[@tianoc-g4811]

Well My favorite star wars faction is the Separatist Alliance or the Confederacy of Independent Systems! There army, though not the best ,is the most versatile and flexible, playing the numbers game that beats even the empire. Fun fact: they actually have the Best Space Navy out of all the other factions thanks to that versatility And diverse specialization that's more spread out and when used by good strategists, It's nearly unstoppable, which again can also beat the Empire. And the final nail in the coffin that truly tipped the balance in their favor is having the jedi on their side this time , which if they went up against a galactic empire , Jedi CIS would win no questions asked, even against the Eternal Empire!

For the record: the CIS was intended to be the good guys, but because of the manipulation of the Sith the CIS eventually became the bad guys

[@midgetydeath]

The CIS was created by the Sith and wouldn’t have existed otherwise. They were meant to be the bad guys and commit loads of atrocities to unite the Republic in fear and to horrify the Confederate worlds after the war and they learn what had been happening so they’d meekly submit.

[@Palemagpie]

You could definitely make the argument that the CIS relying on battle droids for an army. Instead of vat grown, accelerated aged, Brainwashed, child soldiers. Was a 100% more morally acceptable way to wage war. I mean the republic had literally no plans for what to do with the clones after the war. The clones had to fight hard politically just to be allowed to have names. Let alone any kind of post military service. The republic even hunted down "deserters" during the war. How can you be a deserter if you never signed up? Nah honestly, regardless of the level of implied sentience of droids in starwars. The idea that they were built for a purpose. And could be switched off after the conflict. Or repurposed to non-military roles. Is much more believable than "Thank you for your service in defending our republic Mr clone, now, just step into this airlock with your entire squad and we'll discuss your retirement benefits" They couldn't have kept them around after all. A massive standing army of physically adults who've known nothing but war their entire life? Who have no skills outside of pure combat? Nah, I'm sorry, even if the republic hadn't been shown as corrupt and bloated by greed. You think they could have supported like 6 million clones at the end of the war. Clothed them, fed them, and allowed them to die off naturally? When a much easier and cheaper solution would be. Stick em all on a few Venerators. And tell them. "I know it looks like we punched in the quadrants for the closest star, but that's actually a visual glitch in the nav computer. Don't worry about that, anyway, I'm off. You just jump to hyperspace whenever you're ready" The republic knew about the control chips, sure. The clones and the Jedi didn't. But all those orders were approved. Senatorially. Why would politicians need the ability to overwrite the clones free will? Especially when, during the war the possibility of them having to use those orders. Or even being in a position to use them was never going to come up?

You just need support from a couple of senators to be re-elected.

Besides, "war on corruption" is not always in line with public interests. And sometimes it's even done to outshine your own corruption schemes, which can be VERY successful if you're the head of the government.

the CIS were pretty much inarguably the "good guys" from an objective perspective: they were pretty much "Big Business: the faction" so it is easy to vilify them in-setting let alone as the guy writing the script but their entire business model was to profit from facilitating _everyone's_ prosperity "a rising tide raises all ships" style, largely through facilitating effective resource distribution and investing their profits into long term infrastructure. that whole separatist war? it was because the republic was not only refusing to do their damned jobs but actively *supporting* the fact that their society had fallen to the point where the single most common profession in the galaxy was either making a professional career out of armed robbery or being a slave depending on whether you considered [slave] to be a profession or not. as for the sith side of things? Dooku *very* much was *not* the good guy to the point where if he were real he would be one of the few people that imagines themselves as the villain in their own story, he liked looking all dignified and aristocratic for the exact same reason he liked making people suffer and watching worlds burn: he liked feeling like he was better than others and that was pretty much the totality of his motivation structure and changing that would require so much of a change at so fundamental a level that it might as well be a completely different character at that point (a one dimensional villain only has 1 dimension to change afterall)...Sideous on the other hand arguably _was_ a "good guy": his goal was breaking up the stagnation caused by the jedi and sith and hopefully leaving the galaxy with it's first chance in something like 20000 years to become something other than a hellhole to live in...problem is his chosen method for doing that was to do his damnedest to make anything associated with the force _or_ any of the methods of government that it had infected as evil as possible within the general knowledge of the galactic community. IE: he was doing very bad things for very good reasons, it is mostly questionable because his entire plan basically amounted to be cartoonishly evil for as long as possible and hope things get better after they finally kill you for it, he had no plan for the "hope things get better" part because he did not trust himself to have any influence over it. Sidious was on the short list of force users who had a broad enough perspective and enough self awareness to twig onto just how cyclic and stagnant and overall horrible everything was and just how much influence The Force had in *making* it that way, in most of their cases this leads to the individual coming to believe that The Force itself is inherently malevolent and attempting to plot against The Force itself which ends up going about as well as you might expect but in Sidious's case he actually got the chance to study enough about the various force-based organizations that the jedi and sith had gone all *EXTERMINATE THE HEATHENS!!!!!* on and come to the conclusion that while the force _might_ be actively malevolent it is more likely that it is fairly passive and simply being deeply affected by the people that are connected to it and it just so happened that for the last 15000 years that was almost exclusively two sides of the same broken dysfunctional toxic "little" cult and their cancerous philosophies.

