What does the monitor have to do with SWBFFiles?
Try viewing the site without one. 
I meant the quantity of them. We need at least one monitor to play or whatever we use the computer for...
Google AMD Eyefinity.
I Like To Play With Three Monitors. It Gives Me A More Emersive Experience.
if I play a game, I wanna concentrate on what is going on there, so I only need one.
And btw, Widescreen ftw

Clone wars, Clone wars, Clone wars, Clone wars. Everything is clone wars, now. What happened to Galactic Civil War? The times of pure bad***ness? ... nevermind. I vote civil.
Same, Galactic Civil War. You can't beat the time of the Super Star Destroyer's.
just to be different im going with new republic
republic class SD ftw and it has classic imp SD in it too
so all aroung great
WHOA..........................Clone Wars, guys? Really?!?!?! I concur with Median...I mean yeah the Galactic Civil War era is, like, the best. And, well, that era's Star Destroyers are the best. Old Republic Star Destroyers are pretty cool, too, though. Honestly, I can't say much about the Legacy era Star Destroyers, as I don't really know what those Star Destroyers look like at all. By the way I voted for Galactic Civil War era Star Destroyers, as they rock and are total classics.
Imperials FTW. The republic is tight and all, but I perfer GCW era.
apparently we've intimidated the children from arguing about TCW/GCW
everybody said civil war, but the clone wars is winning.
civil war- SSD, SD, victory star destroyer, victory-2 class frigate, acclamators.
clone wars/old republic- venator, acclamator.
legacy- eclipse, new republic SD.
in my opinion, the civil war is better.
Oh my, this is a tough decision . . . I think the Interdictor-class (Leviathan) of ship from the Old Republic era was particularly epic looking, but Super Star Destroyers (including Eclipse) provide a worthy match-up . . .
. . . the Leviathan wins. +1 for Old Republic era.
Clone Wars? Really? More children I bet. Still stuck up with their pathetic Clone Wars TV shows. You know, I have two daughters, and they have never mentioned the SLIGHTEST interest in the Clone Wars TV shows. They are just old enough to understand what the characters talk about, but they don't care. Now back on topic: Whatever has the Allegiance and the Titan. No doubts about it. You can not beat the Allegiance and the Titan. Or the Eclipse and Sovereign and Vengeance. Everything I just mentioned. They win. End of discussion.
Very hard one. I like every kind of Stardestroyer. But in my opinion the destroyers while the time of the clone wars look the best (for example : Venator!!! :thumbsup
But the civil-war-destroyers are also very impressive.
1 : The Design
2 : The size
3 : The firepower
I can't say much about about Old / New Republic, because I don't know these two eras very well (shame on me  ).
My vote is : .....Clone wars.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsHNigj-mN0
@marvel4: win
Dude, one of the many reasons as to why I side with the Empire.
i like the clone wars SD's, but i like the galactic civil war better.
I agree with everyone that its ridiculous clone wars is winning. Just because clone wars is "the thing" with all the star wars fans it seems like. I always thought galactic civil war was cooler, it was just grittier and felt more like a space adventure.
*sigh* The Old Republic era isn't getting the love it deserves . . .
yeah, number ten, that's cool. we should recruit a username for everyone we know and vote on civil war.
Reoublic destroyer yeaaaaa!!!
How is clone wars winning?
Empires Star Destroyers for the win!
If you've only watched/read the clone wars, please get out of here before I call an orbital bombardment from a Super Star Destroyer.
I have never seen those dumb cartoons and I think the Republic ships are cool.
Why do all you GCW guys freak out because of the clonewars? I like the clonewars more than GCW and that´s not because of the cartoon! The republic is just more stylish in my opinion and their Capitalships look much cooler that the impereal ones. Even the ones of the CIS look good. But in my opinion those mon-calamari ships are as ugly as the butt of a Wampa!
I vote for clone wars. And nobody can blame me for that! It´s my opinion!
First off, learn how to spell Imperial. Second, Mon Calamari Cruisers and CIS ships have nothing to do with this conversation, so leave them out, third, you're obviously young. You don't like a combat unit because of the way it looks. You like it because of the way it works, how it holds up in battle. Yes, the Republic is more stylish, but when it comes right down to it, here are the facts: 1, the Empire has more advanced technology. 2, the Empire is smarter. 3, the Empire, and all other associated factions were run way better than the Republic. End of discussion.
The Eclipse
Perhaps because when they brought out "Star Wars: A new Hope", it was in... what? 70s? 80s? My point is, the special effects weren't so advance as it is now. And now, with all the awsomeness of Special Effects, George Lucas made the Republic look mind-blowing with new tecnology with "Revenge of the Sith". There's your style. Now, concider this. Would you still be liking the CW just because of what they are? Or because of the epicness if "The Phantom menace" Would've been done in the time of "A new Hope"?
Indeed Median, indeed.
Sooner or later I'm gunna have to make an Empire vs. Republic map the settle this score once and for all! Da Empire FTW!!!!
Besides that, simplicity and blandness is also stylish in its own right. Imperial ships may have drab grey coloring, but this also serves to show they are focused on something more important then "looking good" like the Republic cares about.
CRUSH THE REPUBLIC SCUM!!!
Ty, the campaign in BFII had empire vs. clones. so there. and i see where the clone trooper fan is coming from, all the kids think that the prequel trilogy has newer tech. well, if you pay attention to the chronology, you will see that the empire obviously had newer technology. they came in later.
I didn´t mean that the republic is better. But I just like them more! The questions wasn´t: "What do you think is better?" The question was: "What do you like most?". And I just like the clonewars more. And I like their capital ships more. I did never say that they´re better than the impereal ones.
@ 21:
Well you blame me for spelling wrong a word in a language that isn´t my homelanguage. As you can see I´m a german. And I´m very young. I´m very good at egnlish for my age. And now: Would you be able to spell everything perfect in german? I don´t think so! But I wouldn´t blame you for that!
If you really wanna now I´m just 16. So really young! And? I´m old enough for this game and so old enough for this side. And I usually don´t write anything without thinking of it before. (USUALLY... not always >.<
And I just want to say: I wrote my opinion! If it´s not your opinion: Good for you! I mean everyone has the right to have and tell about his own opinion. At least in Europe, but I don´t think it´s different in America.
IT´S my opinion! I respect your opinions and you respect mine. That´s how it works. If you don´t respect mine: Your problem.
Sorry if it sounds a bit hard but I hate it if someone blames someone just for his opinion.
