 * We are aware of that. I am currently getting those who can help with tedious process. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:50, 12 Mar 2005 (GMT)
 * Anyone thought incorporating all the wikipedia articles, then delete them and make redirections to Wookieepedia (a parallel to our Wikipedia:article|article feature)? MoffRebus

Senator?
Does anyone know who the Senator to Naboo was between Palpatine and Amidala? -- Riffsyphon1024 17:26, 16 Mar 2005 (GMT)

"First full-scale war since the founding of the Republic"
Which character said that?
 * Im pretty sure its Sio Bibble, and the exact quote is 'there hasnt been a full scale war since the founding of the republic.' Oh, and please sign your comments. Durnar 19:29, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)


 * It was Palpatine who said that quote not Sio Bibble, and there were many full scale wars between the republic and other organizations before the clone wars (examples: jedi civil war, the sith wars, and others). Drake Zanzabar 10:44 15 June 2006
 * No, it was Sio Bibble. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:11, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Military
Did the Old Republic have an Army and Navy? During the events of the Freedom Nadd Uprising, the Republic deployed specially trained airborne troops called Republic rocket-jumpers. In the Tales of the Jedi comics, Republic troops are shown. They wear helmets and light armour similar to the Rebel troopers onboard the Tantive IV. The Republic also had a military shipyard at Foerost, as shown in Tales of the Jedi: The Sith War. During the Jedi Civil War, the Republic had a naval fleet most notably the Ravager and the Leviathan. The Republic decomissioned most of its military after the Seventh Battle of Ruusan in 1,000 BBY. The Judicial Department then takes over the role of the Army and Navy. 222.152.182.37
 * They definitely have a navy. Remember that courier that transported Qui-gon and Obi-wan in Episode 1? They probably just didn't have a dedicated Army till AotC. Narvi 12:13, 11 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, that ship, the Radiant VII, is just a diplomatic cruiser. That ship was not part of any navy; by the time of TPM, the Republic basically had no army and/or navy. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 21:08, 11 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Mm. Really? Then why were the Trade Feds so afraid of Senate intervention? They must have had some sort of defence force, if just to ward off pirates and the like. I think they had sector level defenses, (like, say, the Corellian Defence Force) but there was no formalized 'navy', persay. They probably could have organized a massive fleet to finish off the trade fed blockade, but, you know... senate corruption. Just off the top of my head, might be wrong. Narvi 10:00, 12 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, no. The Senate was the government of the Republic. Therefore, it had the power to shut down the Trade Federation in a trial or so had the "diplomats" failed. So, prior to AotC, the Republic was really defenseless. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 21:01, 13 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * The aforementioned Judicial Department had a significant force capable of dealing with piracy and small threats. Though the Judicial Forces weren't a military per se, but rather well-equipped police, they were still occasionally referred to as the "Republic Navy." jSarek 01:20, 14 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * As JSarek said, prior to the Clone Wars, the Republic relied on the Judicial Forces and the various home fleets of its member worlds. (These home fleets had limited hyperdrive-capability, so weren't usually capable of leaving their home sector.). QuentinGeorge 21:03, 22 Oct 2005 (UTC)

The Old Republic dis have a centralized Navy, just a small one concentrated in the Core Worlds

-SWF
 * How do we know that this wasn't just a defense fleet for a planet or system? Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 02:19, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It wouldn't suprise me if what was left of the Republic Navy was guarding the Core Worlds. What the Core wants, the Core gets. The only time the galactic government hasn't withdrawn fleets to the Core was during the Galactic Civil War&mdash;and that's because the Empire had enough ships to defend the Core Worlds and hunt down the Rebel Alliance in the Outer Rim. -- SFH 03:25, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It wouldn't surprise me, either, but I want to know why SWF thinks that this was the Republic's Navy. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 12:24, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well...I think the Old Republic had an army/navy. Though after the New Sith Wars, it was dissovled. Considering THEY fought wars before then, like the Mandalorian Wars.-HERADITE 1:13, April 4, 2006
 * Well, yes, we know they had a navy and an army, but we're not sure whether they still had one before the Clone Wars. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:08, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Lead in quote
Can we get a lead in quote that's less damning of the Republic? I mean it lasted for 25,000 years, so it had to be doing something rigth. Also, I was under the impression that the Republic's decline was attributed to the Sith silently interfering in the thousand year period between the New Sith Wars and the Battle of Naboo. -- SFH 20:59, 22 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Quote changed. Old quote moved to section "end of democracy". QuentinGeorge 05:56, 11 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Ahh, much better. Many thanks, Quentin. -- SFH 05:57, 11 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Formation
What is the source for Tiberius and Xobah? -- SFH 07:19, 24 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Nothing relevant on Google, so removed. -- SFH 07:38, 24 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Sounds like something from Star Trek. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:44, 24 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Behind the scenes section
Somebody want to thoroughly revise and expand it? I don't have the time or inclination to do it myself at the moment. Not only is it factually inaccurate (Palpy's line was in AOTC, not TPM), but it takes a needlessly damning tone towards EU "inventions".--Valin Kenobi 06:20, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I fixed it. :)--Valin Kenobi 06:46, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Nice job. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:42, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Symbol
We know when the 'current' symbol of the Republic (received form Dai Bentu) replaced the former one? Did it happen on Ruusan reformation? MoffRebus 20:40, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think it was ever said when. Admiral J. Nebulax 22:30, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)

