[QUOTE]Originally posted by Griffworks: [QB] It's entirely possible that there was some sort of military in place for the Republic during all three prequels, but it had been outgrown by the number of worlds joining in the Republic. It's been stated in a number of works - tho I don't recall a specific canon mention - that the Republic at the time of Plapatines rise to power was a thick, bloated thing. Remember in TPM how it was mentioned that it would take a great deal of time to convince the Senate to build an army to go deal w/the Trade Federations attack on Naboo? I think that's a perfect example of how much the bureacracy had become weighed down in it's own red tape. Combine this w/the "no wars for a thousand years" thinking, "the Jedi are the protectors of the Republic" and you have a military that's likely not much more than a police force and in much need of reworking to be a true military power for a thousand worlds. So, any official Republic military would have been little good in dealing w/the Separatists, most likely. On the issue of the Jedi being the "sole protectors of the Repulic": Supposedly, at one point there were literally thousands of Jedi. The primary role of the Jedi was to stop things before they escalated in to open warfare. Things had slowly deteriorated w/the Jedi over the last several hundred years, for whatever reason, I guess, and their numbers started to dwindle a bit? Maybe Sidious had been working on slowly eradicating them for longer than just these prequels. It's entirely possible he engineered a number of situations wherein Jedi were sent to investigate, but were killed and reports of it being an accident were sent out to the Jedi Council. Recruits such as Maul & Dooku might have had a hand in some of those deaths, as well. Just some thoughts on the issue.... [/QB][/QUOTE]
