POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!!
In the beginning, Count Dooku, the head of state of the Confederacy meets the Kiros Togrutans who say they are a peaceful people. Count Dooku reassures them, they wish for peace, too. But he uses only what a Force Using Sith would do...The Sith Mind Trick or Force Subjugate -- basically making individuals do what one wants them to do.
It was not obvious.
Then the Zygerrian Slave Empire was introduced as a part of the Star Wars TCW canon. The Zygerrians look like "cats" in TCW, but on Wookieepedia, they appear more human who speak in Easter European accent. They dress like nobility in uniforms and numerous pets. They are stuck on what the Jedi did to them years ago and they are out for revenge. They want to re-introduce the slave auctions.The parallels for what happened in real life are amusing to say the least.
The Confederacy of the Independent States in the United States during its Civil War, was NOT just about Slavery. It was about ECONOMICS. The Northern States could not compete economically with the Southern States due to the kinds of products and labor they had -- products like sugar and invariably slave labor. But no one really cared about the slaves, except for abolitionists at the time.
If Jedi are abolitionists in the Clone Wars, then why are they not stopping all of enslavement in the galaxy? How could they? They would have enforced the known laws of the Republic and stopped it with their Force Powers, some of those that grazed the Dark Side...
Zygerrian Slavers seem to be more about immolating new slaves than indoctrinating ones from birth. Beating down a new slave is a turn on for people. It is sick and twisted, but for some reason, it is like breaking in a new wild horse. The triumph of dominance. Guess the Zygerrians got off on that? With tropical pets they had, it would seem they specialized in exotic slaves that could be domesticated by warped torture.
What does this have to do with the Separatists? Nothing.
Because watching this episode shows an "Anakin" having another one of his outbursts regarding his "slave" past. But what it neglects is really discussing his "slave" future as Darth Vader except in a snippet pan out comment by Yoda.
There is another possibility, why would the Separatists who have millions of droids at their disposal WANT organic sentient being slaves?
Therein lies the discrepancy, the Separatists who hold true to the Separatist ideals do not want organic sentient being slaves. They enjoy their droid slaves. Droids are after all mechanical, therefore, disposable. No one feels bad for a broken down machine. But connecting with another organic sentient being within a Force powered universe is well, heart-wrenching. Not to mention this happens in real life. One would have to be a sick and twisted being to get off on connecting Force-prescient beings, torture and abuse them, to bend them to their will...
Then, that is what Sith do... And the lead Sith in this picture is none other than --Palpatine or Darth Sidious. The misery of others drives the Dark Side Force Powers. And now this "slave story arc" seems to be a REPUBLIC fabrication to blame the CIS for slavery!
But EVERYONE will blame the CIS for wanting slaves! The lies told by a wily old, benevolent Supreme Chancellor. That is a master plan of the Sith. Treachery. And not even the Jedi can foresee this one.
This story arc will be interesting to say the least.