@@evernewb2073 oh buddy im right þere wiþ you, i take my “CIS did noþing wrong” copium on a nearly daily basis

[@evernewb2073]

@@XenoTechnian oh don't get me wrong they did plenty wrong, they *are* a subculture that idolizes amoral decision making with most of their members being of a species with some heavy "Orange And Blue Morality" going on. I'm just saying that both their goals and motivations were weirdly altruistic for a faction that cares about nothing other than making money, they are utterly and completely selfish the "trick" to that is that being utterly selfish coupled with being even a little bit wise and/or long-term-oriented means that you rapidly end up wanting to make life better for everyone. the idea only sounds so alien to us because the vast VAST majority of power structures in human society care far more about sabotaging other power structures than embetterment of the whole situation or even just their own situation.

[@CenkHebeuy]

l would like you to get these video ideas please: 1. What if Padme saved Anakin from Count Dooku?(I mean when he was traded for General Grievous.) 2. What if Palpatine received the list of force-sensitive children? 3. What if Padme won the vote against Palpatine and became chancellor? 4. What if Padme Amidala was a Sith Descendant? (However, she will not defend Sith and will be force sensitive.) 5. What if Padme Amidala had been discovered and trained by Anakin to be force sensitive during the Clone Wars? 6.What if Darth Momin killed Darth Vader? 7. What if Anakin had not gone to save Palpatine but Palpatine had killed Mace Windu? 8.What if there was Tom and Jerry(Cartoon Characters) in the Star Wars universe? 9.What if Padme Amidala started thinking just like Anakin as a result of the clone wars (good things about the Empire). 10.What if Bugs Bunny and other cute heroes were in the Star Wars universe?

[@Ear4]

Yess!!!! I love these gray dooku stories, pls do more!!

[@ninjamasterbuilder8675]

Grevious and Anakin being friends in this timeline, I like it, mostly since both were used and molded into weapons for the sith in the main universe

[@marcusisgod2592]

What if anakin was piloting before attack of the clones and sensed ventress fall to the darkside as her master died and took his ship to the planet to investigate. Perhaps starting a romance as they are very similar in their stories. Also what if ahsoka taught ben skywalker as she saw him as history repeating itself. What if anakin was a jedi watchmen or wayfinder. What if anakin went with kenobi to face maul and savage instead of adi gallia. What if anakin fell in love with luminara or your own version of aayla secura romance. What if oppo rancis trained anakin. What if anakin met and fell in love with ventress just before the clone wars just after her masters death. What if anakin became a jedi sentinel like a watchmen or one of those who find younglings. What if evan piel became a mentor or second master to anakin. Or anakin became a healer either before or after his mother death could be related to his friendship with offee or alternatively what if he was trained by tra sa who taught windu and actually did not forbid attachment as shown by her relationship with tholme , they could become like a pseudo parents to anakin and train him away from the temple in azati martial arts and from trasa the living force as she is a plant lady so imagine anakin controlling plant life.

[@CliffCardi]

What if the Rakata returned (cured of their force insensitivity) during the Clone Wars?

Everyone loses but them

[@nfinity1421]

This was a fantastic story, thank you for writing and reading it. I loved the political games, the philosophical debates, the space battles and the droid army used in a positive light. You're one of the only authors who write stories with the latter two, and while others might include a space battle, no-one else writes droid stories (this being the 3rd). With the inclusion of featuring Oppo, you would have won me over, but this story was so inclusive with so many characters, senators and Jedi alike that never felt too many, and often just the right nod to where they fit. I also enjoyed the evolution of Dooku, not dismissing his wrong doings like the murders he committed, but not lingering on them either. From beginning to end, it was a very captivating story that had its tragedies and triumphs with an overall positive ending that was an incredible journey to get to.

