Star Wars is full of wars!
I would never know!

[commandodanny]

Definitly needed this refresher course. With all the lore about star wars wether it be legends or canon it's hard to remember certain stuff. I knew about all this but just forgot certain details. Thanks Alex.

Every legends grand master jedi
Every legends superweapon
Every legends emperor

Damn this galaxy just cant catch a break

I'm pretty sure the Beast Wars was a conflict between the Maximals and Predacons, but don't quote me on that...

[matthewjefferson]

I miss the legends universe it's just so fleshed out

[ltb]

Wow, so awesome. This is all canon in my headcanon!

[williamhardway]

How about a comprehensive list of every species known to have been driven to extinction via war, plague, catastrophic accident or whatnot? Just a thought. Might go well with the list of wars.

Legends has such a rich history. A shame it’s not cannon anymore

Darth Caedus led the Galactic Alliance and Imperial Remnant, NOT the Confederation. The Confederation was led by the Corellian president or a council of member world leaders, depending on when during the war you are talking about.

You misplaced the Rakatan Civil War and the Force Wars. It was actually the opposite in sequence. Other than that I think that you should've renamed this as "Every Galactic War in Star Wars Legends" as that is really what you're covering. There were other wars and conflicts that occurred in the galaxy after the New Sith Wars but they were ones that didn't have the full support of the Republic or didn't became full scale wars. Such examples include the Hukk War where General Grievous grew his reputation as a fearsome military commander and his hatred for the Jedi began; the Mandalorian Civil War that was between different Mandalorian factions that was ended by Jedi intervention; and the Stark Hyperspace War where a group of pirates and smugglers in the Outer Rim wanted to put pressure on the Republic for their lack of trade with its aftermath setting the stage for the Naboo Crisis.

I’m curious about some of the smaller conflicts not included on this list, since it seems that this list focused on galaxy-spanning conflicts. I know it would be a lot to ask to list all of them, but I’d definitely like to see some videos on a notable few, like the Mandalorian Civil War, the (First) Imperial Civil War - since you mentioned the second - etc. Although they’re not as big, I do find their events and characters interesting

So of the 11 Wars the Sith have fought they’ve only won once

[BEW]

Great video! Only error I found was during he Second Galactic Civil War. Darth Caedus didn’t lead the Confederation. He actually help overthrow the Galactic Alliance President, and instil himself and an alliance Admiral as leaders of the Alliance. Luke and the Jedi split from the Alliance after learning of Jacen Solo’s turn to the dark side and formed a third faction.

Honestly, I've always had trouble following some of these wars. I never understood some how started and then ended. I felt it was always a tangled mess sometimes. Major kudos for you making this. I can't wait for the canon version!

[blackshogun]

My favorite era/war will always be "The Old Sith Wars". It encompasses so much of Star Wars history and lore it could be it's own multi-trilogy movie block.

[TheValiant]

Great Video! Liked and favorited!
Considering all of he real wars on planet earth in the last 6000 years, it’s no wonder there are so many in hundreds of thousands of years between trillions of sentient beings. I really want more old republic content, it’s my favorite era. The long, drawn out wars between Sith and Jedi, Empire and Republic, Dark and Light, it’s all good!

[Giggletardis]

Love it! Would you consider adding approximate dates (on screen) to the canon version?

This Galaxy has been plagued with so much wars. It is this reason why mercenaries are always in demand and are never out of business.
