This is just a short description of my headcanon retcons from the Star Wars franchise, and in the same vein as most of my other blog posts. this is just to change it so that things make more sense. At the moment I only focus on events from the prequel trilogy, my headcanon retcons do not go into too much detail and are outlined in the notes section below.

I don't have a comprehensive knowledge of Star Wars lore. so there may be some caveats I am not aware of that might conflict with my headcanon retcons, though if made aware of them I could probably just work around these, if not just retcon them if they don't make much sense.

It goes without saying that the recent Disney fanfiction is not actually Star Wars, so there is not need for me to include it here.

Key :
 * GR = Galactic Republic
 * CW = Clone Wars

Notes :
 * Producing clone soldiers is more grotesque and inhumane than simply producing battle droids.
 * The GR has a great many planets from which they could levy soldiers from, the great variety of species available would also vastly increase the versatility of troop formations etc.
 * Mandalore would also play an instrumental role in this, particularly when Darth Sidious would orchestrate the GR military to turn against the Jedi Order.
 * I don't know if there is any caveat to this that would prevent the GR from creating a military from the peoples of its member planets.
 * The GR could also quite easily produce their own battle droids to supplement their main forces with.
 * Since there would be no indoctrinated/implanted clone soldiers, the 'Order 66' plot element would have to be much more elaborate, Darth Sidious would have had to convincingly frame the entire Jedi order, and use a carefully planned, galactic scale mass media propaganda campaign and other means, to help turn not only the but also the peoples of all member planets against the Jedi.
 * Darth Sidious would also have to carefully coordinate early strikes (immediatley before the propaganda campaign) against high concentrations of Jedi to make this more effective (mainly high explosives or bombardment), such as when the Jedi masters gather at their temple etc.
 * Due to this there would not be as much immediate need for or reliance on the actual GR military to suddenly turn on their Jedi generals as shown at the end of the CW saga, any remaining Jedi would quickly find out what is going on and then simply go into long-term hiding.
