Swtore says that the early Kotor period was actually fairly weak militarily due to an overreliance on the Jedi. After Kotor they established a massive military that could stand on it's own. In fact, it states that before the Jedi Civil War, most of the Republics military was a loose collection of fleets from each individual member planet. And that they possessed very few infantry that had shitty equipment.
This was why the Mandalorian's and Revan's unified forces crushed the Republic so easily.

The Jedi Order was at it's combative peak, not the Republic itself. Though interestingly the Sith Empire was of the same magnitude as the Galactic Empire

The "Golden Age of the Republic" is probably the golden age of the Republic, yes?
Not sure what there is to discuss really.

Maybe I missed something, but what puts the OR military over other ones? Last I checked, the Republic military was pretty much in shambles...or well least up till TOR but even there I don't think it's that far and above greater than any other. Infact even still you have later eras having better tech, a wider variety of troops, vehicles and so on.

I know, but you can't exactly override the creator's intent. To be fair, they only referred to the KotOR Jedi's militaristic superiority, whereas Lucas seemed to refer to the Order just being in its overall prime (though he did reference swordfighting, so eh).
Heck, the *new* Republic arguably had one of the stronger militaries. An indecisive government once the Empire was gone, but a pretty good-sized force that had experience against a peer foe, and had some sweet capital ships and fighters.

Golden Age of the Galactic Republic = Rise of the Empire
Golden Age of the Jedi Order's combative prowess = TOTJ/KOTOR
Golden Age of the Jedi Order over-all = Rise of the Empire
