A Series On Separatist Politics Would Go Insanely Hard

[@theromanorder]

As true as that is just so your aware, ive been asking for more tactics and structures like the cis navy structure For 340 days today...

[@tristankawatsuma8962]

A story like that would be bound to show the Separatist Idealists like Mina Bonteri being kept in the dark and having much faith in Count Dooku. The members of the Separatist Council would no doubt use their control over the military to try and better themselves and their corporations. A serious question would be how long it would take until the combined hatred of the Republic and its corruption isn’t enough to keep the Separatists united. Even the non-corporate members are divided between democracies, autocracies, and other types of government no doubt. Some support slavery, others oppose it, some are racist, some aren’t. Granted, a faction as large as the Republic must have similar political divisions within it, but it was able to keep itself united behind Palpatine and maintaining order, for better in the short term and for worse in the long term.

[@RealCodreX]

Filoni hates the seperatists because there are no jedi in them. So it is unlikely that we will ever see something like that.

[@Gufupandi09th13]

​@@RealCodreXFiloni is a crybaby then

[@thelittleal1212]

Takes of a seperatist Imagine a Generel grievous episode

[@TetsuShima]

The fact Anakin killed Durge can actually get pretty funny considering the Bounty Hunter was basically a teenager when he died. The Chosen One really knew how to deal with kids, isn't it?

[@smartass0124]

Yet you consider the clones children

[@tysondennis1016]

Well, Gen’Dai do have millennia-long lifespans, and by then, Durge was twice as old as Yoda, chronologically.

[@TetsuShima]

It's pretty sad Grievous's tragic backstory was completely erased in the TCW show. The first origin of the Jedi killer was simply devastating and a pretty great foreshadowing of Anakin's dark destiny with the Sith

[@GGBlaster]

Did they really erase it? It kinda just seemed like they omitted/glossed over it

[@NaNNaNNaNNaNNaN]

They didn't erase anything. They just didn't speak about it, because why would they? TCW was about the characters that were important in Anakin's life and Anakin himself too.

[@mainstream2226]

Please, feel free to point me to the specific episodes of TCW that completely erase his backstory. Or are we just here to make bold claims in a comment section?

[@Daniel_Huffman]

For those wondering, _TCW_ and its supplementary sources retconned Grievous' backstory into a guy who was jealous of the Jedi's capabilities and upgraded himself into a cyborg to mimic their abilities.

[@GGBlaster]

@@Daniel_Huffman Omission is not a retcon. Grievous’ origin story is still very much canon. And even if it weren’t, it could still fit neatly within the canon.

[@TetsuShima]

Despite being a monster, Durge actually had a understandable reason to do such awful things. During the New Sith Wars, Durge's Master and only friend, Jaing, was killed by the mandalorians, causing the Bounty Hunter a deep hatred for that race, until the point of killing one of the Mandalores and joining the Separatists just to kill as many Jango Fett's clones as possible

[@zaisfantasticdiscoverys7710]

Mando isn’t a race and his master being killed happened to many Jedi

[@mattstorm360]

That would actually be a funny reason to join the separatists. If you hate Jango, join the separatists. Now you can kill Jango over and over again.

[@AnotherSWnerd]

Fun fact for anyone who didn't know. In the original clone, wars show it is mace windu, who causes grievous's iconic cough by crushing his core with the force,permanently damaging the cyborgs organs. 1 could assume this isn't the only reason or explanation for his condition by the end of the clone wars, but I like to reference this whenever the topic comes up

[@AskMia411]

I love that Tamson’s death was a homage to Jaws. It’s just missing that “Smile you sunnuva b-“ BOOM!

[@Torfin2001]

8:38 For those who wonder, this Jedi (Etain Tur-Mukan) and Mandalorian Commando (Darman Skirata), would fall in love and have a force-sensitive child, Venku Skirata, who years later would become a training companion of Jaina Solo

[@FastTquick]

There are a couple more feared Separatist leaders I’d like to mention: Sev’rance Tann: She was the original Supreme Commander of the Separatist Droid Armies before Grievous who was responsible for a number of early Separatist victories like the Battle of Sarapin. Alpha-02 “Spar:” He was Mandalore of the Mandalorian Protectors who destroyed many Republic armies in Mandalorian Space before he was defeated at Norval II.

