I occasionally get interested in the star wars universe, despite the flaws of of the prequel movies I find them entertaining enough. And the Clone Wars show was pretty awesome, not to mention a bunch of the rest of the Expanded Universe is cool. So I figured why not start a topic about discussing the Star Wars universe? So lets do that, lets talk Star Wars.
Personally, I am very sympathetic to the Separatists. They appear to be just strait up bad guys if you just look at the separatist council and Count Dooku. But in 'The Clone Wars' TV show, they are shown to have a civilian government composed of various worlds. Separatist_Parliament.
I think future works that take place in the star Wars universe during the clone wars should flesh out the Confederates more. There have been hints here and there that the worlds that formed the separatists later on supported the Rebel alliance. And that makes sense, if the seperatist cause found a lot of support because many people thought the republic was corrupt (and were completely right, the Republic did promptly become the Empire) then those former separatists would indeed likely support a rebellion against the corrupt-republic turned Empire.
Its like the Rebel alliance was the good parts of both sides of the clone wars vs the corruption (Palpatine) that secretly controlled both sides of the clone wars.
