Commander- Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I have noticed something, I probably ain't the only one: Look at the flag of the Sith Empire in SWTOR. http://images.wikia.com/tridentrpg/images/5/53/FlagSithEmpire.png Then look at the flag of the Galactic Empire and the Galactic Republic in the movies. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Flag_of_the_Galactic_Republic_(late)_and_the_Galactic_Empire_(early).svg/220px-Flag_of_the_Galactic_Republic_(late)_and_the_Galactic_Empire_(early).svg.png See how they are almost indentical, why would the Republic use a flag that looks almost the same as their old enemies?

dazednconfuzed Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Because... The Empire wins this war, becomes the Republic, and the Jedi, all outcast, wallow in self pity and corrupt themselves into becoming Sith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeC Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Because the Devs want stuff to look like star wars. look at the old republic symbol in game and it looks an awful lot like the rebel alliance symbol. Edited May 16, 2012 by LeeC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander- Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 If I'm not mistaking the was the jedi symbol in an old lego star wars game. Which reminds me that the Republic looks a bit like a theocracy when the jedi has so much influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeC Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I know of the jedi symbol your thinking of but if you think about it that too looks alot like the original rebel symbol you first see on the helmets of the xwing and y wing pilots in ANH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander- Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Welcome to a few years ago... Yeah, I noticed it when I saw a gameplay of the SWOTR shortly after its release but I didn't visit the forum so I didn't knew if anyone already had taken it up.

Rhudian Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Reference: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bendu Basically, it's a symbol for unification. Not sure if the number of spokes symbolizes anything in particular, but let's pretend two of them stand for "peace" and "love", which would explain why the Sithier ones have six spokes instead of eight.
