[QUOTE]Originally posted by newark: [QB] As shown in the PM, individual planets and organizations had their versions of a standing military. While the Jedi investigated the training of their new charges, couldn't these entities been encouraged to combine their forces and confront the threat? And, if the Separatists can field such a large army without the approval of the Senate, what was preventing the worlds of the Republic from doing the same? It seems before the introduction of the clone military that the Republic was devoid of any military. I don't buy it. The Republic is an intergalactic political entity. It has vast stores of wealth and the life styles of the richest worlds is oppulent by the best standards. And wouldn't there exist a situation akin to what happened between the Roman empire and the Goths where the latter desired a share of this empire? So, to protect the riches of the Republic, wouldn't there need to be a standing army as occured in ancient Rome? The Jedi would be incapable of fighting a large army. Though they have Force-sensitive powers, these powers are limited and are largely ineffective against even a platoon of troops as seen in the third episode. If the Jedi were the sole protectors, the Republic wouldn't have lasted a 1000 years. (I know the second film mentioned the last war occured this many years ago. Yet, even on our world, in a thousand years of history, we have had many wars, small and large. In our country alone, in this last century, we have had six wars.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
