Slavery should’ve been the dispute in the prequels leading to the clone wars, not trade disputes

Okay, so I was rewatching the Zaygarian slavers arc of The Clone Wars, and it got me thinking, what if the prequels had used slavery as the central dispute leading to the fracture of the Republic? Instead of focusing on convoluted trade disputes, we see the Republic split over the right to use slaves, hence the Confederacy is formed because the planets’ use of slaves is integral to their economy. And when the Republic uses clones as a fighting force, it further erodes the galaxy’s trust of the Republic and the Jedi. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/3feRIlL
