It's been the only major galactic power for a long time. There's nobody to fight and the various local militaries that later made up the separatists worked just fine for keeping the order. It would have kept working fine if it weren't for ol' Sheev and his conspiracy.

that's like if the US disbanded their military after the soviets collapsed, it still doesn't make any sense

didn't anyone say "hey, maybe we should have some kind of military in case someone challenges us or tries to separate from us? oh nevermind i'll just keep reading this script"

Palpatine's entire plan was to control and militarize the galaxy in preparation of the yuzon vong or whatever they're called.

edit: part of his plan. He still planned on taking control of everything regardless.

what kind of galactic governmental force doesn't have an army? that's the dumbest thing ever

see, this is why the prequels suck on a whole separate level. every time you mention something, you can think of a billion more creative and interesting ways it could have been done only to remember what actually happened and live all the bullshit over again

i thought it was actually pretty reasonable it had no central army, rather local forces, considering the republic was just a loose association of planets and trade unions with the jedi for security.

I never read anything EU related so this question might be stupid. Did Sidious or Vader ever go looking for Obi-wan after Episode 3? If I was Sidious I would try to look for him and try to recruit him. He defeated Maul, Grievous, and Anakin.

The worst part of the EU is what happens to General Veers (from the Empire Strikes Back). His legs were crushed so badly in the at-at wreck that bacta couldn't fix them! but he didn't want robot legs! so he zooms around in a hoverchair! also he got demoted or w/e b/c his son secretly joined the rebellion! and then he is forced to lead a suicide attack!

After Revenge of the Sith, Vader pretty much spent his time scouring the galaxy for Jedi who survived. I would think he did search for him but there's a trillion different places he could be hiding. Also he may have been nervous about fighting him considering Vader was considerably weakened force wise by the suit and Obi-Wan beat him the first time anyway.

The dumb reason he was weakened is that he had less midichlorians in his body so he had less force power.

Didn't Palpatine try to prevent Vader from doing this? And hired ex-Jedi's to hunt down their old allies? It is absurd how many Jedi were made to survive order 66 by the EU. I think at this point it's roughly equal between how many died and how many survived.

It wouldn't surprise me if he did try to prevent him considering if I remember correctly, he had no faith in Vader and pretty much saw him as the ultimate failure.

edit: Also I kinda agree and disagree with you. The way they're shown and described, all the jedi were surrounded by clones when the order was given. However, it would be pretty easy for a Jedi anywhere with civilians to survive considering all you have to do is ditch the clones, ditch the robes, and blend in for a few minutes.

It sure is a good thing we raised all these children to a life as disposable soldiers so no people would ever have to die in these star wars, eh? :downs:

It makes a lot more sense that the Republic would be the ones with the droid army, while the Separatists would use a secret clone army. They could have even kept the clones = Stormtroopers thing by finishing the war and deciding to keep the surviving clones around as soldiers.

I thought it was pretty hilarious that the Jedi are all unstoppable lightsaber ninjas up to that point and then they all just kinda get shot down effortlessly, and the only one who gets any kind of Force warning or whatever is Yoda

I mean you'd think that one Jedi master guy with the big cone head would have put up more of a fight than lazily blocking one shot with his sword or w/e

Rebel snowspeeder pilot Derek "Hobbie" Klivian flew his damaged vessel directly into the cockpit of Veers's Blizzard One walker.
Both men miraculously survived the incident but came out badly injured.


The pilot survived kamikazi! Any chance the force saved him so he can be destined to birth a jedi child that would balance the will of the force in the later future?

Writers can only make their characters as intelligent as they are.
Lucas can't even make a bog standard love story dialogue make sense, so trying to make 400 IQ Space Ninjas do things that 400 IQ Space Ninjas should do is beyond him.
Other than 'wave glow wands about and sense disturbances', Jedi do gently caress all else.

Probably one of the goofiest things from the prequels is the scene where Padme complains about democracy ending. Except the democracy they had sucked. Like, it was shown to be pretty much completely useless until Sheev took over.

The worst part of that scene is how underwhelming Palpatine's declaration is treated. "thunderous applause" = polite golf clapping apparently. Since he was supposed to be really popular or whatever they should have like jubilant mobs in the streets and poo poo.
