy was so great that even the emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary supported it

[rc]

I always wondered if the Confederate Senate knew about the shady dealings and atrocities Dooku, Grievous, and Trench were involved in. I have a hard time believing people like Lux and his mom would of approved.

[Varko-Farsight]

Man, from doctor Bashir, to Head of the Dorne Family, Alexander Singh its just the best scifi-fantasy Diplomat Ever

[bingeshots]

My teacher after staring at my paper for 5 mins during an exam: 0:35

[good]

Man, the Sepratists were the true Heroes of the Clone Wars.

[Ayahuasca]

Just a reminder, a lot of CIS members would go on to help start the rebellions
