It would be great if there were more dedicated stories about the CIS remnants aiding the Rebellion

[@imperious8905]

Agreed

[@tigerlord9302]

I actually have an idea where they play the Rebellion over to get revenge on Palpatine. Oh and the Rebels reactivate the battle droids and reprogrammed them too.

[@adamhunter4120]

Andors parents are separatists

[@teddykilo]

I wish there were a Count Dooku series or movie, before the Prequel

[@tigerlord9302]

I think my favorite leader ever was General Kallani. The fact that he was smart enough to survive on his own after the Clone Wars was just incredible

[@felicitys3621]

Just finished the Onderon Arc of TCW and I can say that he’s my second favorite separatist general next to Trench

[@buckethead60]

Mine too. It took me a while to realize he was the same droid as the one in Rebels, but once I did it made me love him so much

[@l750z_6]

Relax man

[@georgehouliaras7239]

Battle of Mustafar [Space] "Preventive Measures" "Although the Clone Wars were over, some people never seemed to get the message. The worst case of denial was Gizor Dellso, a Geonosian Separatist who'd somehow escaped Lord Vader's efforts to wipe out the remnants of the CIS. Lord Vader tracked him to Mustafar, and brought us in to finish the job. It seemed like a simple enough mission, but when we saw the fleet of droid ships, hovering over the planet, we suddenly realized that Delso's denial mechanisms were a little more dangerous than we'd imagined." "The slight whiff of nostalgia the 501st had enjoyed fighting the droid fleet over Mustafar had already grown sour by the time we'd established orbital positions. Now it was time to find out what this was all about." Battle of Mustafar "Tying up Loose Ends" "By the time we'd made our way to the molten surface of Mustafar, it was apparent that Dellso had been a busy little bug. All by his lonesome, he'd found a previously hidden droid factory, fired it up and cranked out his own private army of battle droids. Needless to say, this got the men of the 501st...a little hot under the helmet, and not just because of all that lava. Truth be told we'd all had our fill of those gear heads during the war, and we couldn't stomach the thought of going through another one. So we blew them up. Blew up the droids, blew up the factory, damn near blew up the planet." "The destruction of the mining facility put an end to any thoughts of a second droid rebellion. For the first time in years, the men of the 501st could relax, and get about the business of maintaining an Empire, rather than building one."

The very best Star Wars game ever IMO

[@themanfromjupiter910]

When I hear of Tarkin's cruelty in the Empire, I wonder what was he like in the Republic outside of the very few times we got to see him in the Clone Wars show. Was he doing these terrible things then but covering it up or was he actually serving the Republic like other generals?

[@ashtonhaggitt216]

I think his time with the republic pushed him to what we saw in rebels and the original trilogy. He saw the republic as weak, corrupt and ineffective. There are a great many generals throughout history who started off decent enough, but eventually succumbed to easy control via horrible methods.

[@sintzu8936]

It would be very awesome to see the separatist droid army and the rebels to stand up against the empire

[@Tjimbob12]

I’ve always thought about this. They’ve just sorta… disappeared. Anakin killed all the leaders so I guess that explains the fall of the army.

[@imperious8905]

Yes. There is a scene of Anakin and sidious, sidious was like “contact the trade federation and shut down the driods”

[@starwarsvault4154]

This is an awesome video theory I always just assumed the separatists disappeared or hid themselves after Anakin killed all the leaders, since the empire would wipe them out if ever found due to them being enemies of the republic

[@LEOxuan]

I enjoy seeing more about the seperatists and the government side of things.

[@SirChad771]

Loved the Seperatists/Trade Fed/Techno-Union/Banking-Clans since 1999 TPM. We need more of these stories, really AWESOME narration Theory👌

[@TheRealAlpha2]

I can't imagine not seeing some of this play out in Andor. A massive missed opportunity if it doesn't.

[@isisbarfuss558]

13:00 They were not all "Trade Federation leaders". The Trade Federation was just one of the groups that made up the Confederacy of Independent Systems, AKA the Separatist Alliance. The leaders Vader killed were from all the groups; Trade Federation, Techno Union, Banking Clan, etc.

[@hunterkiller1440]

Ironic how the loyalists and separatists joined forces.

[@g3n3ral1nsanity5]

It would be super cool to see some stories from non clone stormtroopers about a terrifying squad of fully operational commando Droids or a utterly hopeless fight against a company of droideka supported by a few squads of super battle Droids

[@DeadBaron]

Wish there were more battle droids that survived. Many of the later models were arguably sentient. All they need to survive is maintenance and electricity. What if a fleet went missing and escaped?

[@cursedseeker1273]

In a universe where the prequels were the originals, we would have droids helping the rebels Sounds pretty cool

[@goathovor9641]

What if Yoda arrived to late with the Clones to save the Jedis at Geonosis? Would The Separatists last longer and replace The Empire?

