LOTR?

The pic resambles an awful lot like Battle of Gondor from LOTR, the soldiers wear the Gondor armor, and you see the gaint Mumakills. Coincidence? —Unsigned comment by 80.57.232.169 (talk • contribs)

Well, the giant elephant things are in the respective comic. The Gondorian armour? No. —Unsigned comment by 82.3.32.75 (talk • contribs)
- It looks like a whole bunch of still shots from LOTR (The Battle of Pellenor Fields & The Battle of the Last Alliance. --*someone42* 02:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

-WTH are the gondorians and Aragorn doing in Star Wars, the only thing missing here then is the White Tree emblem and the fact they use lightsabers.Where did this picture came from?

                                                   A LOTR and Star Wars fan.

It's from The New Essential Chronology. And there's not really an Aragorn character...take it up with the artiste. :-P Cull Tremayne 14:03, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Troops Charge See any differences? What a lack of imagination of the comic´s artists

LOTR and Star Wars fan.

photo bucket dot com )/albums/r310/blargh12/OhDear.jpg This encapsulates much of what is wrong with SW EU. Apparently, photoshopped and sent to the printers. This is really embarassing. Apparently, they took three or four of the frontmost Gondorians and just put them in the SW setting. People actually identified LOTR weaponsmith markings and everything.

- So how did they pull this one off, I doubt that the artist had any rights to the original film footage so how did they get away with a copyright violation like this one, at least I assume this is a copyright violation, Right?--99.141.187.143 02:26, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

Pic

I really think that the main pic is a problem. There were blasters back then and any army would have without a doubt used them over steel. I think it has too much basis on LOTR like 82.3.32.75 and *someone42* discussed, and is not accurate. However, I wished to know if anyone knows if pikes and swords were used in any battle in the Great Hyperspace War, then we would know if the pic is accurate.Cm56327 19:42, 15 August 2007 (UTC) Cm56327

Blasters did exist back then, but they were much harder to come by than 5,000 years later. In the comics, the Republic soldiers on Coruscant and Kirrek mostly used primitive rifles, but also spears and pikes and swords. The soldiers also wore much more primitive armor. Hope that answers your questions -- dmirableAckbar ^{(It's A Trap!)} 19:50, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
I think the current main pic from the Essential Force guide is much better than the one from the New Essential Chronology. It absolutely kills me that those comics depicted troops in 5,000 BBY using spears instead of blasters or slugthrowers. It just doesn’t make any sense. You can always hope that one day a book will be written that gives a less mythical view of the war, much like what Darth Bane: Path of Destruction did for the New Sith Wars.Darthscott3457 20:19, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
- Ugh. That is the most horrible idea I've ever heard. -- AdmirableAckbar ^(Talk) 06:56, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

This is the biggest load of poodoo. they had blasters during this time. If they could travel through space all accross the galaxy they had the technology to have blaster abundently. Now if they used archaic weapons during this war it was because they wanted to, maybe cerimonal troops or something. At this time the old republic had been formed for more thant 20000 years. I find it hard to believe this would be new tech for a space fairing society that had been doing so for 20000 years.69.89.128.5 21:56, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Greatest Jedi?

Hey guys or gals, this is really random but who is the greatest jedi of all time because marka ragnos is the greatest dark lord of the the sith so who is the greatest jedi?

That's a very subjective question first of all. The answer can only be based on opinion. And second, this question has nothing to do with the article. This sort of question belongs in the Knowledge Bank or some other forum, so please ask again there. Tarvin Calaan 19:21, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Timeline

Why is it placed in 5000 BBY? The timeline at the beginning of the Fall of the Sith Empire gives the 4990 BBY date.QuiGonJinn^(Comlink) 17:10, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Some of the timelines in the Dark Horse books themselves can be a little suspect. I know that on the Omnibus that date is given for the Fall of the Sith Empire, but it doesn't fit with what's been established in numerous other sources. Also, Golden Age of the Sith and FotSE lead directly into each other so a ten year gap wouldn't make any sense at all. I'm not sure what the story is behind that date but I wouldn't pay it much heed. :-) -- AdmirableAckbar ^(Talk)
- OK, if the Great Hyperspace War happened in 5000 BBY, then why is the date of the Empire's dissolution is 4990 BBY?QuiGonJinn^(Comlink) 18:59, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
  - Sorry for reopening the topic, but I think we should really start cleaning that up. I just edited the page, making it only show 5,000 BBY, and the article for the 2nd Battle of Korriban agrees with me. But yes, many other things list the incorrect omnibus date of 4,990 BBY. There's no way the war lasted ten years. Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith 13:52, September 3, 2009 (UTC)
    - Sorry for opening this topic again, but the Omnibus does say 4,990 BBY as the events of The Fall of the Sith Empire. This ultimately means there is a monumental stuff up in all dates of the Great Hyperspace War, because the events of the Great Hyperspace War occur in The Fall of the Sith Empire...... meaning all dates of the Great Hyperspace War must start at 4,990 BBY and end that same year. It doesn't matter if it doesn't seem likely that Gav and Jori Daragon were trapped in the Sith Empire for ten years, it is what is canon, we can't ignore it. Bottom line is: Golden Age of the Sith from Gav and Jori arriving on Korriban to Kressh attacking Khar Delba occurred in 5,000 BBY, ten years later in 4,990 BBY the events of The Fall of the Sith Empire occur, from the beginning of the Great Hyperspace War to Sadow fleeing to Yavin IV banished by Kressh and escaping the Republic. —Obi-wan Jacobi 11:25, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
      - No it isn't. An erroneous OOU timeline does not supersede the dozens of sources (the NEC is but one at hand) which establish that all of the events leading up to and including the Great Hyperspace War occurred in the one year, 5000 BBY. If you want to make any changes you'll need to refute this with more than a single dodgy timeline. -- AdmirableAckbar ^(Talk) 16:31, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
        Yeah, it's all settled now, it seems that the Omnibus is the only source that states 4,990 BBY, whereas others all state 5,000 BBY. We sorted it on the 5,000 BBY talk page. I feel it was good to settle this fully anyway, instead of just ignoring it, or leaving it at "Nahh, that doesn't seem right". Now we can say for sure that it occurred in 5,000 BBY and not ten years later as confirmed by multiple sources. :) —Obi-wan Jacobi 21:58, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Duplicate Appearances

Is there a reason that Crosscurrent appears twice in the "Appearances" section? I realize that the story takes place in two periods, but does that warrant a duplication? --Bbucommander 16:09, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Genocide?

Is it ever explicitly stated or shown anywhere that the Republic and Jedi attempted to commit genocide against the Sith species after the war? I know it's pretty heavily implied by several sources, especially the TOR timeline bit for the Great Hyperspace War, but I don't think I've ever seen anything that outright says it happened. Othalan 21:19, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Dude, simply there was NO one sith species representatives on Corriban or Ziost or other former Empire planets before Vitiate's Empire returned and attacked Republic in their vengeful crusade during the Great Galactic War in 3681-3653 BBY. Well, think yourself why is that. Mortemus (talk) 11:21, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Foerost

The article mentions portions of the fleet attack Foreost-should we create a page for the attack on Foerost? Fan26 (Talk) 15:59, September 25, 2018 (UTC)

Known battles

Why do you need this list if you already have this source on this article? Mortemus (talk) 11:17, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Ideally the contents in the article should be referenced, while the navboxes at the bottom of the page (like the one you pointed out) are not. Additionally, since there are people that stop reading once they get to the appearances/sources sections, I'd say it makes sense to keep it in the body.
