Re: Proof that star wars beats star trek.
lol...
The Empire, is really only a name, the Republic which is what the Empire was made from held it for way longer than that, it was only called the Empire once they created an army because they needed one and Palpatine got all evil and such.
The Empire was a complete reconstitution of the government and territory, and its system, leaders and military only held onto the galaxy for 20 years.
Ok so let me get this straight, you are saying that if the empire were attacking the Milky Way in ST every race would ally, but theres no way that the Rebels would ally with the Empire? That makes no sense, moot point.
No, but the big three, or at least two of the big three would ally, and other groups would battle the empire independently as the empire's greed for expansion would surely spread to them. The rebellion of Star Wars would definatly not ally with the empire if thats what you reference to, and most of the nations of the ST universe would not ally as they would fear becoming vassals of the empire or its next target.
I haven't overlooked anything, the fact is that Star Wars jsut has way more weapons on it's side.
And ST has many weapons on its side that could equal that in its EU. In my opinion, these debate should remain to what was seen on screen.
WArlords much later, but it doesn't matter what they were called, what matters is that they were still extremely powerful. I think yo uare drawing way to far away from the original debate here... back on topic please?
But that isn't the Palpatine Empire we have all grown to love. And how am I moving from the debate, I'm simply arguing ST vs. SW in all its facets.
You need a specific time period to keep this organized, otherwise we can pull things from years apart. The Galactic Empire was apart of one frame, then you have the reconstitution under the Palpatine clone, remnant, warlords and all that stuff in their own seperate time frames.
The lack of organization to this debate and many other scifi series vs. scifi series debates is why I think that whatever we argue is inevitably moot.
