General Kenobi

not often anywayz
and I doubt generals have been leading from the front in any wars later then WWII, yet I could be misstaking

Sorry? I wasn't talking about real life.

aah okie, nvm then
I was talking about irl

Ah, well then. In Star Wars, Generals seem to be rather different.

In Star Wars it wouldn't be WWII, it would be the Clone Wars, with WWI as the Sith Wars. 😄

Actually they aren't. Yoda and Obi-Wan will both lead the army during the Clone Wars.

nah they give rank away like donuts in SW

I agree with Ush and Finti. They hand out ranks on a silver platter.

That's your fault.

What the heck are you talking about, Helmet? Generals ARE very different in Star Wars. They are very numerous and lead from the front. It was hard to find someone who WASN'T a General in the rebels in ROTJ.

Name 4 generals in ROTJ.

Nadine, Skywalker, Calrissian, Solo.

Ackbar as an Admiral is equivalent as well, of course. Though he at least was actually acting like an Admiral.

And that's it. Actually, Luke is never referred to as General.

How many Generals do you think are in the US Army?

How many US generals would personally lead assaults, Helmet?

No General in Star Wars has ever actually acted like a General.

Another absurd stray from topic. It isn't Earth and who the hell cares. It is what Lucas wants and that's the way it goes.

They are Generals and get used to it. They are Leaders who are willing to put their life on the line, unlike today's soldiers.

Jeez, Helmet, I KNOW that! You haven't bothered to read the posts again, have you?

Firemaster said he didn't think people like Yoda could be a general because a general doesn't lead from the front.

And I pointed out that Star Wars Generals aren't like real-world generals so that wasn't relevant.

Which you then rather weirdly took issue with.

You MUST read other people's posts properly, Helmet.

There is no point to. They lead the assualt on Geonosis and that's that. That is all everyone needs to know.

If you aren't going to read other people's posts properly then you should not bother making comment on them at all.

That's why it's a "LONG TIME AGO" in a galaxy far far away.

A Long Time Ago doesn't mean that they are stupid or something
