Line 18:
** {{spoiler|Pong Krell}}. This needs some elaboration. {{spoiler|When introduced, he seemed to be the standard [[General Ripper]], just following orders no matter what the casualties. This is unexpected from a Jedi, but there have been some like that in the past (like how the [[Knights of the Old Republic II|Jedi Exile]] and other Jedi were in Mandalorian Wars, or in the last Sith War a thousand years prior). Then he orders the death of Jesse and Fives, as well as a court martial for disobeying orders after they saved the day by doing so. ''Then'' he truly crosses the [[Moral Event Horizon]]-he plays two armies of Clone Troopers against each other by saying that there were infiltrators, having them kill each other. And shortly after that, he confesses that he's been ''trying'' to lose as many clones as possible because his plan was to sabotage the Republic war effort from within in order to ingratiate himself to Count Dooku and become the Sith Lord's next apprentice.}}
** Keeper Agruss the Zygerrian is a slaver, which is bad in itself, but goes above and beyond the call of duty on that. In particular, he has no problem casually murdering dozens of slaves if it means breaking a Jedi, tortures and kills other slaves for Obi-Wan's defiance, not only making his help unproductive but actually alienating those he seeks to protect. He truly earns his credentials at the end. The Republic has arrived and it's quite clear he's lost. What does he do? Set the system to dump the slaves into the abyss, smashes the panel to prevent Obi-Wan from saving them (Ahsoka manages to get them to safety), then gloats about how Obi-Wan can't retaliate because he's a Jedi. His death at Rex's hands was very deserved. Even the queen had a redeeming moment at the end. This guy was just straight-up ''evil.''
** Dr. Nuvo Vindi is the [[Monster of the Week]] for the season 1 two-parter " Blue Shadow Virus" and "Mystery of a Thousand Moons", and the [[Mad Scientist]] who recreated the titular virus, a disease that kills all who contract it and which no lifeform is immune to, after it had been wiped from the galaxy. Vindi not only brought the virus back, he converted it to an airborne strain so it could spread more easily. Vindi's ultimate plan is to send a virus-laden bomb to each key Republic star system, creating a galaxy-wide plague that could kill entire planetary populations. When his operation iss put at risk by the Republic, Vindi just decides to prematurely activate the bombs while they're still on world, with the intention of killing everyone on Naboo, himself included. Though hired by the Separatists to perform these actions, it's clear that Vindi takes great joy in his work, and sees unleashing the revived virus as passing judgement on the galaxy that once "murdered" it.
** Wat Tambor, Foreman of the Techno Union and former Emir of Ryloth, is a vile force even among the Separatist Council. Using his position as Emir to oppress and starve the Twi'lek populace of Ryloth while having resistance fighters massacred even after forcing them into surrender, Tambor responds to the Republic's attempts to liberate the planet by using Twi'lek people as living shields to dissuade them from attacks. Tambor eventually gives up on the planet, ordering Twi'lek villages full of women and children wiped out and trying to firebomb the entire planet to wipe out it and its populace to spite the Republic, attempting to make off with its riches to further salt the wound. As Foreman of the Techno Union, Tambor leads horrendous experiments against sentient creatures on Skako Minor, using fallen Clone Echo as a living computer and forcing him to experience the last moments before his "death" for months on end and trying to use his organic decimator to slaughter Anakin and the Bad Batch when they try and free him — testing its effects on a Poletec subject before them and cruelly dismissing it and Echo as mere Techno Union property. Vile, smug, and cowardly,
* [[Critical Backlash]]: Not so much the series, but the movie was universally panned by critics and many long time ''Star Wars'' fans, even though it wasn't that bad for a pilot arc.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]:
