Miscellaneous Star Wars Thread

So how does the Starkiller Base compare to the other super weapons that are in legend.

To bring up a question I’ve been pondering for a little while now, I wonder what’d happen if the CIS fleet assembled for the Battle of Coruscant—right upon exiting hyperspace in anticipation of reaching the Republic capital—were to instead wind up above Yavin and encounter the nearby Death Star. Unsurprisingly, a huge battle would likely ensue, but who’d emerge the victor of this cross-time confrontation?

At first, I thought the ISOTed Separatist forces would win this one by swamping the Death Star in sheer numbers; if an X-Wing squadron could take the station and its defenses on, why not a Clone Wars-era invasion force with at least thousands of capital ships and far, far more fighters and standard battle droids? But then I remembered that they wouldn’t know of the fatal weakness posed by the thermal exhaust port, and that the Imperials present could call for reinforcements. Maybe ASB could at least take the latter factor out of the equation so that the inevitable fighting isn’t too short?

Now, if that same CIS fleet were to confront the Death Star II above Endor—where a large force of Imperial capital ships and starfighters are awaiting the (now uninvolved) Rebel Alliance—that’d be a different story.

Not exactly. The idea is that only the CIS fleet at the Battle of Coruscant gets sent forward in time, without people or assets from Republic or any other faction coming along for the ride. That said, what you're thinking of could make an interesting discussion in of itself.

Also, though there was a bit about it in the AH.com version of this thread, I wonder how IP legislation--if it exists at all--must work in the Star Wars universe. I imagine that having the federal government enforce it on a galactic scale is quite difficult to say the least, so maybe that's left to local courts to sort out. Further, I imagine that the Commerce Guilds would've had the size-granted influence and droid armies to ensure that other players didn't infringe on whatever IP they had (and may have even...appropriated such from smaller competitors, to boot). If the likes of the Banking Clan broke out Hailfire Droids on loan-defaulting borrowers, chances are they'd adopt similar measures to resolve IP-centric disputes too.

I’m unsure that I understand the problem. But since those are your wishes, never mind IP then.

But going back to the divergent Battle of Yavin, I wonder how Anakin, Obi-Wan, Chancellor Palpatine would fare once they become aware that a battle with an unknown foe is happening right outside. Count Dooku and General Grievous may be too preoccupied with the fighting to pay much mind to the ISOTed-along Republic trio figuring out how to escape the Invisible Hand.

Pretty cool, if brief tribute, lordroel. I tend to like what I've seen of DuduFilm's content so far, and this isn't an exception. That said, we'd almost surely have a far less positive opinion of the Sith Empire if we civil liberties-accustomed earthlings were forced to live under its regime.

Anyways, here's another one featuring a more recent time period in the Star Wars universe, and a much different Empire to boot.

Agreed. I've seen a fair share of complements in the comment sections on his various videos, not to mention a consistently much higher like-to-dislike ratio.
