Crix Madine |} |} The Galactic Civil War (began to develop 19 BBY - ending in 19 ABY) is a fictional war from the Star Wars series of movies, beginning (in chronological story order) with ''Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith'' and continuing through the original trilogy of films ''A New Hope'', ''The Empire Strikes Back'', and ''Return of the Jedi'', as well as several novels, comics, and video games. The war was fought between the Galactic Empire (Star Wars) and Rebel Alliance, later renamed the New Republic. It is not exactly clear when the war began, however, we do know it had its roots as early as the end of the Clone Wars, when Anakin Skywalker, seduced by the power of the dark side of Force (Star Wars), became Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith. The situation had begun to deteriorate when Palpatine and Vader ordered the Great Jedi Purge (aside from the converted and corrupted Anakin, very few Jedi survived - Obi-Wan Kenobi and Master Yoda among them). Palpatine declared a new and evil Imperial Order (through both fear and force) throughout the galaxy, and as a result the Rebel Alliance was created to oppose the new Galactic Empire. The Emperor was pleased with a rebellion against his rule, because it would give him an excuse to get rid of the last remains of the Galactic Republic (Star Wars): the Imperial Senate. He could simultaneously display the awesome power of the Imperial Starfleet and clamp down on unrest against his rule. This confidence in his regime's power became his greatest weakness. The Rebel Alliance was not successful in its early years, but by one year before the Battle of Yavin (0 BBY), it was clear the war was in full swing. The Battle of Yavin resulted in the destruction of the Death Star, marking a turning point in the war and galactic history. The Empire counter-attacked (in ''The Empire Strikes Back''), destroying the Rebel base on Hoth, and began building a new Death Star. This second Death Star was destroyed in the Battle of Endor (4 ABY), which also resulted in the deaths of Palpatine and his right-hand man, Darth Vader who, as Anakin Skywalker, had returned from the dark side and sacrificed his life to save his son, Luke Skywalker. With that, the Empire suffered its most grievous defeat thus far, and one of the greatest in the entire Galactic Civil War. The Empire then fell into warlordism, but was still a formidable threat, and controlled much of the galaxy. The Rebel Alliance proclaimed itself the New Republic and began a campaign of recapturing vital Imperial worlds, including Coruscant, the former capital of the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire (Star Wars) alike. The Empire rose again several times under powerful leaders such as Grand Admiral Thrawn and a series of clones of Palpatine, but was always thwarted when those leaders were killed. Later, a peace treaty was finally signed between the New Republic and the tiny fraction of the galaxy that was under the control of what remained of the Empire, 19 years after the Rebels' victory at Yavin. At this time the Imperial Remnant, led by Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, consisted of eight backwater sectors bordering the Unknown Regions in the Outer Rim. ==List of major events and battles== *19 BBY - Formation of the Galactic Empire, beginning of the Great Jedi Purge, first organized dissent against Palpatine's rule within the Senate. *c. 1 BBY - Formation of the Rebel Alliance, under the leadership of Mon Mothma of Chandrila, Bail Organa of Alderaan, and Garm Bel Iblis of Corellia. *Battle of Yavin - 0 BBY - First Alliance victory of the Galactic Civil War, destruction of the first Death Star. *Battle of Hoth - 3 ABY *Battle of Tanaab - 3.5 ABY *Battle of Endor - 4 ABY *Battle of Bakura - 4 ABY *Battle of Coruscant - 7 ABY *10 ABY - Final Destruction of Palpatine's first Galactic Empire at Planets of Star Wars#Byss. *19 ABY - Bastion Accords between Imperial Remnant and New Republic ends the Galactic Civil War. == Operation Strike Fear == Operation Strike Fear was the name of Palpatine's plan to destroy Minor Rebel characters in Star Wars#Mothma, Mon and the Rebel Alliance.

Galactic Civil War



==When did the Galactic Civil War end and begin?== This doesn't seem clear, especially with limited information about the post-''Revenge of the Sith'' era. According to the ''The Essential Chronology'' the Galactic Civil War started about one year before the Battle of Yavin and ended with the treaty between the Empire and the Alliance. It's not exactly clear as to when the war began, but it clearly says when it concluded. However, ''The Essential Guide to Planet and Moons'' stats the war ended with the Battle of Endor. The Galactic Civil War won't be listed on the Dates in Star Wars page until this issue is resolved. Here are the facts as I see them: *The Galactic Civil War was the war between the Rebel Alliance/New Republic (Star Wars) and the Galactic Empire (Star Wars). *''The Essential Chronology'' says the Alliance was founded less than two years before the Battle of Yavin. *It is clear there was resistance to the Empire before the Alliance was founded, but we know the Alliance and the Empire were poorly matched (the screen crawl calls them a "small" band of rebels in ''Return of the Jedi'') so this must not have poised any real threat to the Empire. Therefore, how could the Galactic Civil War have begun eighteen years before the Battle of Yavin, if there was nothing for the Empire to really fight against. ---- The Galactic Civil War began during the rise of the Empire when Palpatine and Vader initiated the Great Jedi Purge and the first resistance to Imperial rule comes up. It's impossible that the war began with the rise of the Rebel Alliance and it is also impossible that the Galactic Civil War, the Great Jedi Purge, and the first resistance to Imperial rule are separate conflicts. The war lasted for 38 years and in total, the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War lasted altogether for 42 years. There was no state of absolute peace in the Galactic Empire before the rise of the Rebel Alliance. --User:206.255.32.51 23:56, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC) :Please provide a source that states the Galactic Civil War was not between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. If it wasn't, as you claim, then who was it between? -- User:Jon Hart ::Before it fought the Rebel Alliance, first of all, the Galactic Empire launched an extermination of the Jedi Knights and the first resistance to Imperial rule comes up. These events triggered the war. --User:206.255.32.51 