All the content on this channel makes the movies far more interesting. Harnessing everything I know to truly understand every moment gives it weight beyond a space-setting soap-opera. It's also interesting looking at parallels with current events. Keep up the awesome work, Geetsly's! Stay snazzy!

2:48 That’s an image of Mars from Warhammer 40,000. I don’t know if that was an intentional reference and nod to the overlap between the Star Wars and Warhammer fandoms or just a mistake, but seeing it makes me happy either way.

[@zexalbrony4799]

I would like to hear more about Hypori personally. Especially, since it's the battle where Grevious made a big introduction to the Republic, and where the legendary Jedi Sha'Gi met his end. Also, you've mentioned how the Republic finally managed to pull its industries together to finally push back against the Separatists before. So I would love a full video on the topic, maybe discussing the battle or event that led to this, and the first battle after this event where the Republic demonstrated its new industrial might. Also, also, so are we going to get any videos related to the Book of Boba Fett like we did Mandalorian, Clone Wars season 7, and the Bad Batch?

[@battlesheep2552]

As if Sha'Gi actually met his end instead of getting bored and using 2% of his power to leave for another franchise

[@johnquach8821]

Did any Neimodians join the Rebel Alliance? Or did the Alliance reject them (although the early rebellion might not have had much of a choice)

[@defensivekobra3873]

I think the FFG book Desperate Allies has the answer

[@nickagalidis1845]

I believe some did although the Rebellion did its best to separate itself from Confederacy war criminals, at most using them as privateers rather than allowing them to properly join the Rebellion, taking the most practical course of action when faced with that issue, given fleets of veterans were quite useful to the fledgling Alliance although giving them full membership would have been a major propaganda victory for the Empire who could claim the rebels were nothing more than Separatist war criminals.

[@violetsonja5938]

@@nickagalidis1845 Yeah, I was just reading about this the other day. They used some Trade Federation ship captains as Privateers after the dissolution of the Imperial Senate. I'm DMing a tabletop game about it next week.

[@dark7element]

The EU canon is inconsistent on this. Disney prefers to more or less ignore the issue while simultaneously acknowledging that there were a fair number of so-called "Separatist holdouts". However, other materials showed significant chunks of the old Confederate Navy incorporated into the Rebel Alliance, including using several of the iconic 'Lucrehulk' battleships in a diversionary attack which served to draw away the Death Star's supporting fleet to open it up to Wedge's starfighter raid. As for the FFG book it mentions the issue but waffles on giving an answer, stating that the Rebel leadership hasn't made up their mind on whether or not they should incorporate Neimoidians and other former separatists, though it seemed to err on the side of assuming that most Rebels will take any help they can get. Personally, I think it makes sense the Rebels would recruit ex-Separatists, since after the dissolution of the senate and the Death Star destroying Alderaan, the Empire was so widely hated that Imperial propagandists pointing to decades old CIS war crimes would lose a lot of its sting.

[@lerneanlion]

This whole talk about the Separatists left me with one question. Why would the Republic wanted to expand into the Mid and the Outer Rims in the first place? If they leave them alone, the Clones Wars might not even happen.

[@Cthulhuwarlord]

Cheap labor for the short answer

[@chocochipjewel]

I think it's for a multitude of reasons, but from what I understand it, it's for resources and cheap labour as the core worlds were in need of more space, plus some alien worlds in the outer rim didn't want to be controlled by the human centric core worlds. Plus given the general corruption of the senate meant some worlds just wanted to govern themselves. There's a video by Lore Master titled 'Why the Separatists were the Good Guys in the War' that can explain this better.

[@lerneanlion]

@@chocochipjewel I know what the Core Worlds wanted but if the Mid and the Outer Rims said no to them back during the Old Republic, what is going to happen?

[@chocochipjewel]

@@lerneanlion I don't think any world would've been able to resist if the Republic voted in favour of invading them. Banding together made them stronger, and that's how the CIS were originally made. The corporations' influence came after. Initially it was just a reasonably large group of mid rim and outer rim worlds who stuck together to be free from the Republic

[@lerneanlion]

@@chocochipjewel Wait. Are you saying that the Senate is going to go against what the Republic is standing for and invade some independent planets just because they refused the offer to join? A bit too direct if you asked me. The best I can think of is that some senators decided to hire some pirate gangs to harass those planets and the Republic arrived to defend them when they are being contacted by the locals.

[@casbot71]

*What if the CIS won?;* During the Clone Wars, Sidious and Dooku got taken out _before_ the endgame when the CIS had been so badly nerfed that the GAR "won"? Both had very close calls and it could have been as simple as the bridge of the Invisible Hand being taken out by a stray shot or a collision before Palps was "rescued", simultaneously killing them both. What would be the result if the war was left to its natural conclusion of a CIS victory and _they won_ without a Sith calling the shots. Would the Galaxy have ended up with something that could even be worse than the Empire?

[@marielawrence468]

I feel like just because of this we need a Star Wars version of what if and have this be one of the very first episodes

[@zealtqwerty3083]

Very underrated questions that i never knew i needed answers for.

[@zexalbrony4799]

There's actually a fan work here on KZbin called Revenge of the Clones that takes a look at this idea, as it takes place in an alternate universe where Fives managed to survive long enough for the drug to wear off and convinced the Jedi and his fellow Clones of the truth, and with a little investigation, they eventually took Palpatine and Dooku out on Courascant when they had a secret meeting. Thus, control of the CIS fell to Grevious, who after news on the holonet got out about Palpatine and Dooku manipulating the war, decided fuck it, and dedicated all the CIS resources, at least the ones that weren't completely stuck in battle, to one big final attack on Courascant to end the Jedi and Republic.

[@paullafreniere2773]

I would personally like to see a miniseries dedicated exclusively to detailing the sith grand plan. Starting with its beginnings under darth bane and following the lineage while also covering what each new dark lord accomplished. Then conclude with a video(s) about how it all came together under Darth Sidious, why and how the clone wars were necessary to complete the plan, and how Palpatine won the support of the galactic public. Youve touched on these topics in other videos but I think a dedicated, comprehensive look at the sith grand plan would be cool.

[@ignisinfernal1843]

Honestly now I want a new Star Wars show showing all this. Could focus on a different major Rule of Two Sith in each season, starting with Bane and build up to a season focused on a young Sidious and Plagueis.

[@johnquach8821]

Some places were picked at the end of the war due to few options. Others may have been done out of sadism, or perhaps because they had an important resource underground on these planets.

[@kieranh2005]

For the GrimDark Oh wait. Wrong universe.

[@battlesheep2552]

You'd want an atmosphere since it's harder to keep machines cool in a vacuum, but an oxygen-free environment would be better to avoid oxidation. Otherwise it's probably about location, they needed to be close to resources and/or trade routes, and it's probably better to build them on planets that already had power generation capacity and space ports than to build on an airless world built from scratch. On the other hand, putting them on an uninhabitable world would make it harder for the Republic's meatbag army to assault.

You need money, power, land, and materials to make these factories and run them. They'd make use of local resources to be cost efficient. There are sustainable technologies, but those are costly, complex and maintenance intensive.
