Same
Could this be the same Battle of Kashyyyk (Imperial Era)? Stake black msg 21:31, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well in Dark Lord Rise of the Darth Vader, It is never mentioned that Kento Nion was killed and his son taken. But perhaps that happened after Shryne's death Steves490 21:33, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- How could he be even named Kento Nion in Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader (book was released late 2005), since the concept of the game just started after presenting ideas to Geoge Lucas for approving?--Jedi Marty 13:29, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- I think this one happened at least several months later. Obviously the Wookiees hadn't learned the lesson from last time. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 21:36, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- This is bad for continuity. I mean, two large scale conflicts in the same planet in less than a one-year span? It's a bit unlikely, isn't it?

- True, but Lucas loves Kashyyyk Steves490 22:17, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- I concur and also don't think there were two separate battles in that short period of time. But on the other hand there were battles and projects when Clone Wars started like Dark Reaper crisis etc. Not mentioning constant struggles between Wookiees and Trandoshans. So, it's truly hard to say.
- This doesn't sound unreasonable to me. So the Empire conquers Kashyyyk and later that year, the wookiees try to bounce 'em off and get squashed. The only continuity error I see is the presence of starships that didn't exist yet (Imperial II-class Star Destroyers, TIE Fighters, Lambda-class shuttles), but those are pretty minor. -MPK 21:03, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- You have to remember, The Rise of Darth Vader was written long before the Force Unleashed even came out.
Victory
- Isn't that a Victory-class Star Destroyer in the background of the main pic? Steves490 20:45, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- There are two of them, see the first part of this [1]
18 BBY
There is clearly no way that this battle occurred in 18 BBY. According to their respective articles, Kento and Mallie Marek met and got married after the start of the Clone Wars and were married for ten years. This is impossible if Kento died in 18 BBY. Assuming that they were married in 22 BBY (at the earliest), then this battle could occur no earlier than 12 BBY. I think it should be noted that Galen, when he was found by Vader, wasn't a baby. He looked to be anywhere between 3 and 7 years old. Assuming he was 6 or 7, and the Battle occurred in early 12 BBY, then Galen would have time to grow into a young adult by 2 BBY as he is portrayed in the game. Anyway, I conjecturally put this battle in 12 BBY. If there are any major flaws in my thought process, please point them out. All I'm trying to say is that we should take the 18 BBY date out of the article. My theory is kind of a stretch, but for the reasons I pointed out, if I'm wrong then there is a major continuity problem with the Force Unleashed storyline. Tarvin Calaan 01:45, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
- It's no stretch. It's supported by the Databank:
"Marek's parents were both Jedi who took part in the Clone Wars; during the conflict, they fell in love and secretly married. When Galen's mother learned she was pregnant, she and her husband quietly left the Order, hoping to raise their child in peace somewhere in the Outer Rim. A short time later, Emperor Palpatine issued Order 66, which resulted in the near annihilation of the Jedi. Now living in complete exile, Galen's parents relocated to Kashyyyk, where they were befriended by the native Wookiees. Galen's mother was killed a few years later while trying to protect a group of Wookiees from slavers; Galen's father, Kento, died soon after, trying to protect the boy from Darth Vader, who had tracked the Jedi to Kashyyyk. When Vader discovered the Jedi Knight's son, he sensed great power within the boy and, after only a moment's hesitation, took the child with him."
- So, Galen was born sometime between 22 and 19 BBY. They went to Kashyyyk around 19 BBY. Then, a few years passed. So the battle has to take place after 17 BBY or so. --Master Starkeiller 08:40, October 31, 2010 (UTC) —Unsigned comment by R5-X41238-G8-R3-3124-D2 (talk • contribs)
- just out of curiosity, is the stormtrooper armor with 501st markings canonical or is the more standardized armor canonical? and also to point out the 501st armor from the ps2/wii versions looks to be a bit more similar with the later stormtrooper armor than the earlier phase 2 clone trooper armor... the big difference between the "clasic storm trooper armor" and this 501st kind is that the visor is one connected piece instead of two small ones for sight... a little bit of the coloration. but the shape of it is closer to the later stormtrooper armor —Unsigned comment by 4.248.58.97 (talk • contribs)
- Does it occur to anyone that this battle might be the one mentioned in Battlefront II? In battlefront ii the narrator says that the 501st would return to Kashyyyk as conquerors years after the battle of Kashyyyk in the Clone Wars, and we're briefly shown a stormtrooper with original trilogy-style armour. The imperial attack on Kashyyyk in Dark Lord happens only months, not years, after the Clone Wars battle, and it's done with mostly Clone Wars technology. —Unsigned comment by 99.235.239.253 (talk • contribs)
- On page xxi of Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force, it is specifically stated that Vader took Starkiller as his apprentice circa 18 BBY. Since it was during the Second Battle of Kashyyyk that this happened, this proves that the battle happened on or about 18 BBY. Can't get any more accurate than the most current canon source to date. —GethralkinHyperwave 15:00, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
