End and Name

Two things: One, do any canon sources actually state that the war is actually over as of Endor? It may be better to say that the emperor was defeated at Endor, allowing the New Republic to be formed, but the conclusion of the conflict is currently unknown. Also, is the Galactic Civil War a canon name? I always assumed that name came from the EU Admiral James Kaizer (talk) 18:22, June 3, 2014 (UTC)

  • The Star Wars Encyclopedia refers to it as the Galactic Civil War. As for the conclusion, the Encyclopedia refers to the defeat of the Empire several times. I suppose that could be open to interpretation. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 18:39, June 3, 2014 (UTC)

Beginning

Does the War start with The Battle of Tattooine or do the missions depicted on Star Wars Rebels count as being part of the war? Do we know this information yet? Skywalker2255 (talk) 16:12, December 14, 2014 (UTC)

  • We have no idea. The Lothal rebels obviously are not the full blown rebel alliance, being more comparable to a small terror cell. In addition, it is implied in Episode 4 the the alliance has been a thorn in the empires side for a while. I would say that the start of the war falls sometime between the two.AV-6R7User talk:AV-6R7 16:17, December 14, 2014 (UTC)
    • I know Dave Filoni said something about the show "showing the early beginnings" of the rebel alliance. So the missions they undertake are small scale attacks that are sperate form the war? Skywalker2255 (talk) 16:21, December 14, 2014 (UTC)

Alright that is good enough for me. Skywalker2255 (talk) 16:48, December 14, 2014 (UTC)

Beginning and Ending

The Beginning and Ending sections of the infobox are unsourced. If no one can provide a proper source for them I will revert to the earlier "before the Battle of Yavin" and "After the Battle of Jakku" Overlordjeff (talk) 23:06, September 15, 2015 (UTC)

Galactic Concordance: Does this indicate the Galactic Civil War ended?

With this "Galactic Concordance", as mentioned throughout the visual dictionary for The Force Awakens, it seems the war did formally end, with the defeat of the Empire and the consolidation of the New Republic as the sole/dominant galactic government. However, that may be assuming too much. Should we update this page indicating the war ended with a Republic victory? Reddyredcp (talk) 03:10, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

Rescue of Kanan Jarrus

Tthe Databank entry for Mustafar now claims that the rebellion's victory there was one their earliest of the Galactic Civil War. Is this another Databank error that mistakenly conflates the rebellion and the Alliance to Restore the Republic or could there be something more to this? - AV-6R7Crew Pit 22:01, December 21, 2015 (UTC)

Galactic War on Insurgency

Can we assume that this is the Imperial name for the GCW, per the Galactic War on Insurgency medal from Aftermath: Life Debt? -WTRiker (talk) 08:07, July 28, 2016 (UTC)

Battle of Scarif was he start?

I keep seeing pages linking to the Battle of Scarif that state that the battle was the beginning of the Civil War. However, it's sourced to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story which says nothing of the sort. And when I've added clarification and removed said unsatisfactory references, I get double reverted hours later. Do we have a source that states the Battle of Scarif as the start of the war, or was that just the unspoken decision? Or are editors making decisions where they should't have made? –Nivlacanator(talk) 05:23, December 21, 2016 (UTC)

  • In the movie, members of the Rebel council don't want to send anyone to Scarif because they don't want it to lead to war. That means open war hasn't started yet. That's why, when writing the intro for Battle of Scarif, I said "The Battle of Scarif was the first major battle of the Galactic Civil War, marking the outbreak of open war between the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire." - Brandon Rhea(talk) 05:26, December 21, 2016 (UTC)

Hutt Clan

I haven't read the sourced comic before, and I understand that the Hutt Clan was formally in support of the Galactic Empire, the two having formed an alliance. However, is it accurate to say that they were an actual combatant of the war? I'm not so sure about that, I think it may be stretching their role a bit. Reddyredcp (talk) 05:29, December 21, 2016 (UTC)

  • I agree with you. The Hutts didn't have much role in the Galactic Civil War as far as I know. They were just allies of the Empire.Edit: I have read the sourced comic and all it shows is that the Empire was going to negotiate with Jabba about the purchase of raw minerals or something like that.Harshg (talk) 08:02, December 25, 2016 (UTC)

Battle for Tatooine

Should the Battle for Tatooine from Commander be added to the 'major battles' section of the infobox, and the list of battles at the bottom of this and every related page? I understand that it might seem minor, but Luke, Leia and Han assisted, and that seems to be the reason a lot of other battles are listed as "major" here. Yo.-User:Fan26 (Talk) 20:56, February 6, 2018 (UTC)

  • Not too familiar with it, it could be added to the template at the bottom of the page for sure, not too sure about the major battles, how significant is it? --Lewisr (talk) 21:55, February 6, 2018 (UTC)
    • It seems pretty big. It's the focus of the game and there are many battles and events within the overall battle.--Vitus InfinitusTalk 22:15, February 6, 2018 (UTC)
      • Probably yes then, seems more major than some on the list already --Lewisr (talk) 22:24, February 6, 2018 (UTC)
        • Provided no one has any objections, I'm going to go ahead and add it between the Partisin Campaigns, and Hoth, since it's unclear when exactly it took place between Yavin and Both. Yo.-User:Fan26 (Talk) 03:39, February 7, 2018 (UTC)

Cassio Tagge as Commander

I think Cassio Tagge should be added in the commanders section, because as Supreme Commander he had authority over the whole military and hence had a part in the war effort against the rebellion. —Unsigned comment by 159.147.169.39 (talk • contribs)

Beginning before Operation Handoff?

Page 105 of Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition in Hera Syndulla's bio it says that she had a front row seat of one of the most important moments of the Galactic Civil War when Mon Mothma announces the formation of the Rebel Alliance. So it seems like the Galactic Civil War started before the speech unless this is an error. So does this mean the war starts as early as 2 BBY or earlier?

Timeline Placement in The Star Wars Book

In the Star Wars Book, the entry for Tarrful states "His anti-Imperial stance makes him a wanted criminal during the Civil War, forcing him into hiding in the heavily-wooded Shadowlands. He works with Saw Gerrera’s Partisans to mount a resistance at great risk to himself, narrowly avoiding Imperial capture that would surely see him executed as a traitor. ". Now that's obviously in reference to the events of Fallen Order. But Fallen Order's events take place long before the start of the Civil War. Can we take that first sentence to instead reference Tarrful's status during the Civil War as opposed to what he's doing in Fallen Order? Or is it referencing a different Civil War?

Galactic War disambiguation

Should Wookieepedia have [Galactic War (disambiguation)] or [Category: Galactic Wars]? Without reading thoroughly (particularly regarding which are Canon and which are Legends), so far i've found:

--173.67.42.107 22:43, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

  • That last point is rather off topic for this page so should be raised on that page's talk page. And perhaps a Galactic War disambiguation page would be useful yeah Lewisr (talk) 00:36, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