Your opinion. I respect it. What I do not stand is the fact that clone lovers such as you (don't take this pesonally, for I have no intention to offend) is that since Episodes 1-3 came out with State-Of-The-Art Special Effects and green screen stuff, it makes them look way more epic and mind-blowing than the Special effects of Episodes 4-6. This make the Novice fans (clone lovers) love the CW movies and dislike the classic movies, especialy with the despicable series running (WTF!? Ahsoka goes to the Dark Side, then gets killed, but was resurected!? By a SITH!? Just stay dead, goddamit!). My point is that people don't appresiate the classics because they are "old-school" in a way to put it, therefore, have no interests in seeing crappy graphics, and prefer the modern movies. You like the clones because you simply like them, and I respect that. Others like them because of the modern grafics and stuff. But, like I said in my pevious post. They would be saying thing like "The rebels FTW!" or "Rebels forever" or things like that if the movies were made in opposite timelines.
Woah, woah, woah . . . Ahsoka Tano was killed!? VICTORY! I've always hated that she-bat. Her only redeeming quality is her lightsaber technique.
Well, I guess you´re right and many people like the clone wars only because of the effects and so on. But not me. And please don´t understand me wrong! I like the GCW, too! And of course the Imperial Star Destroyer has more firepower and propably a better armour than the Republican Attack Cruiser. But I just LIKE the Republican Attack Cruiser more because of its style. And it´s firepower, armor and shield was enough to beat the CIS.
I like the clone wars because there also are my favourite Jedi. Anakin, Obi-Wan, Mace Windu and and and... And the clones are by THEIR side. I just love the clones. Imperial or Republic isn´t important. I like both. But the republic just more because they are still on the Jedi´s side.
@ all Rebelguys: The imperial army isn´t evil, their leaders are!
No median, I hope you can understand me a bit more. I totally understand why you like the Empire (or just their Star Destroyers).
They are the best armed army ever seen in Star Wars.
And you talked about the clone wars.
Well: I didn´t watch the NEW movie with ash-kan or however you spell her name right. Reason? The new Clone Wars movie just doesn´t fit with the real Star wars. Anakin isn´t a Jedi-Master but gets an apprentice??!! WTF?!
I prefer the old two-part- Clone Wars movie. It fits with the Episodes, you see why Grievous has a... let´s call it "breath-problem" and it´s sometimes funny.
I think you can now understand why I like the Clone wars so much. (Especialy the CLONES themselves. Droids are just funny, but non-skilled^^)
Greetz
@27. Call me nuts, but I actually like the old movie effects better than new movie effects. They're slower, but look more real. You can easily tell every cursed thing is animated in the new movies...
Sorry Yammka, she got resurrected like ten minutes after she died. Maybe less, I didn't watch the episode.
I prefer the Empire, and one of the reasons is that very first scene in Episode IV. Anyone who says that wasn't a bad*** introduction to Star Destroyers has a problem. Venators are OK, but they look a little too perfect. So, I choose Empire.
I definitely prefer the Galactic Civil War Star Destroyers over the Clone Wars ones, and not just the Imperial ones, the New Republic's New Class Modernization Program ships are also great. Don't get me wrong, I would gladly command a Venator-class Star Destroyer any day, but a Nebula-class Star Destroyer is just impressive.
@Clone Trooper Fan: I completely agree with that assessment about the "new" Clone Wars too. Ahsoka Tano doesn't fit into the story, and *cough*The Clone Wars*cough*, in general, is just ridiculous and destructive to the saga.
I know full well this is a double post.
The New Republic should be in the Galactic Civil War and never associated with the *cough*Legacy*cough* era.
How does the New Republic not fit in with the Legacy Era. It was created after the fall of the Empire so that the galaxy wouldn't go into turmoil with no leadership. I don't see how it doesn't fit in with the Legacy Era.
well, median, for not liking the show (understatment, i assume) you sure know about one of the most recent episodes.
One word, comrad. Wookieepedia.
Oh, and you looked up ashoka? your least favorite character? or what?
In other news, I'll bet the next poll will be about season 3 of TCW.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlKgA6Osooo
Not really. I was bored and looked up Anakin/Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Wedge Antillies (my fav character), and Princess Liea (I think). On Anakin/Darth Vader's portfile os where I founded out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC3OoBSgFYs&feature=related
My fav SW ship on my fav game. I have this mod, too!
I gotta say, the Empire's ships ('cept for the run of the mill TIE fighter) kicked butt. Their technology level, army, navy, looks and style, pretty much everything were awesome. I love the GCW SDs. So they're definitely getting my vote.
@Marvel, that YouTube clip was pure win. Brings back memories of SWG, acutally... Ohhh, nostalgia.
@Everyone who likes GCW
Totally agree.
@Median
Older effects, much better era I think. I almost kinda like the older effects, like Ty said they almost look a bit more realistic. Many people DON'T like the GCW because it's older, and for a little while in my early Star Wars years, I was one of those people. But I am a die-hard GCW fan. Star Destroyers aside, REBELS ALL THE WAY! (And that opinion was SWG inspired, yes)
@Clone Trooper Fan
I respect your opinion as well, and must agree that there ARE certain aspects that I like about the Clone Wars era such as the Jedi being more abundant and the clones fighting for them, but I will always love GCW more (Much because of the incredible 3 years I had on Star Wars Galaxies. I'm ALWAYS gonna TOTALLY love that era/game!!!!!)
Also, for the most part you're right, Imperial troops/officers aren't evil, their leaders are. Of course, there are regular people who are "evil" in the Empire.
Anyone else noticing a Nazi Germany-Empire similarity?
People forced to fight for someone who is more-or-less evil, but in some respects can offer a better life/government after everyone had been in practical turmoil for years? Hopefully people'll see where I'm coming from with this.
WW2 fans/junkies, if you're here... I salute you, and ask that everyone give me your thoughts on the above.

| | CTF | 11.9% (78) | |

Whatever has the most units for me to pointlessly slaughter.
It depends. If it's normal Hero assault, then no. It's boring. Hunt depends on who the characters are, and Space and CTF are fun, but I prefer other things, like XL or something like that.
I always enjoy a nice flight. The other modes aren't so interesting... unless it's campaign mode.
I don't get it, why do so many people seem to like space? It's way too repetitive for me, I go in with my heavy transport, deposit people, destroy sub-systems from the interior, destroy frigates and by then the battle is usually over. I liked the campaign missions because they actually gave us something interesting to do with each objective.
Anyway, I chose Hero Assault. Darth Maul is probably my favorite to play as because of his wicked sprint.
There are a lot of good and interesting modes, so it's hard to say.
But I think I would choose CTF. In singleplayer it's a bit boring because you're very OP compared to the bots (They are also so stupid in Conquest, so that doesn't matter ), but in Multiplayer CTF is definitifely my favourite.
