tired: the empire did nothing wrong
inspired: the separatists (prequel trilogy) did nothing wrong

The claims in "official" star wars canon (aka propaganda) is that actually evil characters like palpatine were pulling the strings. But this is biased and often malicious exaggeration, not fundamentally different from how various movements and countries on earth often get branded as "neo-nazis", "CIA conspiracy", etc

The Seperatists blockaded and invaded a planet with tens of thousands of autonomous intelligent, fighting robots and they did it as the Galaxies super power with the largest army and technological superiority.
