SW battles don't tend to see large scale conflict like in the middle-ages and shit. There's no troop formations marching into battles under banners.

It's nothing like modern combat.
Sith Pre-PT and PT are special cases, because the few Sith remaining follow the RoT code. Thus, their numbers are massively low compared to almost every other era.
The SWTOR definitely should be the most powerful era overall.
Vitiate, Wrath II, Scourge, Dread Masters, Darth Nox, Darth Jadus, Darth Malgus, Darth Thanaton, Darth Marr... Those are just a few.
In the Jedi Order we have guys like Kao Cen Darach, HoT, Revan, Satele Shan, Barsen'thor, Ven Zallow, Tol Braga.
The PT era has more powerful Jedi, but fewer, and only a handful of Sith.

The Clone War was notably larger than what had come before in terms of troops and scale and even then there is only visibly a few thousand on each side in that link. Geonosis is the biggest and most conventional battle we see I think.

The droid army was in the quadrillions or something though.Also **** that 3 million number. Though.... wouldn't that actually prove my point about smaller numbers?
The correct answer to her question is that the reason for why one of the most important battles in Cold War only had 50,000 men in it is because Star Wars writers are and always have been terrible at understanding scale.
The point of referencing the Clone Wars is to show that, no, Star Wars has never used modern war tactics. From the Original Trilogy to the Old Republic comics and beyond, it's pretty much always been two huge groups of people smashing into each other.

Well also because that was a battle for a single fortress, whereas obviously in most cases an invading force needs to conquer the entire planet so they spread out their forces more.
Ok.
Uh, does it? The only big battle in the OT is on Hoth and it's mostly AT-AT's fighting planes and them fighting in the base itself. Space battles are obviously big but that doesn't count. I mean, Endor? Then in the PT we see clones fighting in the city on Utapau and in small scale conflicts on Mygeeto, Kashyyyk and Felucia. I'm not saying there aren't some big battles but not really 50,000 big in one place. Most of the fighting takes place in urban cities or in alien forests or caves or whatever.