A thing that really annoys me with conquest is that you really loose very fast if there are only Noobs on your team and the enemy takes all the CPs.
In CTF you can't capture CPs and the that's the point for me.
Hero Assault is boring and Space Assault is a thing you can play once or twice but not more often. Hunt depends on the sides. XL is just senceless shooting and I don't like it.
What else have we got?
Well, my winner is : CTF
Other.
Story mode ftw. Rebel Ops....
Not very many people seem interested. A pity. I'd like to know the average user's opinion.
I'm a big fan of hunt mode at the moment. Great fun, and doesn't go on too long.
I prefer XL it has so many units that it is fun to use a vanguard, shock trooper, etc. or anything that can send a lot of explosive ordnance down range and take out many enemy's at once. launch a rocket and watch ten bodies flying threw the air.
I prefer space battles in multiplayer. IWhen you can fly on starfighter , fight in enemy hangar or defend your own one.And, of course, decide, who is the best pilot. ever=)

Okay, finally a new poll. This one is interesting. I'm going with AT-AT, cause of it's massive firepower, dispite it's slow movement.
I gotta give it to the AT-AT. Nothing else inspires fear in ground warfare like a good ol' fashioned AT-AT.
This has to be the easyest poll ever. I'm gonna put the walkers based on my liking:
#6. AT-PT: From my POV, it's not too powerfull to do any serios damage and can easly be a quick target. However, it can be efective against Infantry...
#5. AT-XT: I'd say it's the 'older' version of an ST, and it has to be the ugliest walker I've ever seen. However, It can actualy do some damage than other veicles the Clones have...
#4. AT-ST: Much more armed than the XT, but, I'd say... weaker than average veicles, I mean, even Ewoks could bring the things down!
#3. AT-RT: This one would be my "motorcycle" if you know what I mean. I don't like the fact that it's a bit slower than the XT, and that the pilot is vunreble to snipers or something like that. However it's prettyer, and an exelent anti-personell unit from my POV.
#2. AT-TE: As much as I hate clones, I have to admit that the AT-TE has to be respected, I mean, look at it, it can climb vertical walls, is heavly armed, and can be considered nearly unstoppable... unless a hailfire droid fires missiles at it. Other than that, It was a great machine that it was still being used during the GCW! My respects to this war mech.
#1: AT-AT: Of cource, this one PWNS ALL! It has Heavy laser cannons that can do immense destruction to anything that gets in it's way, and is heavly armored that most weapons cannot penertate! Due to it's effectiveness, for what I know, this walker was still in service during 130 ABY! Now that's a long time for something so obsolete! I do not like the fact that it can be tripped by towcables, and that it is not very manuverable than that of a AT-TE, but it's way more effective in destroying things... Not to mention coolness, and epicness!
Remember this only by my POV. I have no intention to start a conflict.
IMO AT-TE is the best.
What about the AT-AP? Didn't even make the list?
AT-At. All the way.
Yes, ATAT all the way. I dont know why.
HEY! ATAT is losing to the ATTE!!
tossup between AT-AT AT-TE and AT-ST
I'm not surprised. Kids these days...
i like all those vehicles, but the AT-TE wins for me. i had an inner struggle because i wanted to vote for the AT-AT too, but my choice is the AT-TE. i think it's more useful in a battle because it carries heavy arming with a good speed. the AT-AT on the other hand is stronger but slower and less maneuverable.
well, that's my opinion...
Deathplayer out.
Surely the AT-TE is my favourite. It looks amazing and has got quite a lot of firepower and, of course, it appears in the clone wars area.
AT PT is what i went for but AT AT is tied along with it. 
Wow I thought for sure the classic AT-AT would win this one!
OOOOOOOOOOOHH!!!!! I chose AT-TE, with AT-AT in second and AT-RT in third. The AT-AT is just an awesome classic, but the AT-TE is a pretty cool design...and the AT-RT is a really cool one-man vehicle.
at-te? really? hmm oh well. at-at = classic 
Consider this, people: An AT-TE with the firepower, armor, and transport space of the AT-AT, and everything else of itself.
Does that peak your interest?
After seeing this post, I have this horrible feeling that if Staff decides to make a poll on Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker, that Anakin will get more votes than Darth Vader...

What? Hey! Where's the bad*** missile launcher? That is by fear the BEST "toy" Boba Fett will ever have! Since it's not here, I'd say the second best is his jetpack. Too bad that cost him his doom, into the sarlacc...
I have to go with the armor. That armor just looks bloody wicked.
FLAME THROWER!
well, flamethrower all the way. it's awesome.
Jetpack is voted the most? 
and no helmet?
In my opinion the armor is best
His blaster rifle, well the EE-3 Carbine version not stock SWBFII.
FLAMETHROWER IS THE BEST!!!:smile:
 Why do people even choose the wee little jetpack?
I vote ARMOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forget the jetpack, why wasn't the missile launcher here!? That is by far the BEST weapon Boba could ever have!
forgot everything the grappling hook is the best i would be very happy if someone make a mod so that clones have it too
Jetpack of course! Who doesn't like to fly!?

WHITE LIGHTSABER!!! I'd definately have a pure white lightsaber, and then it will be red. Soaked by Ahsoka's blood!
No. seriosly. I'd have it white. Pure awsomely white, like I have 'em on Starkiller's lightsabers on TFU II.
Same as Starkli. The silver blades. I'd have two of them, capable of joining together to form one double-blade.
Purple, as Mace Windu is the only jedi I really like. Though, they could have made his dialogue a bit better, more like Jules's lines from Ezekiel 25:17 in PF!
A lightsaber in really DARK blue would be nice. Blue lightsabers are the best!
Blue. Blue lightsabers.
For some reason I life orange. Perhaps because no one in any movie has used it yet.
One of the main characters I've created has a white lightsaber. For me this would be my color.
I'd wield duel sabers; one purple one red. Red cause I'm dark side, purple cause it's my favorite color.
Ummm... don't you mean "dual sabers"?
The Color doesnt mater that much the only thing that maters is the weapon I chose blue
Nice color combo, Ty. All you need is Revan's robes/armor and a Mandalorian helmet and you're good to go.
I love orange. So I would definitely have an Orange saber. Maybe a scimitar though.... those are awesome.... An orange light-scimitar....
well, i can picture myself: man in black robes with single red lightsaber. i love black, and red gos good with black. why do you think sith didn't wear white robes? if not red, then dark blue like thrawn46 said.
Negative saber. Like in TFU.
I want a pink saber. Sounds kinky.
