Talk:Clone Wars/Legends

CompassionateGeneral?
What is the source for the first image on this page? It has a little resemblance to the image farther down the page with the Dark Jedi (which was stated below as from a WotC sourcebook). I absolutely love this painting, and I'd love to know the artist, and ideally be able to get a print of it!
 * Answering my own question. It is in fact from a WotC book, the Galactic Campaign Guide, and the artist is Marc Sasso.  Here is a link to his gallery with the image. - r0bman

Galactic Civil War
Does the Galactic Civil War really start as soon as the Clone Wars end? Our page here even says the Galactic Civil War starts roughly around 0BBY. I think this should be amended. --SeanR 11:56, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, it's hard to say. I agree that the Galactic Civil War, as formally declared by the Rebel Alliance, did not start until several years after, although resistance groups (like the Talz) began fighting almost immediately after the installation of the New Order. It would probably be a safe bet to have it begin with the formal declaration, but the exact date on that is unclear. --SparqMan 14:28, 30 May 2005 (UTC)


 * The article states that the Galactic Civil War started at the start of the Jedi Purge/end of Revenge of the Sith. It is understood that people were beginning to have rebellious ideas (i.e. the doings of Bail Organa, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Yoda), but is this truly the beginning of the rebellion against the Empire?  Wouldn't the formal date of the rebellion be some time shortly after Revenge of the Sith, but quite some time before A New Hope?--SOCL 02:25, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Some people are inaccurately lumping together the Galactic Civil War (ie Rebels vs. Empire) with the Great Jedi Purge (Empire vs. Jedi) and the Clone Wars. (Republic vs. CIS). For simplicity sakes, I say we have the Clone Wars as 22 - 19 BBY, the Purge 19 BBY - 0 BBY, and the GCW as 0 BBY - 19 ABY. This what most EU publications have, anyway.

 * The game Star Wars: X-Wing has small scale engagements which occur between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance which occur before 0BBY. -- Falmarin 00:53, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

A resource
Just wanted to point out this site [] as an extremely handy resource for Clone Wars stuff- including a timeline. --Fade 10:47, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Or just copy what I pulled out of that site and put on the List of battles page, and put it here. -- Riffsyphon1024 17:14, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * There's also info on the Clone Wars in general, including in depth details about battles and characters --Fade 18:08, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

First Galactic Civil War?
Could the Clone Wars be considered the First Galactic Civil War? I'm not advocating a name change here, but it does meet the criteria for a civil war. And the names Confederacy of Independent Systems and Grand Army of the Republic seem to imply that the American Civil War influenced Lucas. -- SFH 00:54, 11 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * The American Civil War is known by that name because the United States of America won the war, and from their perspective, the Confederate States of America was not a legal body, thus the conflict was internal. Perhaps if the Galactic Republic had not collapsed into the Galactic Empire, the Clones Wars would have been known as the Galactic Civil War. --SparqMan 06:14, 11 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * If the CIS won it would have been the War of Independence, or perhaps, "The War of Republican Aggression". :) QuentinGeorge 06:43, 11 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I think that was "Operation Iraqi Freedom". ;-) --SparqMan 09:25, 11 Oct 2005 (UTC)

New Essential Chronology
Anyone who has that should go through and make sure that all of the battles/events of the Clone Wars are included on this page. I'll try to do some of that later, maybe put up events here for more in-depth coverage--Erl

picture
What is the source of the picture near the top with the warrior with two sabers? And is it really meant to represent an event in the Clone Wars? Looks suspicious to me. - Angel Blue 451 00:03, 16 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * It's from one of the WotC sourcebooks, so it's legit. QuentinGeorge 04:17, 16 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks. Just making sure. - Angel Blue 451 20:20, 18 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Revert?
May we please revert to the longer content list to fit the pictures? --Razzy1319 05:36, 23 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Picture
Is the Sith character in the third picture wielding two lightsabers suppose to be Darth Sidious? -Stoll7234
 * Of course not. Just some Dark Jedi. --Master Starkeiller 11:54, 30 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps Assaj Ventress? --Anon80

Too long?
I have tried reading this article, and it's so long and complex it's mind boggling. I say more summarisation is needed, and perhaps the sections on the ORS, Coruscant, Utapau and Kashyyyk could be expanded. It's a daunting task to make this article even better, but I think it's needs to be done.

Begun construction. Any help would be appreciated. My edit went slightly wrong and...deleted...half the page.

Number of Clones

 * In the movie Attack of the Clones Lama Su says that 200000 are ready with a million more well on the way and if you need more you will need to order them they take time to grow. the war lasted three years not enough time to grow new batches so how could the Republic fight the war when the droids have supperier numbers like the 3690 million droids that escaped from Geonosis and the droids built after that?

Odd image
I noticed that in the JediStrikeForce.JPEG image, there is a jedi with a tiger's head. The head looks like it was photoshopped or something. Is there any aliens in the GFFA that looks like him, or is this a genuine case of vandalism?
