Adaptation Distillation: The concept of the Dark Acolytes.Durge, who was likely the most powerful Separatist fighter apart from Grievous and Dooku himself, was later reintroduced into the canon without any known involvement with the Separatists. The Dark Acolytes stayed in Legends after the Disney buyout, excluding Ventress, who remains as Dooku's sole apprentice, and Sora Bulq, who remained in canon but never turned to the Dark Side in the canon. Adaptational Wimp: Not to an extreme degree, but still a case.In contrast, while the villainy remains, The Clone Wars (and by extension the canon) gave a more visibly optimistic portrayal of the CIS by making Dooku more sympathetic, excising the worst villains and introducing the Bonteri family. Legends works set in the Clone Wars had the tendency to emphasize the CIS' most sinister and villainous traits, often giving the impression that the Separatist cause was a theoretically idealistic goal which was nonetheless only supported by psychos and douchebags.