I'd choose red colors, moahahaha, I joined the dark side >
If I was light side, I'd have a regular length blue single saber (that's what I chose). If I was dark side, I would use a single regular length orange saber (like a Heart of the Guardian saber from KotOR) for duels and up-close battles and a purple longsaber for reflecting blaster bolts. I'd probably use that for reflecting blaster bolts in ranged battles. I'd definitely have all of my lightsabers on me at all times.
Aayla Secura had two different lightsabers. I don't see why I shouldn't either.
I'd have blue if i had a choice of one, but if I had two sabers to dual weild then blue and red, or both blue like in TFUII.
Yellow and orange, because those are my favorite colors. AND jedi do not use red lightsabers, and it isn't which side you would join poll.
green and purple. Not because of barney, but because of the psychological effect.
Dark red, it surprises me that red doesn't end up first
@3:
@18: Actually, she never used more than one blue lightsaber, except in Battlefront...
#23 Yeah that's true...only one.
wait, why does purple have the least votes, even less then yellow? (blarrgh  )
Mine would be white with a green stripe
purple is the best! I don't see why all the boring colors won. Blue?! Every lightsaber is either green or blue for Jedi! Stand Out! PURPLE ALL THE WAY!
Orange backhand! It's just a general systematic choice for all of us to choose
i put blue but sometimes i think green ;D
The fact that blue is winning has caught me by surprise. I was expecting more red and/or other (white) lightsaber color would've been in first...
I would have a yellow lightsaber, because all banned jedi got a yellow one.
I think i wouldnt stay very long at the councel!
And i like yellow!

Everyone should realize that the Maleviolence is a huge deadly CIS cruiser even more deadly then the Invisible Hand and it is controlled by General Grevious.
The Avenger, is a super-sized Republic cruiser that has never lost a battle.
No idea what each of them are, but I'll look and post/vote later.
I can't decide. They're both very good ships.
I
If you have seen Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Cartoon Network, you would remember that episode where Anakin Skywalker leads his tropps against the Malevolence. The most dangerous weapon is it's Ion Cannon or whatever it is. It disables ships and then they blow up.
The Avenger is a Star Destroyer that is seen in The Empire Strikes Back that waas chasing the Millenium Falcon.
I can't decide which is superior, but I like the Empire so I choose the Avenger, mainly because it has never lost a battle.
To be honest, I really have no clue whatsoever. Both ships are pretty powerful. According to Wookiepedia, the Malevolence has an armament consisting of 500 twin turbolaser cannons, 5 point defense light laser cannon batteries, 2 tractor beam batteries, and 2 ion pulse cannons. The Imperial Star Destroyer Mark II (what the Avenger was) has an armament of 8 octuple turbolasers, 5 heavy turbolasers, 5 turbolasers, and at least 26 additional turbolasers, along with 20 heavy ion cannons and 10 tractor beam batteries. Also, if we look at size, the ISDII does look a bit out of it's class. According to Wookiepedia, the ISDII is 1.6 KM long. The Subjugator-class Warship, however, is around 4.8 KM long. But since when does size matter? I don't know if these number are correct, and please don't start saying I'm a moron, because I'm basing these off of what Wookiepedia said, and I'm not saying that they're accurate. I'm not going to vote until I read what other people have to say, what others say always seems to shed light on the situation.
I'm guessing that after all the years between the Malevolence and the ISDII that they would have come up with A: A defence against that ion weapon and B: Cannons that have longer range. (Because the ion weapon outranged the other guns, giving the Malevolece the advantage). Another thing to consider is strategy. The Avenger could send all it's bombers towards the Malevolence to bomb it's ion weapon while staying out of range.
Same as Jdg50 on this one, but i vote avenger
i agree with FighterRex. it depends on stategy. and all i know is that as soon as the avenger is in range, the ion pulse cannon on the malevolance will disable him, and the SD will be obliterated. not that these two ships were operating at once, but i still vote the malevolance
Very easy. Avenger. All the way.
Reason #1: It's much more modren than the sorry-excuse-for-a-cruiser, and this... Malelvo-whatimajiggy is obsolete.
Reason#2: An Ion cannon? The Empire's Star Destroyers are allready equipped with those things all over it! Hell, they even got fighters equipped with Ion guns!
Reason#3: Like a few have said, the Avenger hasn't lost a battle... unless the battle of Endor, if it was there in the first place...
See, it was this kind of response I was hoping to see... because it is so completely ridiculous. One is a superweapon, the other is a standard destroyer. You're talking about maybe a 30-year difference between the two in terms of tech, and this is in the Star Wars universe, where tech advancement is sluggish at best on a grand scale. Even if you look at it on an Earth scale, a 30-year old battleship with ten times as many guns as a modern cruiser would still pulverize the modern cruiser.
The Malevolance doesn't just have an ion cannon, it has a super-laser-scale ion cannon that could take out entire fleets of proto-Star-Destroyers. A single planet defender ion cannon (a standard ground emplacement) was too much for one Star Destroyer to handle, and this superweapon gets written off because it's old? So are proton torpedoes, and they were good enough to blow up a Death Star. The Death Star itself was tech conceived in the Clone Wars.
It is always amusing to see people answer these polls with "oh duh answer X, because it's Imperial, and they're the best because I like them."
I don't really go further than "I like the Avenger, cause the Empire is awesome!", but here goes.
What Mav said. It's all about how many guns you have, how big your ship is, and who is controlling the ship.
Guns: Guns, guns, guns. It's always gotta be guns! If a tank and a cruiser got in a fight, who would win? The cruiser, cause it has multiple weapons while the tank has one (1). In this case who would win: Malevolance or Avenger? The Malevolance. Why? 800 turbolasers to blast your @$$ into oblivion!! And an ion cannon the size of a corvette. Nuff said. Moving on.
Size: Bigger isn't better, stronger isn't braver, taller isn't always wise. Yes, I got that from a Broadway musical. Not it isn't always true. You know that saying, "it's not about the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean"? Forget that. In this scenario I want the Titanic! I would say Malevolance cause it is 4.8 km versus the Avenger's 1.6 km.
Leadership: Let's see. A reptillian robot versus a human. I would say Grievous all the way since he is just a complete d-bag in the Star Wars universe and is brutal on epic proportions. If Grievous was a superweapon, he would definitely be the Malevolance. And honestly, Grievous would wreck any captain who makes one-liners about his hobby while at work. "Good, our first catch of the day". Honestly. But I do agree that if the Avenger were to stay out of range and send in a fleet of bombers, it would wreck shop.
The Facts: Malevolance, Malevolance, mostly Malevolance
My Opinion: Avenger. Empire ftw!
