So when are we going to get a Star Wars game that actually depicts the “heroes on both sides” it aludes to?

There's an episode of Clone Wars with that title that shows that there are good Separatist people.

You can be a hero to your side without being morally good. However the Separatists are not morally evil anyway.

To be honest, thats pretty much The Old Republic games.
There is even a sith that figured out that you don't have to be a schizo goth kid with zero impulse control to have Sith powers, you just need a strong emotion.
You can literally be a Sith that does shit with the power of friendship in theory. Sure, his teachings are considerated heretical, since Sith consider being autistic edgelords a religion, but good siths do exists.

Heroes on both sides means that there have been victories on both sides. The trade feds aren't going to consider the Jedi heroes after they blow up another gorillion droids they made, and the Republic aren't going to go "oh what a nuanced viewpoint" after Dooku executes whoever the fuck for a separatist victory on a system.

And they're not good guys either because they were set up to fail. Any legitimate political reason any of the systems had for joining up was undermined by all the shit Dooku had them doing to make sure they didn't get too popular and actually bring down the Republic with genuine reform.

star wars is fundamentally about good vs evil. the sith wear all black and red and have ridiculous names like Darth Sidious and feed off hatred and cackle as they shoot lightning at people. why does every pseud faggot feel the need to go "but...erm...what if both sides were equally bad?" there's dozens of other IPs you can get into if you want moral complexity, but that's not what star wars is about and it's not what it should be about
anyway, just play kotor2 and jerk off to avellone's pseud faggot self-insert girl

another perhaps better example would be Bad Batch S02E03 (one of the two non-shit episodes of the show)
it takes the classic
>heroic squad of clone trooper commandoes fights their way into an enemy stronghold and saves the day
trope and flips it on its head. the clones are heroic but they're enforcing imperial expansionism, they save the day by hunting down and executing a separatist captain who is 100% in the right. afterwards they bring the empire to enslave the populace, and they start to realize they're being deliberately sent on suicide missions outnumbered until they're all dead
probably the only piece of Filoni Wars i respect

And yet the finale of the original films is the first of a new generation of Jedi ignoring the advice of the old that a Sith Lord is irredeemable so he can go out and find the one spark of goodness that yet remains in a man who has spent decades butchering innocent people, successfully turning him back from his evil path

A “hero” is traditionally some kind of great warrior, the idea that that heroes have to be morally good is more recent. The Sith and General Grievous are heroes on the Separatist side.

Never. Even if you count the word 'hero' to partake a different, non-moral meaning, Count Dooku is still the only one to whom it applies in the Separatist side. And he will always be portrayed as generic evil man, specially with the retcons to his character that made him a racist (lmao???).

Because he's Palpatine's apprentice you dolt. He's in on the entire plan to use the aliens to make a human run Empire out of the Republic. He's doing this crazy thing called "using them" to further his agenda.

>killing humans
He's a fucking Sith, he can easily justify murdering a few million humans to ensure human supremacy in the long run if he wants to. You think Palpatine, Vader or Tarkin gave a shit that Alderaan was a human planet when they killed billions on a whim despite the Empire only ever being shown to have humans working for it? Of course not.

Was he also in on the part where Palpatine tells Anakin to chop off his head? Was Palpatine in on it when Dooku told Obi-wan that the Republic is sith-controlled -- implying Dooku would rather blow Palpatine the fuck out once the separatists won?
Did Dooku never question at which point the Republic winning would not mean he gets fucking annihilated like every separatist leader?
>You think Palpatine, Vader or Tarkin gave a shit that Alderaan was a human planet when they killed billions on a whim despite the Empire only ever being shown to have humans working for it
Well they don't have a specified discrimination against non-humans like Dooku has (no in the movies) it's more, subtle as you pointed out in the setence right next to that.

Hero is a morally neutral word, much like champion. Ancient Greek heroes were typically assholes, but they were stronk and important, thus heroes. Dooku and Grievous obviously qualify as Separatist heroes.

Its not just about showing people killing children, people being slaved, cut up or murdered on screen with their dead bodies dropping like flies, its about trying to cover deeper, more complex themes or trying to find a resolution to a problem whose context isnt just "we have a bad and we have a good, how do the good suprass the bad" which TCW usually does too much stuff about, and just gives the Seps way too much shit to make them seem like a viable alternative to the Republic.

desu, if we just look at the movies and none of the secondary material that misses the point, Dooku doesn't come off that poorly. He's clearly a parallel to Anakin. Idealists whose desire to do good is twisted by Palpatine. I find it very interesting we never see "Sith eyes" on Dooku in the same trilogy that introduced them as a consistent thing.

