The Separatists Alliance - an understandable goal, orchestrated by deceivers.

"I didn't give up to the corrupt Republic, I didn't give up to the Empire, and I won't give up to you..."

It's so interesting to think that since Dooku's true role in orchestrating the Clone War was not public knowledge, for some members of the Rebellion he died a martyr and a golden example of what a rebel should be.

Easily the most unexplored faction in Star Wars

The Separatists were the precursors to the Rebel Alliance, their ideas, beliefs, and traditions scream Rebellion. Dooku was a good leader and the Separatists if not corrupted by the Sith/Dark Side would have been a force for good!

Sometimes we forget that by and large, the Separatists were as maliciously deceived as the Republic was. Many in their parliament during the war, as represented in the episode "Heroes on Both Sides" in the Clone Wars series, seemed to genuinely believe in their cause, but were unaware that the same greedy entities like the Trade Federation who were corrupting the Republic government from within were also the ones financing and in some cases personally overseeing the Separatist droid armies. And over everything, Sidious' hand was guiding them from the shadows towards his own ultimate purpose, just as he was doing to the Republic. As Andor showed with Saw and his speech about the various anti-Imperial factions, one of the reasons it took years for the official Alliance to Restore the Republic to form was because many of those who had cause to hate the Empire and rebel against it were equally opposed to the restoration of the pre-Clone Wars Galactic Republic. I find it really funny, poetically ironic, and deeply saddening all at once that the current sorry state of Star Wars as a real-world business franchise has been so compromised by Disney, who have acted as if they were cosplaying the Trade Federation or Commerce Guild in corrupting something important just to satisfy their own greed and pride.

Right off the bat using the Luthen quote for Dooku is absolute perfection!

What a great effort to draw a connection from the Separatists to the Rebellion! Loved it!

And that's how the Separatist has been reborn into Rebellion during the Empire era

COUNT DOOKU... WAS A VISIONARY!!!!!

It is an honor to stand before you, for you represent the freedom and the future of our galaxy. The once-great Republic and Jedi Order have become victims of their own ambitions, and the Supreme Chancellor is no more than a pawn of corporate monopolies. As a people you called out for change, you called out for leadership, and I humbly answered that call.

“Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.” ― Frank Herbert, Chapterhouse: Dune

Such a fascinating faction they really should have done more with. Holding a critical lense up to the republic, without falling to fascism.

Hearing plaguies brings joy to my ears

"Amateurs seek the sun, get eaten. Power stays in the shadows." - Lewis Strauss, Oppenheimer Feel like this quote best sums up Dooku and the way he & his ambition were used by Sidious.

Plagueis's voice always gives me a star wars woody. F Yeah. 🔥

The CIS is the best faction in Star Wars, it's impossible to change my mind.