[@henryhunter1015]

One thing to remember is that Darth sidious (palpatine) was orchestrating the whole war behind the scenes

[@ace360]

Awesome video General Theory 🤘

[@DankMemeCentral69]

I really wondered what happened to the CIs

[@philiphennings5167]

Could you imagine if Andor shows us exactly what you just talked about? That would be a good show in my opinion

[@felicitys3621]

I hope a lot of this is answered in TBB. Seeing Captain Rex and a Tactical Droid work together alongside each other against Stormtroopers and AT-ATs

Wow again the research and videos you do is insane love your channel nobody better

[@sithticklefingers7255]

I just watched the clone wars earlier this year, and I absolutely loved the nuance that series depicted about the war. I wish they’d have shown some more of what happened politically and socially to the separatist systems after order 66. Imagine how some of them felt after their shadowy leader revealed himself to be in charge of both sides all along before siding with the enemy and quickly disbanding their army and executing their leaders leaving them literally no option but to surrender or die. They were betrayed the same as the Jedi and the citizens of the republic were. The time between Order 66 and the formation of the Rebel Alliance must’ve been heartbreaking for the individuals living on separatist planets.

[@RikkiLane]

The Antar Atrocity was the name given by the media to an operation undertaken by the Galactic Empire in which Imperial forces, led by Wilhuff Tarkin, carried out arrests, executions, and massacres on Antar 4, as punishment for Antar 4's allegiance to the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars.

[@plasma_zqqw9160]

Star Wars theory can you cover the topic of General Kalani after he left in rebels? I’ve never found anything about what he did with his squad that he took.

[@TheG.O.A.T_7716]

* An Update to this for Jedi Survivor * The Battle Droids were also used by the new Bedlam Raiders, and easily chopped down.

[@taitano12]

Two things: 1: Tarkin and his doctrine of cruelty were the best generator of dissidents in The Empire. Even more than Palpatine. 2: Vader killed the corrupt CIS leaders that even the CIS members hated. I believe it may have been a major reason for a lot of their members to submit to The Empire; a demonstration of Palpatine's claimed desire to eliminate corruption in The Senate. As some of Rome's Emperors demonstrated, a single psycho, but both smart and intelligent, leader in charge is sometimes better than a bunch of corrupt bureaucrats.

[@KN1F3RJord]

We need a live action battle droid, still hoping for a B2 in Mando but a B1 main character would be amazing, also a tactical droid would be amazing, started building a tactical droid to scale but only done the head so far, need more irl references.

[@caiusswopes]

What if it had been Grevious instead of Dooku that engaged Anakin and Obi-Wan to free the Chancellor. Maybe Dooku would have survived and seen what Palpatine really had in store for him (which was betrayal). Maybe he finds Yoda on Dagobah at some point and comes back to the light side. And/or he joins the rebellion as a High leader alongside Mon Mothma and Bail Organa.

What happened to the Separatists? They sighed afterwards then all had a slice of lemon meringue pie 🥧. And waited for Luke Skywalker to show up in a yellow jacket, black shirt, skinny brown pants, black boots, and a big silver oval belt buckle.

Do red Kyber Crystals affect their owners in any way? Like incresed aggression or something when someone wears one as a talisman?

[@tundra2059]

Omg! This is why the rebellion has so many separatist-looking ships and why they look like essentially a melting pot of people. I really enjoyed this video because I genuinly didn’t know this! I figured Palps just made them dissappear

[@macwelch8599]

What if Chancellor Palpatine wasn’t a Sith Lord, but instead a very strategic mind with a genius level intellect? He would still be an ally to the Sith, but what if his plan destroyed both the Sith and Jedi while creating the Empire

Makes me wonder what couldve been if the sequel trilogy was structured in the following way; Two states 1. The New Republic and 2. The New Confederacy are in a cold war with each other while the First Order is more of a terrorist organization trying to start another full blown war.

[@thetotaldramaking5427]

I loved the CIS and what happened to them. They were actually right, Dooku and Palpatine just re organised it.

[@markevans1618]

Some of those pics from stormtroopers and rebels landing at night under terrible weather is such a good representation of what I would assume to be a majority of the battle in the SW galaxy. We get nice and pretty fluffed wars in the movies, but the reality of war even in sci fi is probably not much different than today. No vision, static and unreliable comms from massive storm systems, a planet nobody has been to, trying to exit the vehicle quickly as possible so you dont get gunned down, the only things visible are lightning and blaster bolts and you are trying to find or keep up with your squad in the chaos and friends fall all around you. Man SW has so much potential to be outstanding and instead we got Rey Cringewalker and Reva: The Annoying One

I might not have much to hold onto. I’m still in the struggle. Fighting the dragon within. It is hard and it takes alot away from me and really pours when it rains. But I’ve fought this fight before. Sometimes you just have to. Goodluck to anyone else out there struggling with their mental. May the force be with you.
