    And I was just checking out the Wiki, and found this:

    Adi confronted General Grievous while directing her troops with Mace Windu on Boz Pity. Grievous quickly killed her, grabbing her throat with an extra arm and stabbing her in the chest. Adi's killing led to a confrontation between Grievous and Windu, during which Mace Windu used the Force to slam Grievous' bodyplates. One of them got stuck in his lungs, making him cough and hack for the remainder of his life. Grievous barely escaped.

    So much for the only "canon" event in Clone Wars Volume 2. [face_plain]

    >>"So much for the only "canon" event in Clone Wars Volume 2"<<

    What people don't understand is that Grievous ALREADY had the cough way back when, as early as DEEP FOREST. The cough is NOTHING to do with Mace or anyone slamming is bodyplates, it's because his body isn't responding well to the cyborgation. He's sick. The slamming of the plates merely aggravates this condition. The Grievous page reflects that, at least.

    "Deep Forest" is in "Visionaries".

    "Visionaries" is Infinities.

    Therefore, that doesn't count.

    The only thing I would question on the "Super Star Destroyer" page is the description of Allegiance. The vessel has many sister ships in DE, and it was only destroyed as quickly as it was because, as the comic itself notes, the shields were down.

    I also like the "out-of-universe" page about the size controversy.

    As long as no one messes with Executor's length and number of engines, you won't hear excessive complaining from me. [face_batting]

    Even so, the fact that it's put totally out of commission by a single salvo isn't exactly encouraging - and I left the numbers of sister-ships vague because it seemed clearer that way. I'm not quite sure how far we can push the idea through the Eclipse's escorts and the "Gauntlet Star Destroyers" of DEII, which are the standard Star Destroyers at Byss...

    But this is Wiki. Feel free to edit it?

    You did? :eek:

    I'm glad that it's all been moved to a separate page now, since that Super Star Destroyer page spent more time rambling about the size discrepancy than the actual in-universe ships. :eek:

    Reference: Battle of Endor (which I just rewatched). Star Wars capital ships are utterly dependent on shields. The ISD that comes off second best to a Star Cruiser is undamaged one second, gone the next. Therefore, the shields failed and the next salvo (5 or 6 heavy TL bolts) reduced the ship to dust. Also, as soon as a gap opens in Executor's bridge shields the A-wing hits it and it goes down. If not for the A-wing, Home One was already in position to take out the bridge tower, since there's notthing an A-wing can do that heavy TLs can't do better!

    Well, I might have written it differently, but the important thing is that it is in an out-of-universe page. You won't find me averse to "teaching the controversy"...unless it's "intelligent design" stupidity infecting our schools, that is!

    How about luanch Concussion missiles, manuever, and change direction half-way to the destination? That'd be some magic turbolaser that could accomplish all that.

    So what you're saying is that Lando's tactics worked, and the Homeboy basically pwned the Ex?

    :D "Closer!"

    That, my friends, is why impressing KDY customers and ranging the guns against defenceless shipyards are about the only things a Mandy-II is good for...

    Lando is in better control of his Id? :p

    I only followed about half of this post [face_thinking] but once the Executor's bridge shield went down it was in trouble.

    Between Palpatine's idiotic orders and Piett's lack of initiative, the ship that should have won the Imperials the battle went down.

    I guess you're trying to argue that Star Dreadnaughts are worthless. Well, taking a triple-Impstar collision into your forward shields, flying through an asteroid field with impunity, and enduring light planetary defense fire (not to mention having a reactor about the SIZE of an Impstar) are all features Kuat's customers should damn well be impressed by! Besides, at point blank range (a highly unusual range for space combat) a huge ship can bring fewer guns to bear.

    On a lighter note, I still srefuse to call them Star Dreadnaughts.

    And Tie Pilot, if theres no mention of Boss Nass in Galxies, then make an account and add one :D

    Executor was under the combined fire of the Rebel fleet. Home One was involved, a second Home one class was sitting right off of the stern of the Ex, a possible third Home One had been destroyed earlier, and more than a dozen smaller Star Cruisers were all in the fight.

    Ive now added full bibliographies for Randy Stradley, Jeremy Barlow, Jan Duursema, John Ostrander, Brandon Badeaux and Tomás Giorello, as well as stubbing the Jedi Quest and Last of the Jedi series'. We need a young reader section tbh.

    Well, I would, except I don't know what his involvement in Galaxies is. I know he's in the game, but not what he does.