Mav, you were totally right, and that's exactly what I did. i just choose the Avenger 'cause it's an Imperial Cruiser and there's only a 30-year difference. After reading Mav's comment, I changed my mind almost immediatly after reading it. Not just because he said he rather chooses the Malevolence, but beacuse of the factors I didn't encounter, and after reading Wookieepedia's info on both of these ships and studying closer, I change my vote.
I would say the Malevolence would win because of two reasons.
1.) The Malevolence has a big enough ion cannon to completely disable the Avenger with one shot. The avenger does have ion cannons too, but they are too small to disable a ship with one shot. It needs a lot of shots and by the time they hit 50-100 or so, they are already shot by the huge ion cannon on the Malevolence.
2.) The Malevolence has more cannons and turrets than the avenger. Sure, the Avenger is huge, but it has hardly any cannons on it. In my opinion, it was based on size, so they could frighten their enemies and make them lose the will to fight them.
... That bada&%$ is the Malevowatimajiggy? Dang. There goes my way of thinking. I still like the Imps, though... ... ... Do you think the Malevo-thing could take on the Executor?
Maybe? I didn't make a more well-known Imperial ship the other choice, though, because I wanted to see if people would think about their votes. The Executor has a lot more conventional firepower than the Malevolence does, but the Malevolence still has that super-weapon, which is probably an effective one-shot against any capital ship. I thought about making it Malevolence vs. Eclipse, which would really just boil down to whichever ship got the jump on the other, since the Eclipse's superlaser could destroy the Malevolence in one shot but the Malevolence's ion cannon could probably take the Eclipse out of battle in one shot.
i think the eclipse would win because destruction isn't the same as shutdown. but that doesn't matter. i voted for avenger because A) i don't like TCW and B) there's the malevolence in a mod for EaW, but it's very easy to destroy in that mod. i know that's a bad reasoning but i don't care this time 
Also, doesn't the Malevolence only have ONE ion cannon that size? If so, the Avenger could just out-manouver it to flank it on its weak side.
@ Rogue_Clone: no, it has two ion cannons, one on each side.
depends weather the avenger gets the emp thingy off the malevolence and if it does the malevolence is screwed
I Go With Molevolence
i vote for the Avanger because i like star destroyer more than the Malevolance. and actually, the malevolance was just blowed up after a two or three episodes of clone wars^^ typical luck of general grievous^^
Malevolence for me. I saw the comments and i thought gosh, 800 turbolaser vs. what, 44 guns , which are more powerful but get their @$$ kicked by the 2 ion cannons. I don't think the avenger could destroy the Malevolence before the subjugator got those ion cannons firing to disable the Avenger and beat the stuffing out of it with the 800 turbos that were mentioned. Malevolence all the way
Malevolence. 1 because of the bad@$$ gun on that thing and 2 because of a particular cyborg called grievous at the controls.

Star destroyers have bigger guns and also out gun the mon Cals... I think. But, I do know that SDs have bigger guns.
MC80 would win.
I'm not going to get all technical with this one, I'll just go with the Victory Star Destroyer due to more firepower.
Star destroyers.
Star Destroyers are always the best!!!
In X-Wing Alliance, Mon Cal is way better then a Victory Star Destroyer. Remember, a Victory-Class Star Destroyer is like half the size of a regular Star Destroyer. Mon Cal wins.
A nuke can be packed in a suitcase these days.
A huge bomb of 8000 kilo's pure TNT is massive and huge.
My point: Size doesn't matter.
I'd still go with the mon cal since I played soooooooo (maybe a little to much) much empire at war, try a victory vs mon cal, your victory really doesn't stand a chance.
Wow, Its not a SD guys. Anyone who played Eaw,Foc or X-wing allaince knows what I mean. Victory cruisers have less firepower then Mon calamari....
on the one hand, there are MC80 Home One-Class and MC80 Liberty-Class. first one has 36 turbos and 36 ion cannons, second one has 48 turbos and 20 ion cannons. i'd say the liberty-class has more firepower due to the majority of turbolaser cannons compared to the home one-class. i'll use the liberty-class for my statement.
one the other hand, there are Victory I-Class SD and Victory II-Class SD. first one has 10 quad turbos, 40 dual turbos and 80 concussion missile tubes. second one has 20 quad turbos, 40 dual turbos and 20 ion cannons. i'll use the second one again, because it's the victory from EaW.
the victory has more weapons but the liberty has better shields. the shields are even stronger than ISD shields, so they should be a lot stronger than the shields of victorys. because of this fact i vote for the MC80. (poor little victory... )
end of my statement.
btw, @ Mav and/or others who answered to my posts in other polls: i don't want to start a discussion about the two ships and their arming/shielding/whatever, this is why i called this one statement. would be nice if you could respect my wish to prevent a discussion about this, i just want the other people to post their opinions.
now i'm finished
Yo In a straight out battle Mon Cal would probably win. However, victory has fighters and BOBMERS! Mon Cal too slow to take out bombers and it dies.
lol 99.99%
wait, which Victory Class are we talking about here? Victory I class or Victory II Class? Either way i'm going for Mon Cal because Victory Classes are weaker.
I vote star destroyer.
It seems people automaticly equat "Star Destroyer" with the big ships you see in the movies. The Victory-Class Star Destroyer (Or Victory-Class Cruiser I think it's sometimes called) is actually way way smaller then the regular Imperial Star Destroyer.
I think Mon Calamari's are easily a match 1 vs 1 with a true ISD, and against the puny "victory" class, 1 or 2, it should easily win.
I'm not really sure to be honest, but I voted for the Victory SD. Not only firepower, hull and shields strengh are important, but the quality of the crew. That means Empire FTW!
-vEñ
Mon Cal easily, the Victory is out matched here
MCC.
VSDs are good, but they are majorly outclassed by the sheer shields of the MC80... remember that MC80s could hold off ISDs for a while...
MC80

I've heard of the TIE, but a missile boat? A boat on water equipped with missiles? Is that it?
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Missile_Boat
That thing. You play it in the TIE Fighter game. I always loved playing as the TIE Defender, so it gets my vote. Plus, the TIE Defender's weaponry is far superior. It's really no contest, the Missile Boat just lives up to its name by being a base for missiles. It only has one laser cannon.
@2. So? As (for the uptenth time) a veteran of Tie Fighter and X-Wing Alliance, I can say that having more missiles is much better then cannons. The Missile Boat has I believe, 20 standard missiles plus room for 20 addition warheads. Onless you have unlimited ammo on, missile boat trumps the defender.
