Think about it rationally. Would The Empire defeat the Covenant if a war was fought between the two?

I think that the Empire would win personally simply because it is much more massive

Whichever incompatible franchise has the most fans on these forums would win, as is always the case. Your mileage may vary on different forums. Please see back of pack for details. Your statutory rights may be used to beat you over the head.

How can the Empire be better than the Rebel Alliance? The Empire lost! Granted, they had the funner toys, but they still lost (and apparently, the stormtroopers couldn't hit anyone that had a name, with the exception of Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru).

They only lost because George Lucas is an idiot, who thinks that midgets in bear costumes wielding clubs can beat the most elite infantry in the galaxy...

Ewoks suck :mad::mad:

Actually, it looks like the ewoks had some pre-planned traps for the imperials. Remember, they took out a couple of walkers and some speeder bikes (also, just because they didn't show a lot of them in the final battle on Endor, don't forget that there was also a platoon of rebels there).

Halo is more in line with a nuke and death star is more like a tactical missile. If you compare in destructive power Halo wins...but everyone ends up dead soooo

A lot of people are probably not going to understand what I'm about to say but as a SF nerd I really hated Star Wars. It doesn't even qualify as SF, it's fantasy. It's just a bunch of wizards shooting lightning and having sword fights in space. They could be doing it underwater or in a volcano or at the North pole during a penguin invasion and it would still be fantasy. The stories were predictable and got boring fast and made very little sense, especially what went on outside of the movies because Beardo slapped the name of his horrible creation onto anything and everything and because of a loose canon policy (pardon the pun) his rabid fans run around the internet claiming every scrap of crap fan fiction ever produced is 100% true. Apperently they have forgotten what the words fan and fiction mean. They're mor annoying than trekkies and only half as smart.

Chewie is an eight foot tall Wookie from the planet Kashyyk but lived on the planet Endor with a bunch of two foot tall ewoks. Does that make any gorram sense to you?

And that was a stupid mistake on the Empire's part...If your going to put the Shield generator of your greatest weapon on some underdeveloped planet (or moon), cut down that damn vegetation and either relocate or kill those damned Ewoks...but back to the original debate...the Empire>Rebellion IMO because of Sheer firepower...

That would be Grand Admiral Thrawn, if I'm not mistaken. And also if I'm not mistaken, he was assasinated in a later Expanded Universe book by the Noghri (although there are rumors that at least one clone is floating around in the universe).

Except one is a movie series and the other a video game series, but that's not the point...both are crap. All the Star Wars films ever did was do a crappy redux on an old tale as well as show off how special effects can make up for everything else lacking in the movie(and how paying John Williams to make music for your movie can make it seem far better than it is.)

Halo is a generic FPS with generic controls, generic ideas, and a rather generic story, and is overall very boring.

After playing Deus Ex(the invisible one) I can safely say that it's combat was one of its worst qualities and the loading times ruined the tempo of the game. Halo is much better overall than that game.

Yeah, Invisible War is not in any way, shape, or form indicative of its predecessor. It is a rather crappy game--though at least it still had a decent story, unlike Halo.

Grunts don't have names... Stormtroopers would mow them down like blaster fodder. The stronger covenent units would provide some big difficulties but in the long term I say the Empire would managee to win the war though be worse for wear.

Jar-Jar created the Empire?

Jar Jar (who was sitting in for Amidala) was the one to suggest in the Galactic Senate that the Chancellor (Palpatine) get emergency powers to deal with the separatists and their army of droids. Then Palpatine ordered the use of a clone army, which had already been made by the Caminoans, and already programmed with Executive Order 66 (the order commanded all clone trooper units to immediately attack and kill the Jedi they had been working with).

Thus, Jar Jar was one of the pawns (and a major one at that) that was used to give Palpatine the massive amount of control he had over the galaxy.

Yep he is right.

And don't blame the storm troopers for there bad aim. There are several good explanation.

A. Every major character you see is min orly force sensitive and projects an aura around themselves preventing Lasers hitting (A la Darth Vader in the 5th one).

B. The Sights on the guns are off the the side.

C. The Lasers are redirected to fill in plot holes.
