everything they ever said about the clone wars before george shat out those movies made it sound like the clones were the enemy. look at how america names wars.
it also seems like they should've taken place more than 20 years before a new hope, and the story is way worse for his not paying attention to his own notes.
Yeah, with the timeline as it is it seems like the empire at its peak lasted for maybe 4 years
The Empire is (arguably) created around the same time when Padme gives birth and dies. Luke is 19 years old in 4, 5 is three years after that, 6 is a year after that.
Assuming The Empire dies with the emperor, it only lasted around ~23 years in total.
converted into fascism units that's about 2 one thousand year reichs
Even then the senate is only dissolved in the first movie before immediately having their superweapon blowed up.
Yeah, the original films make it sound like all that stuff happened in the distant past, and that's what EU authors ran with. ~~tbh I mostly just love the Thrawn books and want more of that shit straight into my veins plx~~
there was a certain spark in the old eu that the disney well curated one just doesnt match. Sure there was a lot of weird stuff and even creepy SA shit in some of the old eu but the new disney stuff isnt all bangers either.
or maybe it seems cooler cause i was a child and immersed myself fully into Kyle Katarn etc etc.