[@Seresh-j8m]

Tann is an often overlooked commander simply because she, as far as I know, only appeared in Galactic Battlegrounds. That doesn't diminish her importance though. On that note. I wouldn't mind seeing a redesigned Decimator tank, the one in game was weird looking.

[@cody-en7nt]

And technically Durge wasn't a leader....more like bodyguard, thug. Mercenary....except for the ridiculous lance bs....and Alto Status wasn't a Separatist Commander....He was commander of Jabiims rebels who wanted to join the separatists in exchange for mining rights....He only commanded the small force of Assassin Droids at the end....his forces were mostly Jabiim rebels....Seems he is ignoring a lot of actual Commanders in favor of his favorite characters....what about the Mon Calamari Merkai or whatever...at the battle of Kamino? Or Nute Gunray ? I get that your going for most feared commanders....but since you add people that weren't commanders you might as well add those no one fears....and to be fair...the other vid he did on separatists commanders who lost it all on one battle....the main reason those battles were lost was bc ole Palps wanted them to be.....either to take out commanders he feared or he thought incompetent.....when you realize Palps was playing both ends to the middle, then you understand some never had a chance , no matter how feared, undefeated or powerful....the one person Palps couldn't Out think was sent to conquer the Unknown regions with just one ship....and he did. Thrawn.😮

[@Dissedits000]

dang tann is a baddie

[@TetsuShima]

The Battle of Jabiim was without a doubt one of the most depressing Sar Wars stories. It gave us an amazing tale with a great anti-war message. In fact, the planet would still suffer the consequences of the war during the OT era, to the point the inhabitants literaly try to kill Luke because he is a Skywalker

[@zachchartier570]

They had the balls to "kill off" Obi-Wan! That series seriously went ham. I miss Alpha but I'm glad he could inspire Rex's character a bit.

[@lerneanlion]

Did they ever explain to him why they wanted to kill? Just imagine they told him what his father did during the Clones Wars must be shocking to Luke, right?

[@Dudewithguns-ww7wc]

@@lerneanlionI doubt Luke could be shocked by his fathers past as a Jedi when he was literally DARTH FUCKING VADER. Besides, Anakin was heroled a hero across multiple planets. Jabim is like the only planet where the Republics‘ involvement had a negative impact afterwards.

[@maverickdarkrath4780]

​@Dudewithguns-ww7wc to be fair, if not for papls propaganda , anakin would be viewed as the general grievous of the republic and definitely would be seen in a negative light

[@isaackim7675]

Just imagine teaming up with Durge and General Grievous? They would make a terrifying power couple within the CIS

[@istoppedcaring6209]

didn't they have an intense and hatefull rivalry?

[@Onionaniamtions]

In legends grevious ambushed durge and ventless at the same time,and beat them both

[@ripdippy6964]

You can also argue that Grievous’ suit was the original plans for Vaders, as it appears to work much better, but Sidious wanting to be able to control Vader gave him a faultier one

[@Nephalem2002]

Tamson was terrifying as a Kid, surprised that I never had nightmares about him. Dude was unhinged AF.

[@tysondennis1016]

The shark man cometh…

[@nathanieljackson5554]

Ventress and Greivous were great at showing how the Sith were in control of the CIS.

[@mcleezy2769]

Durge wasn’t trained by Mandalorians. He HATED Mandalorians. They actually set him on fire and buried him for 60 years until he escaped. That’s why he hated clones. They were ‘offspring’ or ‘spawns’ of a Mandalorian.

[@Altairbn]

Wasn’t he trained by a Mandalorian though? Not a group but just one particular mandalorian who had left or something

[@masteroftheassassins]

Alto Stratus was a great military commander and unlike a lot of officers, he led his men in combat from the front lines. Hell, he fought with a regular sword and not a vibroblade or a stolen lightsaber.

[@IStealButterdToast]

There would be nothing more terrifying than to see Grievous, Durge, and Admiral Trench in the same battle

[@tysondennis1016]

That would be an oh fuck moment.

[@MrDarthCIS]

Great list. I feel like Osi Sobeck should have been on this list, he ran the Citadel which was a deadly place and that arc featured heavy losses on the Republics side.

[@occam7382]

Yeah, but he was a prison warden, not an actual military commander.

