Field Promotion

Post by Dr EMH » Wed Dec 28, 2005 10:32 am

In SW4, Luke is only a back-up pilot. But in SW5, he become a Commander.

In SW4 & SW5, Solo is a smuggler/pirate, while Lando is a gambler & base administrator. But in SW6, both become General.

In SW2, the clone troopers have ranks from Sgt to Captain to Commander. But in SW3, Mace Windu & Obiwan become General.

In SW2.5 (animated series), the Chancellor ask Yoda & Obiwan to give Anakin the command of the fighters, and Anakin become a Commander.

I wonder ... does the Republic & Rebel Force offer field commissioned that easily? :roll:

Think it's pretty much like the past world wars whereby replacements are required often as leaders fall in battle...

Anyway, I guess some of the promotions and honorary titles are given in recognition of contributions... but you also need to have the right connections :lol:

Field or I will rather call this Battlefield Promotions. Whatever that occurs in the STAR WARS universe is reflective of what actual happens during a war where in order to urgently replace and provide the need leadership due to the depleted ranks of senior officers who were either killed or badly wounded in action.

The best examples that I know of were famous U.S. World War II generals who received temporary Battlefield Promotions when they were serving as Captains and Majors during WWI. They were promoted 2-3 grades to Lieutenant Colonels, Colonels and some even to Brigadier Generals.

Anakin was promoted from Commander to General of some 20K Clonetroopers during one of the campaign against the Separatist during the Clone Wars when General Nejaa Halcyon flag ship was put our of commission.

All Jedi masters leading Clonetroops are Generals right?

Generally, i think that's very confusing. In general, what's the focal point? :lol:

OK gentlemen from the information gathered in the issue of STAR WARS INSIDER with Commander Fox on the cover :

Jedi Masters hold the rank of General in the Grand Army of the Republic

Jedi Padawans could hold the rank of up to a Colonel as they are assigned a Regiment of Clonetroopers to command.

In SW5-6, Imperial Force fleet commander is called Admiral, even higher ranking than General.

Of course, the higher rank than Admiral is Moff or Grand Moff etc ...

I guess there are too many generals since clone wars liao, that's why need to create more new higher ranks. :wink: :lol:
