[@theoldhermit2601]

Even in universe I *could* see them adopting it after Return of the Jedi, with them viewing Yavin as the turning point and when the treasured Republic finally could return, with the largest swathing empire in history being toppled. However I could also see Operation Knightfall and/or the end of the Clone Wars as being significant enough for the calendar to be based around as well. Operation Knightfall had the most significant religion in galactic history ended over night, and in that same night, the end of the longest republic in history, and the rise of a new empire. The end of the clone wars could also fit as it was not only the first galactic war in a thousand years, it was on a scale almost inconceivable due to it causing a Civil War or at least tensions on almost every inhabited planet, making it larger than any galactic war between two armies could ever be. It was a battle of the culture and viewpoint of the galaxy, and it's end changed everything too. Sorry for the long post hahaha I just thought your comment was really interesting to think about, what events could be significant enough to have a calendar based around it in universe

[@teamhop]

Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

Yeah but don’t know if you’re confusing havoc squad armor which many confuse for standard trooper armor and they themselves mix it up on occasion, but the armor with the red lines is actually havoc squad armor, one of the republics most elite units and you can even see the havoc symbol on the armor itself. The standard trooper armor isn’t nearly as flashy or stand out but it’s still nice.

⁠@@loremasterxp3635and even then the Rakatans also lasted for quite a while too. They were also around for 10,000 years. It was only when they finished the Star Forge when their empire began to crumble due to the Star Forge feeding off their natural aggressive tendencies and then the Plague hit and stripped all Rakatans of their Force abilities, effectively making all of their technology useless and leaving them vulnerable to slave rebellions. The few who survived fled to their homeworld where the wars did not stop. The Rakatans we see in KOTOR are a mere shadow of their former selves, and eventually they would go extinct entirely.

Leftism is just generally any spectrum of leftist ideology (i.e. social equality/egalitarianism) What Palpatine did with the empire was nationalization and authoritarian/dictatorial structures, those systems of government however stand seperate to political systems. Both Fascism as extreme Rightwing and Socialism as extreme leftwing were at times authoritarian. Hell, you could even say Centrism was Autocratic through the system of Monarchism. Beyond that, Palpatine only really started nationalization of key sectors after he took power, which in the original 1970's star wars was a critique to the rapid buildup and political intertwine of the military industrial complex in the US under president Richard Nixon due to the vietnam war

Man Disney is the worst thing to happen to Star Wars we will probably never get good movies that go into this lore

Best Star Wars lore video ever

[@officialsumo6192]

Damn Geetsly, nice Content. I especially enjoyed that juicy tidbit about the expansion age. Truly enlightening 😂😂

[@jesperpetersen636]

It is a massive history. The Canon timeline is just a tiny piece of it all

[@groosalaug4477]

I accidentally stumbled across this video and I'm extremely glad I did! So informational, and you can tell you have a great passion for the series.

[@SR_brisbane]

dude, im like 40 minutes into this, didnt even notice, its so good - how great is this bloke.

[@Chasta1n42]

This video helped me a lot. I have notoriously small knowledge about the pre-clone wars Republic. Until now. Thank you.

[@renatastone5479]

This guy should make movies or shows revolved around the old republic/etc

[@satiivaindiica]

Disney had all the lore and source material of the past 50 YEARS! They could of made the 3 movies follow the legacy of the force books and it would of been amazing.

[@spaceengineeringempire4086]

Hell they could of made a animated version of the early republic based on fannon.

@@alsimmonshellspawn6021You see there is no pleasing SW fans, movies are never as good as books and so many fans would have rioted over it.

Favroite video on KZbin to date ive probably watched it at least 10 times

[@LiterallyPluto]

On of my favourite videos on KZbin, so great but ad breaks every 3 minutes is insane

[@CommanderSummit]

This is the history lesson of all time, something I would like to take an exam on and study for

[@bobclark1532]

Hells yes you dropped a movie right as the boredom started to set in 👍👍

[@kipo8454]

What an absolutely fantastic video. Thank you for these 2 hours it's been a blast, I learned a lot especially as someone who hasn't played many of the past games. Keep up the good work!

[@josephraffurty9293]

So been looking forward to this compilation video since you started this history series. No I didn’t know this video was coming, but still look forward to more ancient Star Wars history videos you put out. (Yes, I have been taking notes on my computer while watching, just like I was back in a college history class. I am that nerd. Lol)

[@johnathanmarlin3994]

Lol can you make a link for those of us who can’t watch the whole video (would love to, but don’t have enough time 😢)

[@TheBigExclusive]

Bro really thought he could sneak in pictures of the "Legend of Galaxtic Heroes" anime and thought no one would notice.

[@daniellebcooper7160]

Another well researched and well produced video, keep up the good work.

[@masch2540]

Freedon nadd wasn't even alive anymore in 2400 BBY. He died between 4400 and 4300 BBY. That was a misspell from your side, i believe. Otherwise it is a great Video

[@chillausmc]

Much gratitude for the massive effort to get this together and your work has earned you much praise. This video is now my quick bible of sorts to the timeline. You rock

[@DrMrKrabz]

Shoutout to the Cadians making an appearance, it's good to know even in the star wars galaxy, Cadia Stands.

Thank you so much for this priceless historical data! May the Force be with you!
