clone wars questions...

does anyone know how long the clone wars lastest?

and in what detail do u think we will see of them in episode 2?

Everything in the EU says they last for a VERY long time, but I don't see that happening. I don't think we will see a lot in EP2 but more in EP3. Of course, there is a story to be told so maybe a lot of the fighting will take place between films, but I hope that doesn't happen, I want to see General Kenobi in action.

I don't think they will start in Episode 2 either, they will more than likely begin in Episode 3, and probably won't see the end of war.
In Episode 2, we will see Palpatine manipulating the Senate into creating the clone army...

Thats all I need

I think that the war will break out at the end of Episode II, with Anakin leaving as a young idealistic padawan and then we will return two years later, in Episode III to see the jedi ranks massively decimated and Anakin a battle scarred, war weary veteran about to enter the final climactic showdown on Alderaan.

I'm with CORE on this...it seems to me that if they have the war start at the end of EP2 then it would make the progression of "darkness" to EP3 even more dramatic.

I think they will still continue beyond Episode-III

same here, They end when Vader whacks all the jedi

I don't think so Merc. It will end when all the jedi fighting in the wars are dead, but not necassarily when all the jedi are dead. Besides, Vader won't end the clone wars, he can't kill all of the jedi that will be fighting, it just doesn't seem possible.

apparently 10,000 jedi are killed but i cant see how this happens so quickly.

I always belived the jedi`s and their ally`s where victorious in the clone war. But the war cost the jedi`s so much that they were in no shape to stand against Palpy and his "buddies", the empire,just waiting in the shadows for the war to end and then seize the day.

I thought that Vader was tasked with destroying the Jedi and that in the EU he only completed that task (Except for OB1 and Yoda) very close to the beginning of ANH.

Yeah, but thats EU. I am pretty sure that Lucas will want to tie-up all loose ends by the end of EP III. If he leaves some Jedi alive some authors will probably put them in the remaining books.

Yeah, but I thought that particulat bit of EU was based on a treatment by Lucas???

I think the clone wars will start at end of episode 2 , and the end of them will occur near the start of episode 3 , right just before anakins turn. doesn't OBi-wan describe anakin as a hero of the clone wars to luke in ANH? This implies they must end before anakins turn. I can imagine the opening scrawl of episode 3 being something like' the clone wars are almost at an end, the jedi are close yto victory but at a great cost etc etc etc)

I`ll buy that one KR, sounds good.🙂

this is an interesting passage which i found at the beginning of SW:Technical journal of the Imperial Forces, under the heading, "A brief history of the Empire":
"The jedi were systematically hunted down and summarily executed. The jedi found themselves being abandoned, betrayed and even murdered by those whom they had protected for so long."
I believe that Palpatine will somehow, after the Clone Wars, turn the galaxy against the jedi and have them branded as dangerous outcast's, with Darth Vader probably betraying and then killing the high council members.

That's right I think. That would explain why so many got killed off in relatively a few years. They might even get bounty hunters killing them off. This is where Aurra Sing may return. But that can only work if Jedi are generally considered to be a menace. Another Palpy mind trick.

Queeq, yeah that would give credence to a line which Jabba the Hutt had in ROTJ, that was ultimately excised:
"I was killing your kind when being a jedi meant something!"
It looks like it's gonna be open season on the Jedi come Episode III

Bingo!!!!!!! But how do "ordinaries " manage to beat a jedi in battle. I always assumed you had to be strong with the force to overcome a jedi. Like Vader would be a predator to all jedi`s. How do you hunt a jedi whose ally is the force?