[@marikam2998]

@nfinity1421 This is indeed a very good story. Although, All the stories from the Grand Master are always good.

[@nfinity1421]

@@marikam2998 His stories are always very well written indeed.

[@dreadrath]

A Part 2 of this awesome what if would be so good.

[@majesticmsfc]

Awesome story mate, certainly fun to watch. Keep up the great work.

[@strikeforce1500]

Obi-Wan,Ventress,Anakin,Grievous, and Dooku in the same side is such a chaotic party

[@alias6149]

Two ideas 1) What if Tarkin overthrew Palpatine and became a military dictator. 2) What if Doku left and formed his own jedi order in the outer rim.

[@maverickdarkrath4780]

1) would probably end in the empires falling apart at a rapit place, the empire was practically built around palpatine, so his loss would cause the empire to fall apart especially if this is post death star , essentially the fained stability palpatine provided would be gone and sidius loyalists would start considering tarken a traitor and now hes has rebels and a mutiny to deal with

[@alias6149]

@maverickdarkrath4780 maybe. In my head, I thought tarken my just double down on the imperial navy and follow the tarken doctoren, except he would probably be even tougher on the rebels.

[@dkallday4]

I could never imagine grievous being friends with anakin “General grievous, you’re taller than I expected”

[@434444334]

12:00 he looks like dwayne the rock johnson and now i cant unsee that

[@thewanderingwriter4448]

Great what if story. What caught my attention was the referral of Jedis as being “expert warriors” despite them supposed to be peacekeepers (Qui Gon sure didn’t like to be called a warrior), and overlooking Ventress wielding red lightsabers. It makes me think that the Jedi could pick whichever side they want, do what’s right, and they’d still be blind to everything that’s wrong all around them. Very fitting 😂. Also nice parallel of Dooku taking Palpatine’s place as an “Unsuspecting Figure of Good Intentions but secretly holds power over the Dark Side”.

[@Our-SciHardware-go1ck]

This was surprisingly wholesome I liked it a lot actually keep doing this this is amazing work I'm incredibly impressed at what you're able to produce the next step in your production should be maybe finding someone to create animated content for the parts you can't use images for just a thought awesome story lines every time keep it up 😁👏😁

[@darkangel2752]

One of the best what if's ever

[@thewanderingwriter4448]

You got to feel awful for the clones. It was bad enough that they were forced to kill the Jedis in canon, many of them they were close friends with and fought side by side. Here, they were forced to turn on the people they were sworn to protect. Can’t imagine how many of them tried so hard to resist but failed to.

[@antoniotv4040]

This is so good ! You have to be the ones who makes the reduction of the clone wars . I only wished if there were a commando droid who will be replacing Rex and the other clones !

[@sarahbarnes9648]

What if the clones joined the CIS

[@stacykerpet5739]

Yesss

[@sovereigndayyouthkafir3943]

This is one of my favorite what if's that I've ever seen/listened to from your channel--kudos!

[@stevencisneros9306]

Neat what-if story, it’s interesting to see Anakin & Obi-Wan teaming with Grievous & Asajj, heck it’s also REALLY interesting to see the Jedi fighting alongside the droid army!! Also try doing….what if Padme became half droid, just for shock and almost graphic purposes lol

[@Shockwave377]

I’m surprised Ahsoka wasn’t added into the story since you killed off Pol koon it would be interesting how she would react to his death

[@tri-sapien6487]

A lot of these videos give me the impression that we experienced one of the darkest Star Wars timelines.

[@YamiRondo2]

No lie this exceeded my expectations 🔥🔥🔥

[@Tardycripple]

Been giving this idea to another creator for months glad u did it

[@SteveScotsman]

Padme catching Luke smoking death sticks but plot twist she smokes them too in order to keep her sanity being a Senator.

[@tobiasneethling8871]

i'm not really sure if grievous would fight alongside the jedi given that he hated them for not helping his planet in the fight against that bug species and he also blames them for becoming a cyborg. cool story though and i wish it could be explored further.

[@samesteak7717]

Man I can’t get enough of your vids! I know you get a lot of suggestions but one I would like to see would be, what if the Death Star destroyed Yavin 4 instead of Alderaan? Keep up the amazing work!
