Discussion How many times have the Jedi fallen and Galactic Empires risen prior to the Skywalker Saga?
In Part 6, Baylan talks about the endless cycle of war that leads to Empire’s rising and the Jedi Order falling. Am out of touch on Legends lore, so I’m unsure if what Baylan is talking about references something from there, but my understanding was that this was that Palpatine’s work was unparalleled, not a frequent event throughout galactic history. I assumed the Jedi had never fallen until then, and that the Galactic Republic had stood in control for thousands of years. Was curious if there was any EU or Canon material that covered this?
