Banooby, trust, me all this Jedi eradication isn't even official SW EU. It is completely thought up by the guys at Bioware/Obsidian. They can't just say that the Republic was crushed for 1,000 years. Tons of stuff happens in the next 1,000 years, and they can't just erase it in a video game. Man, Nur Ab Sal would be having a heart attack right now.
