Gabrielle Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Downsized by the time the Clone Wars era happened. All massive superpowers will have to do that eventually otherwise they would backrupt their country/interstellar empire. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I believe Episode 1 says that the Republic hasn't had a full-scale war in 1,000 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yeti of 66 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 This was a different Republic. The one in this game collapses around the time where Bane took the Darth title I believe. Some time after this one collapses, the new one if formed. Palpatine: I will not let this republic which has stood for a thousand years be split in two. Only a thousand for that one, so the Newer republic had no Republic army. They didn't need one either, they just did coilitions with other planets armies I guess.

EnderAndrew Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Yet I believe Obi Wan mentions the Old Republic stood for a thousand generations in Episode IV. An elegant weapon for a more civilized time. For over a thousandgenerations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire. Don't tell me Lucas screwed up his own continuity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laozi Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Or more so they don't both exist in the same continuum. The Kotor Republic is that of the EU, a timeline that includes the movie as its linchpin, but really can go into drastically stupid directions from there. Then theres the movies, and nothing that has happened in the EU has happened in the movies. Its like a different plane of star wars reality. People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

EnderAndrew Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 The movies have a Republic with no military, and it states the Old Republic of the prequels lasted for 1,000 years. The movies then say the Old Republic lasted for 1,000 generations. I'm talking about one movie contradicting another movie. Both are cannon. Neither are EU.

Lidda-Bit Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 maybe a thousand generation of sea monkeys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yeti of 66 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 He was refering to the Jedi mostly. The old Republic is 2-3 different ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NT is just a CGI dream that passed through Anakin Skywalker's brain as the electro-chemical charge dissipated from his neurons in RotJ. (This will all be made clear when the cut scenes are added for the 30th Anniversary Super Speical Revisionist Remake Blue-LASER-DVD Director's Hernia Gift Set.) As it is a dream, it has sugar-coated the entire experience so that we see only Anakin's subjective egocentric view of the universe (and it has lost a little historical accuracy as a consequence). Actually, Anakin's mother was a sex slave of Jabba the Hutt, and he grew up as a peasant digging in mud and f OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plano Skywalker Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 one way to look at it: yes, the Old Republic is older than 1,000 years but, until the time of Darth Bane, it was really more of a feudal system that pretended to be a Republic. After the demise of Darth Bane, a "true Republic" system emerged and the Jedi kept the peace....no need for standing armies during that time.

Laozi Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 ^^but you'd only say that if you were looing at it from an EU perspective. As far as the movies go Darth Bane is one of the marshmellow shapes in Geonesian Charms, a popular kids breakfast People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

Terry Brooks said Lucas invented Darth Bane, and explained the concept to Brooks to be put in the novelization. If you're making up a precedent of cannon, the movies come first, with the novelizations of the movie coming in at second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