I honestly think the biggest advantage of the missile boat is as a hit-and-fade capital ship attack platform. If you are a "veteran" of XvT multiplayer, then you'll certainly remember that almost any dogfight devolves into a furball pretty fast. You'll only get one, maybe two, volleys of warheads, and a good pilot will just shoot the warheads down.
I think the missile boat has a lot going for it (its speed is frankly incredible), but specifically based on the game mechanics of XWing vs. TIE Fighter, I'd definitely give the edge to the TIE Defender. In an in-universe scenario? It'd be more of a toss-up, since you don't really see a lot of the "shooting-down-missiles" thing you see all the time in games (there also don't seem to be the countermeasures available in the games).
i say TIE Defender. it has better arming for dogfights (4 laser cannons, 2 ion cannons, 2 warhead launchers, while the missile boat has 1 laser cannon, 2 concussion missile launchers and 2 projectile launchers) and is faster and more maneuverable.
So, now I know what a Missile Boat is. Quite an overkill if you ask me. That thing is mostly a n artificial bee hive on it's own. I think my "boat" is with the "Mobile Bee Hive"
hehe. Get it? "Boat?" ... ... anyone? ... ...*groan* forget it.
Anyways, when are we gonna have character versus?
Keep in mind, though - the Missile Boat has a lower cruising speed, but it's a lot faster at top speed than the Defender is (it's got a mechanic that allows it to double its speed for short periods of time). It's got pretty much anything outstripped in the warhead category, too - it can carries something on the order of 80 missiles at once, which is ten times what a Defender can carry.
If you go to http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Missile_Boat, you'll read that a missile boat was created as a countermeasure against rogue imperial officer Demetrius Zaarins' TIE Defenders. So I think one on one, Gun Boat.
gunboat = big missiles big missiles= EPIC WIN
TIE defender is pretty much a high tech fancy jet, missiles are solid and relible and blast anything short of a star frigate out of the sky.
Missile Boat DEFINITLY
TIE Defender rocks!!!
@9 and 10. Gunboat is actually different then the missileboat.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Assault_gunboat
Still a solid ship, and the inspiration for the missileboat, but no match for a defender.
I think the Gunboat was my second favorite craft in that game. It felt like a precursor to the TIE Defender in almost all aspects.
I voted Missile Boat (just to be in the minority) but I love both ships so much; the TIE Defender is so versatile and effective at just about any role you can give a starfighter, and the Missile Boat is so effective at dealing with anything as long as it has warheads to spare.
Well, as it says on Wookieepedia, the Missle Boat was created specifically to destroy TIE Defenders, which it apparently excelled at. My vote is for the Missle Boat because of the fact.
this sounds like empire at war. but, tie defender. i like their shape and skills.
The Missile Boat was designed to fight the Tie Defender. This was in response to the treachery of Admiral Zaarin, who took the majority of the Empire's Tie Defenders with him. A common tactic Missile Boat pilots used against Tie Defenders was to get them in their sights, hinder their speed and maneuverability with a miniature tractor beam, and annihilate them with a few of the forty(!) missiles it carried.
A Tie Defender was still a dangerous adversary, but the Missile Boat often emerged victorious in dogfights. My money's on the Missile Boat.

Hmmm..... BF2 wise, I'd say the TIE.
Crap. I thought it said TIE FIGHTER. Not TIE Interceptor. I accidentally voted for the X-Wing. I now change my vote to Interceptor. It's superior in every way. The X-Wing is good, but the Interceptor was MADE for dog-fighting. Not the TIE Fighter on the other hand...
Quote:
the Interceptor was MADE for dog-fighting
As opposed to the X-Wing (or TIE Fighter, for that matter), which was made primarily for hauling cargo, right?
Quote:
It's superior in every way
Except for durability, shielding, weapons loadout... it's faster, and that's about it. Sometimes speed is what matters, but the TIE Interceptor is not unequivocally superior.
I don't know why, but I think an ARC-170 starfighter have a better chance against the 2 combined. It has shields, and a back-seat gunner to get those on their tail, so the Interceptor is eliminated. The ARC-170 was also built for war, and was made to last. In other words, it has what the X-wing has, but more. Sure, the cannons are weaker and is an ancestor to the X-wing, but it has double the firepower (ARC-170 has Forward-mounted medium laser cannons (2)[1] Rear-mounted laser cannons (2)[1] Proton torpedo launcher (1)[2] 6 torpedoes[1], while the X-wing has Taim & Bak KX9 or IX4 laser cannons[10] (4)[4] Krupx MG7 proton torpedo launchers (2)[4] Standard load: 3 torpedoes each[10]), and can be loaded with powerful sensors, scanners, and jammers. This way, ARC have the element of surprise, and decrease the hit rate (or eliminate it entirely for that matter) of the X-wing's ANq 3.6 tracking computer. But to be back on topic, I voted for the Tie-Interceptor. Despite being only slightly slower, it is very similar to the Jedi Starfighter and, in the right hands, can eliminate one, if not many, X-wings.
this is not about arc-170s. this is about interceptors and x-wings. i vote for x-wing, BF1 style
Personally, I think the interceptor is more beastly BF2 wise.
As much as I hate to say it, the X-Wing would win. It actually has shields a, life support system, and more fire power, though the TIE Interceptor is more maneuverable. I think.
is this poll about the original interceptor, or the later configuration (with 2 blaster cannons added)?
If the TIE interceptor made any sense at all, I would have voted for it.
Unfortunately, it's the most ridiculous vehicle I've ever seen. I mean come on, two huge flimsy sheets of metal blocking the pilot's side views? And on the planet surface, there's no doubt in my mind the wings would snap right off if the ship went too fast.
From my POV, they're both beutifull fighters, and I love them both.
But, I love the X-wing more than the TIE, and I'm certain that the X-wing can pwn the TIE.
From starwars.wikia "The TIE Interceptor fielded P-s5.6 twin ion engines.[6] These new engines included an advanced ion-stream projector, thus allowing pilots access to more sophisticated combat maneuvers. Twin-port deflectors supported this feat by allowing the pilot individual manipulation of the deflectors, thus providing finer flight control.[4] These advancements in engine technology made the TIE Interceptor a superior platform in space combat, achieving speeds beyond all other Alliance starfighters short of the A-wing." I rest my case.
And then one paragraph later:
Quote:
Interceptor pilots were forced to rely on speed, maneuverability, superior numbers, and advanced weapon systems to prevail in its primary role of space superiority.
If you're better one-on-one, you don't have to rely on superior numbers. Just because it's not a TIE Fighter doesn't mean it's not still an unshielded deathtrap.
That's a fair point, but the Interceptor does have better visibility than the Tie Fighter, so that must count as some advantage in a "one-on-one" dogfight. Maybe not enough compared to the X-Wing though. Oh well! I think I'm going to have to concede on this one.
