Star Wars vs US

Ever think about it? Believe it or not, I think we'd stand a resonable chance in an atmospheric or ground battle, if there was no jedi there. I mean, an F-14 can fire a Phoenix missile from nearly 100 miles away at an X-wing or something, it has sheilds, but itcould do damage. A sniper could take out troops from a few miles away, and ICBMs (InterContinental Ballistic Missile) and nuclear missiles, nulear bombs, and hydrogen bombs could do considerable damage. All the long range missiles we have could take out SW people before they could even see us.

 

Watch Independence Day. The starfighters are faster, more powerful, shielded, etc. etc. etc.

 

1. DO you mean us, or U.S.?
2. Proton torpedos are nuclear weapons.

 

Are you joking???

The best a sniper-rifle could do would be a distance of perhaps two miles and then only if it hits the weak parts of the stromtrooperarmour.

Missiles would be taken out by aircover or useless, because the AT-ATs would be to close for the own safety of the defenders.

Not to forget the possibility of an orbital bombardement.

 

if we are talking ANH time, the US wouldn't even be the US, and Columbus wouldn't have got there yet. Somehow, I think SW would win

Before or after the orbital bombardment? Lacking planetary shields, this is how it would start. And once they have hammered all of the military installations and missile silos into slag, then they'd start landing their troops. This of course comes after their spies have infiltrated out networks, learned to understand the limits of our technology, and put their agents in a position to hamstring us when they're reading to start invading.

Unlikely given the explosive power of a proton torpedo, and that an X-wings shields are designed to withstand that force, a Phoenix would probably do very little.

As good as an F-14 or an F-22 may be, they would be no match for the Howlrunners, E-wings, A-wings, etc. we'd be facing.

A sniper could take out troops from a few miles away,

They will have snipers also. And artillery and mines and thermal detonators. Plus, their advanced medical technology means that soldiers will be back into the field faster. They also have body armor, assault droids, tanks, etc.

and ICBMs (InterContinental Ballistic Missile) and nuclear missiles, nulear bombs, and hydrogen bombs could do considerable damage.

Meaningless. Since nukes are hazardous to both sides, and with their ships in orbit will be shooting them down as fast as they are launched. And if we want to utilize a scorched earth policy with nukes, I'm sure they'd be happy to oblige us.

All the long range missiles we have could take out SW people before they could even see us.

Missiles are usually anti-vehicle/structure/city devices. They have mobile capital ships with shields and energy weapons that have ranges measured in tens of thousands of kilometers.

Watch Independence Day. The starfighters are faster, more powerful, shielded, etc. etc. etc.

Exactly, and I bet their shields won't be taken down by a silly virus. Ugh, that was dumb.

 

Sorry for the double post,


Reaper,

...and Columbus wouldn't have got there yet.

Got where? Columbus never discovered America.

 

Dude, you're fansisizing way too much. Think about it as in Starfighters of Adumar, their ships were: unshielded, slower, less agile, and their missiles didn't do anything.

And yes, are we talking before or after the orbital bombardment?

 

Yeah, the Asians and then the Vikings got there WAAAYYYYY before Columbus did.

 

I know that, but I was emphasising that they haven't even got to the Last of the Mohicans time yet

 

Columbus never got there at all. He was busy slaughtering a race of indiginous natives known as the Arowaks in the Carribean, the same way that fellow scum like Pizarro and Cortez did with the Incans and the Aztecs.

EDIT:

RF: Oh, Okay

 

I'm sure Mel Gibson could organize a counterstrike led by Kurt Russell, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis and utterly annihilate any invading forces.

 

True.

 

come to think of it, I doubt the Vikings would have got there yet either

 

It's Vjikings!

 

What about the Native Americans? They're kinda like the Yuuzhan Vong probably were.

Why does the US think they can solve everything by killing ppl?(or more specificaly, Bush)

 

Well im from canada so , the first thing i would do would get on the goodside of the invaders so they will leave us canadians alone, hahhaha its fun being a peace keeper

 

Well there is truth in this. A f-14, f-18, and f-15 are definetly better equipt weapon wise then ties. However like we pointed out they have
1.Better sensors and Manuverbility
2.Long Range Planatary Assult Weapons

Yet consider the following,

The US could invite say the Empire and surrender the planet to Imperial rule. In truth we may be able to catch say up to a Carrack of gard and destroy it with ICBMs. Our Ground forces could eaisaly take on the Empire. Plus, the Empire's scout forces(such as those used in the UR) are small with less fighters and not as heavy Turbolasers. In realaity the US could do one of 2 thing.
1. Pretend to engage in peace then wipe remanding forces out.
2. Accept heaveir long term Imperial rule and then stage a uprising.

I think about this alot in truth.

 

Depends,
I think the US would have a problem if the big bad ball would come rolling but not if some ewoks just would begin to throw stones at the american army. After all unlike the imperials they have Napalm.

 

Hey Brandon, I'm from Canada too. Maybe if we sent the invaders some cards and flowers...with hockey sticks in the bouquet, of course... ;D

 

If an ewok can kill a stormtrooper with a frgiggen rock, than I think a 12 gauge shot gun would do something to his armor.

 

We never saw the Stromtrooper getting killed (although knocked out from the battle) and one of the YJK-novels describes Stormtrooperarmour NOT getting pierced by a spear thrown by a droid, although the kinetic energy was enough to sent the trooper flying through the hall.

I also would like to advise some people to take a look at the following site:

I do not accept the Battle of Endor as being canon.

 

It wasn't the rock that killed the trooper, it was the vine to which the rock was attached, which twisted tightly around his neck, that strangled him.

 

Interesting site i must say...i shall spend tonight reading it...heh...heh...heh...caffINEE!!!...sorry...been watching Zim...anywhoo...

i have a counter site...while you used logic and facts...i have World Wide Web Fights: John McClain v. The Death Star...the empire wouldn't stand a chance...
