.@starwars has the loosest military rank system. Anyone can walk into an army and automatically become a general. Take Lando...

Lando Calrissian is a known smuggler, con artist who betrayed Han and Leia to the Empire. Then he joins the Rebels, they make him a general.

Like, right away. Lando walks right in with no credentials and the Rebellion automatically promotes him to general. General Calrissian!

Han Solo, ranked Captain, gets unfrozen from Carbonite, and automatically gets promoted to general. General Solo, just like that.

Jar Jar Binks, a Gungan even the Gungans hate, is conscripted to the Gungan Grand Army and is immediately made Bombad General. It's absurd.

General Jar Jar Binks! A week prior they sent him and the Jedi through the planet core hoping a giant mackerel would eat them. Now, general.

However, Lando did earn his generalship after the fact. Everyone forgets it was Lando who blew up the second Death Star.

That's right, that second time it wasn't the blonde white kid who killed the Death Star, it was the black guy. And that thing alongside him.

Luke Skywalker blew up a Death Star and all he got was a Commander rank. He joined before general ranks were handed out as door prizes.
