I hate the fact that the Confederacy and the Empire are portrayed in one dimensional perspectives in Star Wars. They were fighting for good causes as well. The CIS was fighting for freedom and equality. The Empire wanted to bring order and peace to the Galaxy, although the massacres are still unacceptable.

The Rebel Alliance were fighting to restore a historically corrupt leadership that ruled for millennia. The Jedi were the source of the Galaxy's worse crises. And it's pretty obvious: all the Star Wars movies are biased to the Rebels and the Resistance.

Give some love to Grievous and Uncle Palps.

And Darth Vader. He lived in slavery, and the Republic didn't do anything about it. The Rebellion was fighting to restore a corrupt government.

There's a reason John Williams made the themes of the CIS and the Republic so eerily similar. That's because Palpatine is controlling both from behind the scenes showing how corrupted the Republic has become. The corruption in the Republic is of course why the CIS becomes so popular.

The TIE Fighter wing is the Separatist Emblem as well.

But really, the Rebel Alliance is fighting to restore a failed government and the protection of the galaxy's worst warmongers in milennia.

Great.

since theres only roughly 1800 nations in your region, does that mean everybody gets an island?

Many people have multiple islands. Some countries are together on one island. Just because there are 1800 nations doesn't mean 1800 islands. Too many people fail to understand this

Gonna have to agree, honestly. That was what I liked about the prequels, for all their horrid mistakes and flubs they portrayed a falling empire where the bad guys legitimately had a point, and the contrast between that and the black and white of the OT and sequels is really cool.

Yes. I myself failed to realized the CIS' and the Empire's true intentions in the first place. Basically, they want us to say "Jedi good! Grievous and Palpatine bad!" They weren't evil as we thought. They were actually enforcing authority, something the Republic never did to slave planets.
