Could Teddy Ruxpin take an Ewok?

Rupskin, not Ruxpin

Wow. How did they miss that typo? All these years the Teddy Rupskin people have been wrong.

Besides which, the SW blasters fire plasma, which we know the Borg can't defend against

The Borg can adapt to Disruptors, so why not Blasters? It's basically the same thing!

E-Webs and AT-ST's, anyone

You're forgetting Borg transporter technology. And judging from TESB, Imperial Walkers don't have much for shields (since Luke had no problem climbing up to one and opening it). And The Empire's infanfantry weaponry is a lot weaker than anything we've seen in ST, so the Borg would have a field day.

The weapons they use are lasers anyway.

Of course it was guerilla warfare - what did it look like to you?

An open battle-the imperials could see the bears-that should have been enough-besides, an entire legion was already there assembled.

In case you didn't, there was a space battle going on, so they couldn't exactly lower the Death Star shield.

Then F to the imperials for being stupid enough not to station airpower on the surface, like the rebels did in Hoth.

Why would they bother to set their blasters to full power, if a much lower setting is enough?

Becuase maybe then they would not have gotten their ass wipped by a bunch of stone age bears-see, that is the thing-the ewoks were stone age fighters- I am sorry, but any army that looses to a stone age force when it has supposedly elite forces concentrated in a small area is a pityfull force.


And as for Hoth-the empire gets another F for moronic vehicle design.

[Saint Marcus]

well, the Borg certain won't have much trouble defending against that!

In ground combat, Borg will kick Storm Trooper ass. No question. And Jem'hadar will kick Storm Trooper ass as well.

I guess you never read the SW Comic that show a Stormtrooper patrol out looking for a missing unit, and finding the patrol's heads on pikes.

The Ewoks are vicious little bastards. And they weren't even winning until Chewie took over said AT-ST and blew up other AT-STs and blasting the Imperial troops.

Go re-watch. There is a definate correlation bewteen the two.

Plus, let's not forget when Palpatine got whacked and, according to Grand Admiral Thrawn in Heir to the Empire it caused a massive detrimintal effect to the fighting quality of the Imperial Troops.

First of all, while the battle "turns" after Chewie takes the AT-ST. the bears take out 2 AT-ST's with logs, while Chewie takes out only one.

NOw, why does an Elite legion have only 4 or 5 At-ST's, specially if their armor is so pityfull that two logs thrown from each side can squash the armor like an aluminum can? Oh, and what happened with the AT-AT we see a few scene before? Imperial coordination must suck eggs if they could not bring it into battle.

Then take their piss poor tactics-oh my, attacked by stone age bears 3 feet tall they rush INTO the forest, as opposed to, I don't know, staying in the clearing and laying waste to the nearby forest with their firepower. Supposedly according to Kuchinich, blasters are as strong as phasers-well, phasers on full power owuld have had no problem laying waste to a fair cordon around the clearing, creating a nice safe kill zone and protecting the power generator.

[Saint Marcus]

In ST, as Riker said, one phaser can clear out an entire regiment of 19th century infantrymen. However, in SW, an entire legion can't beat Stone Age infantrymen. I bet even Wesley Crusher can beat The Empire!

[Apocalypse]

AT-ATs can't be that heavy or they'll sink. It's physics.

Disrupters fire some sort of energy beam. Blasters, as I mentioned in the post you responded to, fire plasma. The Borg clearly cannot shield against plasma, because a) plasma is a physical weapon and the Borg have no KE shielding and b) the Borg Queen in FC died of plasma exposure.

You're forgetting Borg transporter technology. And judging from TESB, Imperial Walkers don't have much for shields (since Luke had no problem climbing up to one and opening it).

The Borg have never used the transporter for combat - why would they start now? They're obviously too stupid.

And The Empire's infanfantry weaponry is a lot weaker than anything we've seen in ST, so the Borg would have a field day.

This is just plain false, and I've addressed it. Do you have to keep repeating the same idiocy over and over?

Don't the all so mighty imperials have alloy technologies capable of making light armor and not use aluminum sidding?

I am sorry, but if that is the case, what is the point of At-ST's? Cause I am sorry, tow logs with that kinetic energy pack less of a punch than a concentrated blast of energy form the likes of a blaster-unless blasters are pathetically weak.

They were all over the forest.

Obviously it wasn't, if there were reinforcements for the base to send out when Solo called.

Then F to the imperials for being stupid enough not to station airpower on the surface, like the rebels did in Hoth.

Why the hell would the Imperials expect a battle, especially one in which air support would be useful? They're in a jungle.

Becuase maybe then they would not have gotten their ass wipped by a bunch of stone age bears-see, that is the thing-the ewoks were stone age fighters- I am sorry, but any army that looses to a stone age force when it has supposedly elite forces concentrated in a small area is a pityfull force.

How would higher power settings have changed it?

And as for Hoth-the empire gets another F for moronic vehicle design.

Actually, no, according to the literature the legs actually make it able to traverse more varied terrain than wheeled or tracked vehicles. Plus, it's just a glorified APC.

Actual power statistics for a phaser would show this is ridiculously false (and I'd say actual observations of phasers hitting things trumps some boast from Riker).

How so? Hand phasers never seem to be that powerful...
