“Historians/Archeologists suck at naming things” is kind of an old joke, but when it comes to Star Wars it’s even worse. Much, much more worse. Things are certainly not helped by the fact that it’s always the same four groups fighting the same conflict over and over. But seriously, how much more terrible could writers possibly be at naming these wars?
- Great Hyperspace War: 5,000 BBY; Jedi and Republic vs. Sith
- Great Sith War: (also known as First Sith War) 3,996 BBY; Jedi and Republic vs. Sith and Mandalorians
- Mandalorian Wars: 3,964 BBY; Jedi and Republic vs. Mandalorians
- Jedi Civil War: (also known as Second Sith War) 3,958 BBY; Jedi vs. Sith
- Sith Civil War: 3,956 BBY; Jedi vs. Sith vs. Sith
- Great Galactic War: (also known as Republic-Sith War or Great War) 3,681 BBY; Jedi and Republic vs. Sith
- Cold War: 3,653 BBY; Jedi and Republic vs. Sith
- Galactic War: 3,642 BBY; Jedi and Republic vs. Sith and Mandalorians
- New Sith War: (also known as Jedi-Sith War) 2,000 BBY; Jedi and Republic and Mandalorians vs. Sith
- Mandalorian Civil War: 60 BBY; Mandalorians vs. Mandalorians
- Clone Wars: (could be called Galactic Civil War) 22 BBY; Jedi and Republic vs. Sith and Republic
- First Galactic Civil War: 2 BBY; Jedi and Republic vs. Sith/Empire
- First Imperial Civil War: 4 ABY; Empire vs. Empire
- Yuuzhan Vong War: (also known as Great War) 25 ABY; Jedi and Republic and Empire and Mandalorians vs. Yuuzhan Vong
- Second Galactic Civil War: (also known as New Galactic Civil War) 41 ABY; Jedi and Republic vs. Sith
- Sith-Imperial War: 127 ABY; Sith vs. Empire
- Second Imperial Civil War: 130 ABY; Sith vs. Empire vs. Jedi and Republic
Seriously! The fuck?!
Well, I guess that means we should get ready for the New Mandalorian War, the Jedi-Empire War, and the Great Republic War.