[@pacboy7673]

The guy made a grave mistake by entering the battlefield, and it cost him everything (literally)

[@jeremiahgranger1566]

Sev’rance Tann has shown to be a competent leader during the early months of the Clone Wars, she likely deserved a honorable mention here

[@jaohonaxa]

Darts was able to hold his own, but I do think it’s fair to remember that Obi Wan was just using that fight as a distraction while Anakin and Ahsoka disarmed the bombs. He basically let him beat him up to take advantage of the zygerrian’s temper and grudge against the Jedi Also let’s not forget that Riff Tansen was also the one who assassinated the previous Mon Cala monarch

[@lerneanlion]

[@BennyFromFalloutNewVegas]

You forgot to mention Commander Nefarious, Caption "I'm a bad guy", and Admiral Bone-to-Pick who were also aboard the Invisible Hand with General Grievance.

[@weeoth8380]

The sith cant be blamed entirely for Grevious‘s misfortune. Sure, they made use of it and bombed him and turned him into a cyborg, but the stuff with the war before that was on the jedi/republic. His hatred for them is mandated

[@krta1773]

A movie/show about Alto Stratus would be the most amazing thing ever. Of course I wouldn't count on the current owners of the franchise to consider it, not in a million years but still, it's nice to dream.

[@tysondennis1016]

I like how the clones had lances, just in case of jousting droids led by an immortal bounty hunter made of ever-regenerating tentacles.

[@cactus472]

can just tell this is going to be a great vid

[@charlottewalnut3118]

I’m gonna be honest the explosive knives probably should’ve had a bio code on them to make it so that only he could use them that would’ve probably been a smart one essentially a genetic block

[@luisemoralesfalcon4716]

Good list, a few fearsome individuals indeed.

[@oliversynowiec3350]

You missed Sev'rance Tann

[@jeffagain7516]

Great vid my friend. Though, I'd argue with your interpretation at the beginning, of the meaning of what The Clone Wars represents. Rather than "quality over quantity" I'd suggest; "Plot Armour over contrived shortcomings" courtesy of old creamy Sheeves himself. ;) The CIS could have won the war in two years had the Sithy Kids not hamstrung them, on multiple occasions. Also, though The Republic may have owned Anakin's Rookie Card, The Sith owned his complete set when Sheeves launched order 66. Not to mention; Terminator (Grevious), Spiderman (Trench), Braveheart (Stratus), Furiosa (Ventress), The Thing (Durge), RoboCop (Hokan), Bruce (Tamson), Khan (D'Nar) and many more. :)

[@occam7382]

We're talking about in-universe stuff, not why the storytellers did things the way they did in real life. Also, are those the actual inspirations for those characters, and if so, are there any sources confirming that?

[@maxfielddukler4652]

Can you do a video of the most feared republic generals too?

[@robertagu5533]

Not bad, now we should see an hear about the Republic counter parts though most those are probably just as easy to guess

[@IsayamaSujit]

Its a shame we see the republic take on efforts of sending several jedi generals to a battlefield like where obiwan, mace windu, and obiwan were all present at a given time and resulted in victory. Meanwhile theres been lack of joint campaigns for the separatist. Imagine greivous ventress trench were all involved with the battle of umbara. The umbarans in addition to very tactical CIS leaders could of meant defeat for the republic even if pong krell was never there.

[@Gufupandi09th13]

We need a show focusing on them please 🥺

[@desperado8605]

One of my favorites made the list the Hairless Harpy herself lol everytime I watch that episode I bust out laughing

[@simonthegun]

I say this again but a little differently what did I do to get this lucky to get a video from gen tech and a separatist one as well but i know what i did to get this lucky

[@ellnats]

its funny, Ventress was a loyalist to the sith, but Palpatine was paranoid of her growing power, so had dooku betray her, she dosn't handle betrayal well, and people say the good guys are dumb

[@Gamerafighter76]

Sev’rance Tann was also a skilled commander.

[@smartass0124]

Grevious got kiss bumper kicked by Gungans

[@darkestsky5509]

I think Sev'rance Tann or any of the Super Tactical Droids would be a good fit for this list. Sev'rance Tann dosent have a large story but she had an impressive track record. And the Mandalorian on this list is similar being only known through a game. (I love galactic battlegrounds.) And for the Super Tactical Droid, everyone feared them and their biggest weakness was themself rather than any outside force. Rex even had a PTSD flashback when seeing one after the end of the clone wars.
