Talk:Galactic Civil War/Legends

A good guide for this article might be the style of the World War II article on Wikipedia. We need not describe each detail of every event (links to those descriptions on other article suffice), but we do need a better overall picture of the struggle, especially the post-Endor era. --SparqMan 00:41, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Well, you have to realize that the most important events of the war center around what happens concerning Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. So obviously some backstory will be necessary.--Naryathegreat 02:44, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Of course, but this article should probably be used to tie together the articles on known on-goings of the Rebel Alliance and other rebel groups, rather than a summary of Episodes IV, V and VI. --SparqMan 02:57, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * What is the policy of Star Wars Wiki with the creation of user made maps for the use in articles such as this? That is something that made the WWII article so much more relevent; the use of maps. I wonder if we could draw up a map of Imperial / Rebel fleet movements, et al. using the map found on the Star Wars galaxy article and correlating information with other EU sources (such as Star Wars: X-wing, Star Wars: TIE Fighter, X-Wing Alliance, Shadows of the Empire, Star Wars: Dark Forces, and other material which depict events during the GCW. Another point which I noticed on the WWII page was how the home fronts were handling the war; we could do something similar where we describe how certain important planets and sectors fare during the GCW. It's quite a daunting task, but I think that if we were able to come up with a good list of good EU sources, then we may be on the right track. -- Falmarin 20:03, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes quite daunting. First we have to know where everything is, by using those maps (Nav-computer.com's is much more detailed). But this is no walk in the park to chart the fleet travels. Europe was only so big. Here we are talking about the area of a few thousand light years in a series of engagements. -- Riffsyphon1024 20:09, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * How acuurate is Nav-computer.com's map; I remember a canon map which looked similar to it, although it was no where near as detailed. Is the Nav-computer.com's map a composite of different canon maps? Also, trying to figure out which engagements are important enough to include in the article will be quite hard. I've personally ordered a batch of the Star Wars Empire (comics) to get a larger picture of what was going on during the GCW. I'm also planning on playing through Star Wars: X-wing and recording system names, events, etc. -- Falmarin 19:35, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Start of the Galactic Civil War
Look at the Galactic Civil War article on Wikipedia, the war began with the Great Jedi Purge during the rise of the Empire in 19 BBY, it did not began with the formation of the Rebel Alliance in 1 BBY. The Purge should not be considered as a separate conflict. If you don't believe me, look up at the Wikipedia:Talk:Galactic Civil War. -- Eddyward Telerionus 17:33, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)
