I have a bad feeling about this...

Seriously how much action will they be able to do without making the thousand years of peace a lie? What will the story be a shadow war between the Jedi and whatever the **** the Nihil are? I hope we at least get a few starfighter and fleet engagements but I'm not holding my breath. And even if wee do the new ships will probably end up being crap that makes the TLJ Resistance capital ships look well armed in comparison. And most of those ships were complete and utter jokes compared to PT and OT ships. The only ships that weren't badly outgunned compared to OT ships with the same role were the medical frigate, and maybe the bombardment corvette.

Perhaps peace within the Republic worlds (aka the core worlds) does not mean peace in the Outer Rim or in the Unexplored Regions?

even more damming. I am Dyslexic and on most things I try to use other words if its one I cant spell right but with names I try my best

its true I might have goggled it but most of the time I feel like it was close so others knew what I was saying

so yes I am not a fan of the new moves but I am not trying to mock the movies

PS fun fact I once had a PC crash on spell check back in high school

Fair answer. Which is why I asked.

I don't really see this as a big deal.

The quote says "For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire."

He never said: "We had peace for over 1000 years."

For me, the quote allows for major conflicts and even wars but the Jedi were always there to restore the peace in the end and they continued guarding the Republic. The Empire then ended their jobs as guardians and brought the end of the Jedi Order. That's all he really says.

It's like in a Cop Movie when someone says "My family has protected this city on the Police Force for 5 generations ..." That doesn't mean there were no major crimes during that time....

So the quote still holds, at least from my (a certain) point of view...

I agree. It just means when a war or conflict cropped up, the Jedi Knights won. It doesn't mean there were never any threats.

Yeah but the whole Galactic Republic having no centralized military for a thousand years only makes sense, what little sense the idea makes at least, if there are no widespread conflicts. Once a conflict spreads beyond the sector or neighboring sector level there needs to be a central military command coordinating the war effort and a military force controlled by that command. Pulling local defense forces from one area to send them to a distant region is not likely to go over well with worlds the forces are drawn from to put it mildly.