Dooku is calm, measured, collected. He never really shows the screaming hatred we see in all the other PT Sith, even Palpatine has mask off moments in ROTS where you can see his unbridled fury. Dooku shows some jeering satisfaction in his rematch with Anakin, and despair when he realizes his own impending death, but never that raw sith anger. In AotC, he tells Obi-Wan Palpatine's plan, he claims that if Kenobi joins him, they can destroy the sith. He seems earnest in missing Qui-Gon and spares the Jedi strike force when it does nothing to benefit him or Palpatine's plan.

We get little time with him, and not much about Dooku's true motives are told to us. So secondary material tends to vary wildly in how he is depicted. In my estimation, I think Dooku was just a fallen Jedi, one who believed he could beat the Sith at their own game. He was outplayed and died at the hands of his replacement, realizing his folly.

Grievous backstory is insane. He becomes this revered mythological figure, gets the girl for awhile but she died tragically and completely shitstomps the invaders. If it werent for them crying to the Republic and his horrific disfigurement he’d be like something out of a heroes journey fable.

No I wanted to see grey areas in the war. I genuinely wanted a movie of Jedi commiting questionable or atrocious acts and Separatists who were looking out for their own people, disillusioned with The Republic or even have honor and mercy on the battlefield. Yeah it exists in the EU but that kinda media should be shown to an audience.

The EU is literally the only part of Star Wars that is interesting.
The movies set up the universe but the story is just completely uneventful, plus there's not a single good action scene in the entire frsnchise.

The videogames have done a far bettef job with Star Wars, when it comes to world building, writing and even showcasing what Jedi can do.

>>A new government clean, pure, direct: none of the messy scramble for the favor of ignorant rabble and subhuman creatures that made up the Republic he so despised. The government he would serve would be Authority personified.

Already failed. The Republic literally shat on a thousand shells of a planet with trillions. They didn't give a flying fuck about the rabble... CIS are no better than republic.

>>At war’s end the aliens would be crushed, stripped of all they possessed, and their systems and their wealth would be given into the hands of the only beings who could be trusted with them. >>Human beings.


You just described what the republic literally did in the movies and shows.

>>He would smash the Jedi Order to create it anew; not shackled by the corrupt, narcissistic, shabby little beings who called themselves politicians, but to bring true authority and true peace to a galaxy that so needed both.

Again... Palpatine did that for the Republic. And let's not forget the Galactic Republic was a continuation of The Republic and also dealt with the same people the CIS did.

Except also - they weren't corrupt. They did what they were supposed to do, just as CIS. You're literally just described the defeat of one system to install... the same exact system in it's place.

>>An Order that would not negotiate. Would not mediate.
Everyone negotiates when money is on the line. Everyone. It's literally the fundamental basis for all the evil shit going on in Star Wars.

It is, but the problem is the concept of Good vs Evil is fucking stupid. The terms are fundamentally grounded in relational moralism which is dumb. KOTOR also fucks that up too by assuming any one specific act is by nature good or bad. Like - stepping in to stop a robbery and potentially getting someone killed and revenge targeted is good because you've virtue signal'ed morality. But waiting for the robbers to complete their business so you can follow them and rob their hideout and help the people without alerting them - you didn't virtue signal and just helped someone, so that's EVUL according to KOTOR. There's no inbetween. To be a paragon of justice you must first symbolize your nature as justice incarnate and then mete out incompetent words and ineffectual change over real qualitative improvements systemically.

Star Wars is fundamentally and philosophically broke because there is no good and evil - just shit people like and don't like. And you can point to basically every single show or movie ever and show all the evil shit they do as good guy heroes, which they all do, and that fact will be proven correct.

ALL that matters is material conditions, not moralism. Did you functionally improve things for people. Congrats.
Likewise, death and killing is bad... but death penalties or torture for crimes is good... so... death and killing is good when you do "good killing". Likewise, not employing self-defense is good, unless it's a mook, then you can kill countless hordes of the poor hires. All that matters is the people in power never get removed and no actual change occurs.

The correct wars do. The incorrect wars do not.
Yoda much like Spock is generally wrong about almost everything he says and does. Which is pretty common thing for "wise" men in literature, because for them to be correct would be a problem selling the book and also make the story a lot shorter and less dramatic. Luke himself proves Yoda's way of attachments was superior to the Jedi code.

People rave about Andor but it's trash that has no idea what it's doing. The first season started off on a half-decent note and then rode off into a cluster fuck and then whole dumbass French planet as a trope which doesn't even recognize that France was down with the concept "empire" during WW2. It's problem was whose empire not empire and liberation. Nor were the french underground even fucking revolutionaries they were jerk offs, but so were the rebellion and that's confirmed by the inclusion of moth-ma... and you kind of have to because that's the end result - in the end, Mothma gets her way and fucks up all the revolutionary content of the rebellion for everyone to establish a third galactic Empipre called... The New Republic... and the old one was also neither democratic and was also a galactic empire as well when their actions examined.

Andor was basically angsty teen pretends to be revolutionary - when he's just a murderer for re-establishing senators into power again.
The closest thing to anyone even remotely good in Andor was fucking Saw, terrible actor - but he's always thrown under the bus too to the swerve trope where good points are made - but then stupid strawmen is done, then everyone forgets about the good points. Saw was the closest thing to understanding the Senate was garbage. No one else did. Even the "revolutionary" kid Nemik
>Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction.

That's from Nemik's manifesto. It's fundamentally incompatible with Freedom. Freedom is NOT spontaneous, it's a thing you need to maintain and work hard at and you need to be learned.

And to point out. Nemik's Manifesto in Andor is contradicted by real world understanding.

>The theory of worshipping spontaneity is decidedly opposed to giving the spontaneous movement a politically conscious, planned character. It is opposed to the Party marching at the head of the working class, to the Party raising the masses to the level of political consciousness, to the Party leading the movement; it is in favour of the politically conscious elements of the movement not hindering the movement from taking its own course; it is in favour of the Party only heeding the spontaneous movement and dragging at the tail of it. The theory of spontaneity is the theory of belittling the role of the conscious element in the movement, the ideology of "khvostism," the logical basis of all opportunism.

Which... the show, movie, video games... ALL constantly prove. The rebels fail. They also lose the new republic, and it was bad too. And they never solve their problem. BECAUSE, the writers themselves are spontaneous opportunists and like Andor, are the piimp of anti-revolutionary concepts under the rule of cool. "Here's a whooshy light-saber game/movie and some brain-rot, don't question it kiddo!"

Fundamentally, disorganization and spontaneity is the enemy the justice of the masses. Spontaneity is like saying - don't go to college, Math will just pop up to society, teaching is it is oppression! No. To be revolutionary, you need to understand the real world implications and philosophy of revolutionary and how these things interact. You can't just fucking wing it - because you'll always wing it to ideas of your enemies everyone was raised on. Harry potter-brain is not sufficient for complex political understanding of conditions and necessary action.

Also, Tony G himself literally says spontaneous pro-empire villains were not evil or villains because they were "complex"... and by that he means they were fundamentally raised by their environment and so aren't some "inherent evil", but again, the concept of good and evil is stupid. Syril and Dedra are irredeemable pieces of murderous oppressive shit. Because, that's what their spontaneous understanding of the world brought them - being raised by pro-empire stuff. Tony's position on Syril would mirror the argument that - Hitler was affected by his environment and did awful shit but had plausible reasons, so he wasn't actually bad.... which doesn't matter. He was bad for the world and for Germany and functionally worked to ruin the lives of people to put money in bank accounts of IG Farben. Syril is likewise a true-believer and decided to track to every slight against the empire's honor by the filthy poors.

Also, what's his face shooting himself in his office is completely out of character. The entire leadership of the republic would never think so little of themselves to off themselves unless under direct duress in the moment. They're by definition a coalition of narcissists.

The CiS were completely unsympathetic in the pre-filioni cwmmp. The ones in windu's home world wanted the "right" to basically exploit the planet and genocide windu's people, most of the CIS leadership being spineless cowards that followed Sidious out of greed and personal gain, and then imperial soldiers (in the Dark Time comics) that were formerly CIS that murdered newcomers. It's why you shouldn't feel bad that Grevious was killing Neimoidians left and right and wanted to gut the leadership.

I think the ones in Jabim were actually right and later the pro-republic faction that had to stay realized how the Republic was really corrupt.
