May someone post all the statements regarding the KOTOR era's military and Jedi strength?
__________________ "Vader's pulse and breathing were machine-regulated, so they could not quicken; but something in his chest became more electric around his meetings with the Emperor; he could not say how. A feeling of fullness, of power, of dark and demon mastery -- of secret lusts, unrestrained passion, wild submission -- all these things were in Vader's heart as he neared his Emperor. These things and more."
Tbh that scan isn't anything special really, it's just standard fare of how the Republic worked up its military again after it being scattered and in shambles. It's good, but it's hardly the peak.
Didn't say it was. I was merely providing evidence that up to Kotor the Republic's military was shit and only afterwards did they get their acts together and git gud.
Even in the Kotor CG it says as much, the Navy really being the only good thing and even then the Navy is kinda...meh compared to other eras. The Army is just a bunch of planetary militia's/merc groups and having no real unified commander until Revan, until he came it was mostly the Defense Ministry and the Navy commanding the ground troops...which is really terrible.
The navy makes up most of the military, though. The navy is always the only thing that's good in pretty much any era, aside from military secret intelligence.
Also true. And the lack of a really good intelligence agency leads to things like the Jedi Civil War becoming much more devastating conflicts than they need to be. I just don't think it's terrible when the navy leads ground troops, just as long as they're trained for it.
In terms of prosperity, it's probably either the first three quarters or so of the post-Ruusan Republic, or some random time period of prolonged peace/no sith wars.
In martial strength, it's obviously the height of the Clone Wars.
In terms of the Jedi, it's explicitly the Prequel Trilogy/the height of the Clone Wars.
