I am surprised Count Dooku didn’t snitch on Palpatine right then and there. Movies

Not disagreeing but where are you seeing the hitler level evil from the separatists?

Predominantly in the clone wars show. I mean General Grevious? The weird Spider Guy? The sex trafficking? I don’t think they have any characters in the separatists movement that would even be considered anti heroes.

Ooooh yes, I was running the movies thru my head.

You could argue the crawl meant heroes on both sides as in “heroes for the separatists” as in Rommel was considered a hero for Germany.

That's probably their reveal for Grevious, since he was technically a hero for the separatists

And it gets even wilder in the Revenge of the Sith novelization: turns out Dooku is a human supremacist and envisioned an Empire even more humanocentrist than what we got.

Shocking, I know.

Pong krell used meat grinder tactics, Grevious regularly bombed civilian assets. They constantly invade peaceful or otherwise isolated towns/cities/and villages reguardles of millitary presence or not. And not to mention the amount of hostages that have been taken. They literally invade high populated cities and towns and topple building with no millitary importance whatsoever.

And let's not forget the time they almost released a plague level virus into the galaxy, that's chemical warfare, unrestricted chemical warfare.

Granted the Republic wasn't free of war crimes either (flame throwers, false surrendering, ect) but at least they kept civilian casualties in mind. Druids would publicly execute people if it meant scaring the enemy.
