New Star Wars Movie

I thought it was all the same thing ??

Them's fightin' words!

[Nikolai]

Don't explain the joke.

I'm not. There is no joke.

Typical ben.
When he does something stupid, he later claims it's a troll or a joke. (which he has to do often since he says so many stupid things)
Sometimes it's just easier to say you made a mistake.

Here's Mark Hamill with a Jedi beard.



Did you know that he's older now than Alec Guinness was for ep4?

[Lorizael]

Let's just hope he's better with a lightsaber than Alec was.

[Nikolai]

That look is perfect.

Uh, This isn't exactly a *serious* thread.

Which would you prefer to see?

You being arrested in North Korea.

[Dr Strangelove]

A fleet of Federation Star Ships is mysteriously transported into the Star Wars universe and is forced to fight the Imperial and Rebel fleets. As the Federation fleet begins ripping through the Star Wars fleets Scottie exclaims: "Cap'n, their shields are completely useless against phasors and they're unable to carry out battle manuevers with warp drive!" McCoy sternly remarks: "Jim, we shouldn't be doing this, it's like fighting children!" Spook calmly adds: "For once I'm in agreement with the doctor. Even though they're a space faring civilization their technology is so retrded it's almost like violating the Prime Directive. We don't need to fight them, we should concentrate on getting home." Kirk responds: "Gentlemen you're objections are duly noted, but this war is more than a struggle to get home, it's about making the universe safe for science fiction. Mr. Sulu, plot another sweep around their flanks. Mr. Chekov, make all weapons ready."

in star trek, romulan mining ships can destroy a planet


(also, I never noticed his ear was messed up)





in star wars, destroying a planet requires a superweapon that takes like 20 years to build


star trek is a little better at covering exhaust ports leading to the main reactor


also, technology in star wars seems to have stagnated for thousands of years

however, their FTL travel is faster... they can get to the "other side of the galaxy" in the time it takes to hire a bounty hunter

in star trek it takes like 75 years, if you are unlucky enough to not have a fancy plot device (transwarp, wormholes)

In Star Wars, these are among the most powerful creatures:

-an old green midget
-Liam Neeson (without the motivation of finding his daughter)
-a whiny psychopath and his kids
-a hyper-ambitious politician, seemingly super powerful, yet forced to run a 20 year long con in order to seize power
-Samuel L. Jackson (who never once says MOTHERFUCKER)




In Star Trek, this guy can blink them out of existence.



but despite his power, he seems oddly obsessed with the captain of the flagship of the federation
not that I blame him
but still

considering how powerful Q is... it's like one of us getting obsessed with some ant general

Let's talk troops.

borg drones vs clones/droids

This is a tough one. I'm tempted to say draw. Let's compare and find out.

With drones, you've got slow, lumbering oafs who lack any kind of initiative. They'd let intruders plant bombs all over the inside of their ship just as long as nobody opens fire on them. The Borg can adapt to weapons fire and can use personal shields. However, they are extremely vulnerable to primitive projectile weapons and melee attacks.




Drones seem better than droids. Droids require a command ship... destroy the ship and they're junk. They've also had trouble defeating sea rabbits whose most powerful weapon is a bouncy blue ball.

Clones are an upgrade over droids. These storm troopers have terrible aim. You'd think the Camino cloners would upgrade the aim a bit. I don't know if that's a flaw in the process or just bad clone design. Also, clones can be given secret orders to betray their chain of command... so I wouldn't trust them.

I'm going to say Borg are better just because of her:



but regardless, a few drunker 'Muricans with lots of ammo could pretty much hold off an invasion of drones

[Sava]

One thing about elite warriors that I forgot:
Even though the Star Trek universe has more powerful creatures, the "elite warriors" are pretty bad.

I saw Blue Ruin the other day, and for some reason the main guy reminded me of BK.