I voted for the X-Wing, but if I'm flying the Tie Interceptor, then sure it can... I mean WILL win. I am a veteran Tie pilot for you information.
(Veteran of Star Wars TIE Fighter and X-Wing Alliance if you didn't already know.)
Hmm, well the X-wing has more armor, but the TIE Intercepter has more firepower. Its hard to say, really. I'd go with the X-wing.
Yeah, most likely the X-Wing.
The TIE I/Interceptor was made to kill all those "puny fighters" of the rebellion. So who do ya think is going to win, the old Incom X-15, or the speacialy designed TIE I/Interceptor. DO THE MATH!!!!  
i made the same mistake as #2 and i completely agree with what he said.
Hmm,
If they used the T-65AC4 model, then the X-Wing would win.
The T-65AC4 has a speed and acceleration comparable to the A-Wing, which is faster than the TIE interceptor. It also has the avionics, shields, and sensors upgrades from T-65AC3. Star wars logic wise, the X-WIng would win! =)
But SWBF2 wise tie interceptor would win.

I would like to know, whether interdictor cruiser reffers to the one from the sith in the KotOR Era or to the interdictor cruiser from GCW era
C'mon, it wouldn't even make any sense to pair a KotOR-era ship up against a GCW-era ship.
oh come on guys...
of course the GCW Interdictor is meant
you'll find it in EaW/FoC on the imp side
...i'd vote for the interdictor.
it's not that strong(according to EaW/FoC), but it defenitifly looks better.
Interdictor makes it so the Nebulon-B can't retreat, Nebulon-B is about one EIGHTH the size, with twice as many turbo-lasers. Interdictor all the way.
Though I love the Empire, i'll go with the nebulon B. Though the interdictor can stop any ship from going to light speed, it's preety useless and defenseless in a fight. In both Empire at war games, it is adviseable to keep it behind the main fleet. But, if the poll referes to the Interdictor Star Destroyer, then yes, the nebulon B stands no chance at all. But against a normal interdictor, I can't see the nebulon losing.
hum. i'd say interdictor (Immobilizer 418 Cruiser [source: wookiepedia]). it's arming is more powerful than most people think: it has 20 quad turbolaser cannons. the nebulon-b has 12 turbolasers and 12 laser cannons. that means the nebulon-b has more weapons, but also the interdictor has a "deflector shield created by more than a dozen shield generators"(source is wookiepedia [again]).
conclusion: i vote for the "more than a dozen shield generators"
I vote the nebulon b frigate.
I think for people who haven't got a clue, this poll is probably to encourage you to use google. Indeed, google is your friend. I'm just going to google it now 
3rd option in poll:
The ship I am commanding...
8) It has quad laser cannons, not quad turbolaser cannons. There's no such thing as the latter. The Interdictor has 20 medium guns while the Nebulon-B has 12 heavy guns and 12 light guns. They both carry about an equal amount of starfighter support. Remember that number of shield generators (or anything else) doesn't matter, power does (for all intents and purposes, the shielding of either one of these should be about equal). The Interdictor is a bigger target, but it's also a little faster (Source: Wookieepedia).
6) The Interdictor is twice the size of the Nebulon-B (not eight times), but in a capital ship fight, size is not necessarily something to be desired.
Rolldown:
Nebulon-B: 2 turbos, 2 lasers, no fighters, medium shielding, medium-low armor
Interdictor (frigate): 4 lasers, no fighters, low shielding, low armor
My choice: Nebulon-B Frigate. The interdictor might be able to disrupt missiles, but the stock EaW nebulon doesn't have missiles. The nebulon just has the interdictor out gunned, out armored, out shielded, and just over powered.
But again, this is with the stock EaW/FoC models. In the 5-6 years I've played them, I've never seen a Nebulon, or any ship for that matter, lose to an interdictor.
@ Mav: "number of shield generators (or anything else) doesn't matter, power does" that's a good argument. unfortunately wookiepedia doesn't have informations about the power produced by the immobilizer or nebulon-b. so it may be that the mass of shield generators isn't effective (in case of too less energy) but we don't know.
well, i still think that the immobilizer could beat the nebulon-b.
Sorry, the poll wasn't specific, and I figured it was the Interdictor Star Destroyer (1600 meters) as opposed to the Immobilizer 418 Cruiser (600 meters). My math was still off, the ISD is only 5.3 times greater, but it was a misunderstanding brought about by the ambiguity of the poll.
I can disprove you on that one... quad turbos do exist. Look at the amarments for the ISD II... quad heavy turbos
3rd ship option:
Hiigaran Battlecruiser. NONE can sustain it's awsomeness ION CANNONS!!! It'll tear through those puny ships like cottage cheese!
But, since we're not talking about Homeworld 2 here, I think I'm going with the Interdictor cruiser. Size allways matters.
In case you don't know, the Interdicter Cruiser is used by the Empire, while the Nebulon-B Frigate is used by the Rebel Alliance. The Interdictor Cruiser is shown in the game Empire at War, and the Nebulon-B Frigate is seen in EaW, SWBF II, and in the movies, The Empire Strikes Back (at the end of the movie where Luke and Leia are the frigate) and Return of the Jedi (in the Battle of Endor). If you still don't know what or how the ships look like here's a link to their images:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:NBfrigate.JPG
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Immobilizer_Interdictor_Cruiser.JPG
As for my vote, the Interdictor Cruiser is much better in combat than the Nebulon-B Frigate, mainly because the Nebulon-B Frigate is intended as an escort for injured soildes or important people.
Being a veteran of the Tie Fighter and X-Wing Alliance games I have some knowledge of GCW-era capital ships. The while I personally like the Neb-B Figate, the Imperial Interdictor Cruiser is the better bet as it is bigger and I think has more shields and cannons. (Don't quote me on that.)
I think the Interdictor Cruiser is pretty cool ! Empire rocks !

| | Slave 1 | 52.1% (234) | |
| | Millennium Falcon | 47.8% (215) | |
|
Total: 449 | | Start: 10-31-2010 21:44 | | Last: 11-07-2010 20:04 |
Uh, seriously? It's pretty obvious.
I'm with the Slave I. It has that Seismic charge (however that's spelled) charge, missiles, and all sorts of freaky weapons. However, what I see in favor to the Falcon is the hyperdrive stuff, but in weapons and things like that, Slave I FTW.
Slave I. Why? Because I have the slave I lego set.
that's difficult.
the slave 1 has heavy arming and is very agile. the falcon has heavy arming too and it has very powerful shields.
i vote for the falcon.