23:29, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC) :::But they were not the war in and of themselves. The Galactic Empire was never at war with the Jedi; rather, it hunted them down and murdered them one by one. -- User:Jon Hart The Rebel Alliance was not the Empire's only opponent. The Jedi Knights were Palpatine/Darth Sidious's greatest threat and they tried unsuccessfully to arrest or kill him. The Jedi attempt to remove the Supreme Chancellor/Dark Lord of the Sith from office led to this purge that triggered the war. The Wookiees and Senator Bail Organa protected Obi-Wan and Yoda who fought against Palpatine/Darth Sidious (now the Galactic Emperor) and Darth Vader. Obi-Wan injured the Emperor's apprentice who was once Anakin Skywalker, his former apprentice while Yoda was forced to retreat after failing to defeat the Galactic Emperor. The actions of the Jedi against Palpatine were misinterpreted as an "attempt to rebel and overthrow the Galactic Senate and assassinate Palpatine." --User:206.255.32.51 05:46, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC) :Again, assassination attempts and state-sponsored murders do not constitute a state of war. Before the Clone Wars, there had not been a single galactic war since the Light and Darkness War almost a millennium earlier. If the Stark Hyperspace Conflict and the Battle of Naboo do not count as wars, how can the Jedi Purge possibly do so? Before the formation of the Rebel Alliance, all the Empire had to contend with were the minor skirmishes and acts of terrorism the Old Republic had been dealing with for a thousand years without serious incident. -- User:Jon Hart I'm reverting this article to the state Hiphats had before, because the war is long, and the tyrannical Imperial rule began with the Jedi Purge, thus beginning the War. User:68.6.250.105 19:04, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC) Incidentally, it is the events in the prequel trilogy that set the stage for the long war that will figure in the classic original trilogy...that's what the "Star Wars" saga is centered on. User:68.6.250.105 19:09, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Placing into context == The entire Star Wars saga centers around the Galactic Civil War, and the events that led to it. You are correct that many Star Wars reference books do give varying and different information on exactly how long the war lasted, but the way I see it is that if the saga does center around a continuing war, then it is clear that the conflict is made up of a series of related battles. So we can clearly place the Great Jedi Purge among them. Since it is Anakin Skywalker that indirectly causes the war to happen in the first place, we can clearly put into context the scope of the war, from the time Anakin became Darth Vader to the end of Return Of The Jedi. So, in my opinion, the war begins 18 BBY, and ends 4 ABY, lasting 22 years. User:Hiphats :The war was between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire. The Rebel Alliance did not exist until about 1 BBY, so therefore there was no war before that. Rebel cells existed as early as 15 BBY, but they were local, unorganized renegades, and the Empire was not at war with them. -- User:Jon Hart A purge isn't a battle by the dictionary definition and even if it was, we knew there was battle between the purge and Battle of Yavin, because that was how the Alliance got the schematic for the Death Star and it said their "first victory" implying there had been many failures before that. When know from the Expanded Universe (Star Wars) the Empire and the Alliance continued fighting beyond Endor. What was the war called then, if it wasn't the Galactic Civil War? We would have to have a new war starting, it's too complicated. :I have changed the timeline so the dates of begaining and end of the war are ambigious. It's my understanding the Rebel Alliance simply didn't exist until a little before Episode IV. Before than, however, there were various Rebels doing stuff, notably the Corellians and Alderaanians. To better fight the Empire, they form an alliance, the Rebel Alliance. Whatever, we may as well accept the fact that lots of Star Wars articles about this period in Galactic history simply can't hope to be complete until Episode 3 comes out.-User:LtNOWIS 22:49, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC) Why is the Great Jedi purge listed here? It's not a battle, nor was it really part of the Galactic Civil War.-User:LtNOWIS 05:47, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC) Episode III is now out, and once and for all the case concerning the Galactic Civil War is settled. As has been mentioned time and again, the war began sometime after the end of the Clone Wars, and the entire War itself is the focal point of the entire "Star Wars" saga. All disputes have been settled with my latest update. If the Galactic Civil War didn't start with the end of the Clone Wars, formation of the Empire, etc., George Lucas wouldn't call his serial "Star Wars", could it? After all, it was Anakin and the Emperor that caused it all. User:Hiphats 19:20, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC) :What on Earth are you talking about? Where in Episode III does the Galactic Civil War begin? What does the title "Star Wars" have to do with the Galactic Civil War? WarS. Clone Wars, Galactic Civil War, etc. You didn't see the Galactic Civil War in Epsides I or II, did you? If it's the focal point of the saga, WHERE WAS IT? How did Anakin indirectly start the war? Palpatine took over the Republic, Palpatine ordered the purge of the Jedi, Palpatine crowned himself Emperor and turned the Republic into a dictatorship, Palpatine had the Death Star constructed, Palpatine dissolved the Senate, Palpatine was behind ''everything''. Vader was just his enforcer. Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, and Garm Bel Iblis didn't rebel against ''Vader'', they rebelled against Palpatine and his tyrannical Empire that allowed people like Vader to exist. You're not making any ''sense''. How can there be a ''galaxy-wide civil war'' when the galactic government isn't ''fighting'' anyone? ''Please'', I beg of you, give me a better reason for stating the Galactic Civil War began at 19 BBY than "well, we couldn't call it 'Star Wars' if there wasn't a war between the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War, could we?" ''The Phantom Menace'' was called STAR WARS, wasn't it? There was no war in Episode I. There was no war at the beginning of Episode II. There is no war at the end of Episode III. If there was, as you claim, WHO WAS FIGHTING WHOM?
