It feels like there aren't enough battles in the Galactic Civil War
I've been rewatching The Clone Wars and I'm realizing that one of the reasons I like this era, and even the build-up to A New Hope, is the scale of the conflict feels genuinely galactic.
The Clone Wars *feels* like a war raged across a galaxy, with multiple fronts and proxy wars, like on Mandalore.
For stories set between the Clone Wars and Rogue One/ANH we get a view of scattered resistance movements and a few notable battles.
But then, and this is primarily a canon complaint, it feels like that tapers off dramatically.
Maybe it's a criticism primarily aimed at the comics, but other than Mako-Ta and Hoth, it feels like there isn't really much by the way of notable battles until Endor.
The obvious Doylist explanation here would be that there's just less material in that time period. And of the material that is covered in that era, it's more built around scrappy adventures of the main trio rather than following soldiers across a broader war.
And I can somewhat buy the Watsonian explanation that it's a smaller-scale insurgency and not a galaxy-wide war between superpowers, but that doesn't seem to fit with the idea that the Empire would collapse after Endor and Jakku if the GCW is limited to roughly six or seven battles.
Do you feel like the GCW is smaller in scale than the Clone Wars? If so, do you prefer it that way? Does the old canon (between Yavin and Endor) feel different?
