That is somewhat true considering that Darth Malgus killed his lover, after the sack of Coruscant, simply because he realized he truly loved her.
The problem for the movie would be to not have the population think "the sith are so badass" (for obvious reasons) or "the sith are so evil that we must fight for the republic at any price" (because it's a pro-palpatine reaction). You would need a movie showing that the sith are evil, that it was the jedi and not the republic army that resolve the threat and without be pro-republic (maybe showing a infiltration of the republic by the sith?).
It's a movie. You do not need an exact biography of a sith lord, just somethings were you can say "that? Yes darth X did it. He killed X millions people". And you need to do that without have the eternal hate from palpatine.

I'd say that any movie we make should be the Saga of Revan which should be a semi-historical story that tells the rise, fall and then redemption of Revan. Hell I can see Malacor being the perfect place to end the first movie, something to act as a bitter punch to the audience.
Honestly, just a series of movies showing one of the conflicts with the Sith would probably do wonders for the awareness of the average person, heck, why not go with Revan's story? HK would be an excellent source and would love it.
It's a shame so much knowledge of the New Sith Wars has been lost.

The only problem is that Revan falls in love and eventually marries. The Jedi will not like that due to their vow to forever be prunes.
The Jedi really are gluttons for punishment aren't they?
Still, would they really make a teenage padawan a commander in the GAR in this version of events? Really?

Meh, just put a disclaimer at the start that the Jedi Order depicted in the movie is the Order of 'insert time' and so it's positions may not reflect the current Order.

I'd remind you that said teenage padawan has been taking strategy lessons from Thrawn in this continuity.
She'll be fine.
Being able to be an effective officer takes some actual experience and the world.

I just saw the six movies. I do not know enough of the extended universe to say which sith live adaptation would be better in-quest for the propaganda that we want to diffuse.
I just say that this propaganda would need to be anti-sith, relatively pro-jedi and not pro-republic. The better would be if it had pro-CNS additional elements.

...Look if it breaks your SoD that badly just consider her to be an "officer-in-training" or something. Don't worry about it so much.
Well she does get experience from Skywalker. Mostly following him into the crazy situations and pulling him out of them when he screws up. I consider he to have on the job training (The Council sent her out at such a young age as they thought Ahsoka might make Anakin more responsible, instead he created someone who took his view of the Galaxy and ultimately improved upon it) and Thrawn provided roundabout cram sessions.
Honestly, elements praising the founding principles and spirit of the Republic amount to pro-CNS propaganda, emphasise the Republic's position as the attacked, defensive polity, make principles and justice paramount etc.
Heck, the Soldiers of the Old Republic were volunteers rather than clones, of the CIS, the CNS and the Republic which of them have volunteer soldiers rather than enslaved sapients?
The CNS can easily style itself as the inheritor of the spirit of the Republic.
Personally, I do not think that would even be necessary. In fact, Ciaran might even like the fact that Revan married considering that she loves to tease Anakin and Obi-wan about their love life.
There's also the fact that the Jedi Council at the time did a lot of questionable things.
Eh, the issue is more that stopping the Jedi from inserting themselves into the general trap was one of the first actions we invested in that really changed canon and I am mystified by why people feel bound and determined to drag things back on the canon train for no reason in or out of universe that I can discern.
Is it somehow important for Ahsoka to be a commander?

Objectively speaking, no, but it's nice to imagine her being badass.
Wouldn't she get more opportunities to be badass if she were acting as special forces?
fasquardon
Maybe, but being apprentice to General Skywalker (as being a General gives him more freedom to pull his crazy stunts) probably means that Ahsoka got put in a command potion so he could teach her better.

For propaganda movies, let's also use KOTOR II. It not only reminds people of how dangerous and merciless the Sith can be. Hell, the Miralukas' reaction would show that at least Nihilus isn't a fabrication, but was once a real Sith Lord. Traya shows how treacherous they can be and how they can plan the slaughter of entire planets rather easily. Palpatine loves it since Traya keeps questioning the Jedi... even if she also does the same for the Sith. Of course, the movie must show the Exile being very, very remorseful for Malachor V, hating herself every single moment since then. The movie is of course rated Mature due to how little the Exile wears at first on Peragus, much to Anton's appreciation. (He is hilarious when you tell him you found clothes.)
Time for another omake count!
Also note that the actual cap for next turn is 44, not 46 bonuses.
Over the last twenty-ish pages, we've added another 9 omakes, giving us an updated total of 36 omake bonuses for the start of Turn 28.
Also note that the actual cap for next turn is 44, not 46 bonuses.
Because the Oracle Grand Fleet gave us increased odds for Martial Actions in space (rather than an additional Martial Action), we only have the Chu'unthor contributing to our action economy for Turn 28.

And ya know...they seem to act like special forces anyway most of the time.
That might justify her being made an aide. She does not appear to be an aide.
Which was what we were trying to lecture the Council into doing, after their complicity in the Huk war was revealed: do what you are good at, let the professionals be generals.
Evidently Ciaran wasn't as successful in this as the dice led me to believe.
