separatism is the path to the dark side

Don't read too much into it. IIRC, the whole thing was just a pigfuck set up by Palpatine to seize power.

Remember when some states from the US decided to leave the union, and that caused the Civil War?

Why do the separatists want to leave is a much better question

Separatism is the pathway to many abilities SOME consider to be unnatural

Did you forget about what happened in TPM?

It says in the opening of Revenge of the Sith
"there are heroes on both sides, evil is everywhere"

no side is supposed to be the good guys.

Lucas didn't intend it, but there is a "the Jedi are kind of hypocritical" theme throughout the prequels


The prequels take on a completely different tone when that nuance is introduced and elevates them.


But like I said it is completely unintentional so Lucas is still a hack

if you watch the Clone Wars series you actually see it was intentional with a lot of curroption and backroom deals going on to keep up the republican war effort

Separatist movement was started by Sheev