First appearance
I think should not be Episode One, but rather one of those Marvel or Dark Horse comics. I just don't know which. I'd put Tales of the Jedi saga but I am not sure they are the first old republic-era tales. MoffRebus 11:13, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't put things at the top of Talk pages. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:59, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Tags
Does the article really need all three tags saying it need sto be worked on?
 * I think so, yes. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

terminology
I have the feeling that evenbefore the rise of the Empire, there was the term Old Republic, referring to the pre-Ruusan Republic. After the fall of the Republic, the term came to include all of it. What do you say? MoffRebus 12:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think the pre-Ruusan Galactic Republic has ever been called the "Old Republic" on its own. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:11, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Military section pictures.
Why must we have them? They add little or nothing to the article, and plus, they're in the main articles for that section. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 11:03, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The article has too few images for its size and importance. And no, the command ship pic is not found in the Navy main article, and neither the Clone pic is not found in the Military main article. The section needs some better formatting though. MoffRebus 11:45, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * So? It's a galactic government article. It doesn't need many pictures. And if those picture aren't in the navy or army articles, remove them from here and put them there. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:20, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * New Republic, although lasted only for 24 years has more images. MoffRebus 21:05, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, but most of those images are pointless as well. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:30, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The point is that I like them. Anyone who doesn't, is just free to remove them. MoffRebus 21:33, 9 May 2006 (UTC) :)
 * Remember, no one person owns Wookieepedia. Saying you like them doesn't mean they have to stay up there. And since you said "Anyone who doesn't, is just free to remove them", as well as the fact that no one else has said anything, I'm taking them down. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:35, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Images are down. I'm probably going to start removing some image on New Republic now. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:38, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * BTW I didn't say I own Wookieepedia; Saying I like them, means I won't remove them, and I leave it to others. MoffRebus 21:39, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I know you didn't say that, but "The point is that I like them" could sound to someone that you want to keep them up as if you think you own the article. You're a good person, MoffRebus. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:44, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, since no one responded to my post on Talk:New Republic, I guess I'm taking down some pictures over there... Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:12, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Check out timeline
I've made some improvements on the The Old Republic part of the timeline, if you think it will help as a reference. Jaywin 18:38, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Should this artical be split?
should this be split in to two articals for Post and Pre Ruusan Republic? we could use this one for Post Ruusan and redirect all Pre Ruusan details and information in to "Old Republic" - CorellianJedi
 * No. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 20:25, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hold on, technically it's a valid point. Palpatine's line about "this" Republic standing for 1,000 years confirms the pre- and post-Ruusan Republics are considered to be two separate entities - although personally I don't think we should split the article, we could do with a good reason why not. After all, we have the three phases of the Empire and the four phases of the Alliance as separate articles - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 20:29, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Except these two phases had the same name. Besides, the Empire and Alliance became different governments. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 20:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well actualy like i said we could name the post Ruusan Republic the Galactic Republic and the pre-Ruusan the Old Republic
 * We're not splitting the article. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 23:50, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Why not? We have multaple articles for the Sith Empire - Corellian Jedi
 * Those were different empires with different origins and formed for different reasons. -- SFH 03:08, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Still both Republics seemed to have diffrent forms of government base3d on how you word it with the diffrent heads of government and such -CorellianJedi
 * No. The pre- and post-Ruusan versions were the same Galactic Republic. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 00:24, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Representation
I wonder... Did the Galactic Republic assign influence to member worlds according to population or did all worlds have (in theory) equal power? Does anyone out there know?

(Perplexed-4E-Turnitee)
 * Well, they probably had an equal amount of representation in the Senate, if that's what you mean. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 23:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Sort of. But that can't be right. There were about a million member worlds, weren't there? All film shots of the Senate show fewer. I think...