I'm gonna say the Slave I beacause it's so much more heavily armed and more maneuverable than the Falcon but the main characters are on the Falcon, and everybody knows that the main characters are invincible.
Im goin with the Falcon cuz it has good shields and Han & Chewie is a beastly battle combo. (They would destroy boba in a ground battle.)
Slave 1. Cool ship.
@3 That's super cool, thanks for sharing.
Land? I really don't know. Space? Slave I. Hands down. Seismec charges, missles, rapid-fire laser cannons. It also possesses impressive maneuvering abilities. The Falcon has a quad-laser cannon and missles. Also, the Falcon isn't really maneuverable. Another thing: Han Solo is a Correlian smuggler. Boba Fett is a Mandalorian. I think that a Mandalorian could build a more combat-effective ship than a smuggler. This brings me to my final point: the Falcon itself is a smuggling vessel. The Slave I is a combat-ready ship. IMO: Slave I > Falcon
Falcon. Why? Call it the "Stormtrooper effect" or the "Lucas effect" or the "American movie effect" or whatever. The good guy always has to win.
It's a hard life for super-villians like me.
@#9 ...
Anyways, the Slave I has pretty good stealth. It can disguise itself as trash
But on land Boba would win too. A mandalorian against a couple of smugglers... I mean seriously? Most.... obvious..... poll..... eva....
Boba wins. Simply put.
Only in movies my friend. Take the games. SWBF2, Empire at War, and others which I'm too lazy to think of at this moment. In those games, the good guy has to FIGHT for victory, not walk around swinging a lightsaber or firing a blaster with their eyes closed as blaster shots miraculously pass centimeters away from their head, never finding their target. If only the "stormtrooper effect" existed in the video games.
No respect for the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy. Boba Fett is smart, if he was a better pilot than Han and Chewie, he would have attacked them to disable their ship in Ep V, not stealthily follow them.
well, this has been a close poll. but yes, slave 1 for sure. i have plenty of respect for the "bucket of bolts", though. slave 1 has seismic charge, rockets, repeating blasters, etc, etc. MF has good quad cannons and proton torpedoes. as i said, pretty close. but the "bad guy, bad shot" effect makes MF win. again, pretty close.
I voted Slave 1 though, the mandalorians are cool. no offense to the walking carpet and the old pirate. as i said, pretty close.
im a man of few words, arent I?
Hey, I had the Lego set of the Slave I! Then I got another Lego set of another spaseship thingy! I merged the two ships to make a super-ship (along with a bucket of MegaBlock wich fit in perfectly with Legos)! Now I only have the second set of the Bionicle series. I don't mean the lame modern ones with the arms and legs bending, I mean the cool original 1st season phase two! Tahu, Gali, Lewa, Kopaka, Onua, and Pohatu. Those guys! Oh, I miss my blocks!
(holy dang! I still remember their names!)
MF is fast, but lightly armed when compared to the Slave 1. Also, whoever said that Han Solo and Chewbacca would beat an experienced bounty hunder in advanced Mandalorian armor with years of training from one of the best warriors ever, wowwwww....
Maybe the same reason they beat him in ROTJ. If the Millennium Falcon can fly through an asteroid field, and was "the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs", it could outrun it but to win a head to head depends on the skill of the pilot, and in my opinion Han Solo is the best.
@16
Oh really? I happen to have all of the 1st series Toa (Tahu, Gali, Lewa, Onua, Pohatu, Kopaka, and Takunava), their matching Bohrak, all of the Toa Nuva, and their matching Bohrak-Kal. (Wow. I remembered all of that.) As for the poll, Mileniumn Falcon. That's all I'm going to say.
millenium falcon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Green forest, white armor. NEW POLL! YES!
Yep! Green forest, white armor. You think they would have learned from the Clone Wars on Kashyyyk.
Other options...
*Replacing the DC-17 with the E-11.
*Placing starship shield generators out in the open.
*Not protecting main reactors!
*Chasing Ewoks instead of shooting them.
*Being the bad guys in an American movie.
Secret Option E.) All of the above
There are good reasons for most of those.
-The E-11 is almost certainly a more advantageous weapon than a DC-17. No matter what you may think you see on-screen, technology of the Empire is almost certainly better or more refined than tech of the Republic.
-Those are sensor domes, not shield generators.
-Ventilation shafts have to be able to ventilate, and half-completed constructions are... half-completed.
finally a new poll
It seems to me their worst mistake was the fact that not one stormtrooper could hit the broadside of a barn with a machinegun. Now im gonna quote an anime I saw: "It doesnt matter how powerful your gun is if you cant hit anything with it."
None of the above. My opinion is using Stormtroopers instead of Dark Troopers. If they had expanded on the Dark Trooper project, I guarantee you they would not have had problems with rebels in the first place!
Yep, green forest and white armor don't mix. But from my POV, I'd say the WORST mistake is making patheticly weak- no BEYOND weak fighters! I mean, anything can kill a TIE! A simple blaster bolt could bring down one simple TIE.
Green forest white armor. Nuff said. Yeah. You would think with the cheap training and all that they would at least camoflauge the armor. The Clones had white armor because they were supposed to be brave and strong, but the stormtroopers had crappy training and no bravery.
@5: Hate to break it to ya, but those WERE shield Generators. I pulled this from Wookiepedia.
http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081003185538/starwars/images/0/04/ISD_egvv.jpg
Just wanted to point that out.
Wookieepedia, like Wikipedia, isn't always right. It's a matter of some contention, but they've been mentioned by people closest to the production as sensor domes and not as shield generators.
http://forums.starwars.com/thread.jspa?threadID=271208&tstart=0
Then how did the Executor lose most of its shields when one of those domes were destroyed at Endor?
Rattler20200 has a point.
Also, most of the images on Wookiepedia were NOT made by Wookiepedia itself. This one in particular is from the Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels, a very reliable source.
There is also another source as well. This picture, from the Star Wars Technical Journal (Volume Two), shows the same location of the deflector shields.
http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080927200457/starwars/images/2/26/Isdsideview.jpg
Its shields were down but only one sensor dome had been destroyed. The presentation in the movie is confusing, because its sequential, but it's likely that the destruction of the sensor domes is a symptom of the shields being down, not the cause.
Like I said, it's a subject in contention; The books don't all agree with themselves, even Wookieepedia doesn't always even agree with itself:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Executor-class_Star_Dreadnought#Sensor_domes
The bottom line is that the various tech books have been inconsistent before - it took years to agree on the correct "length" of Super Star Destroyers. The best way to know is to look at the most original source, and the designers at ILM are quoted as saying that they're sensor domes, designed after traditional radar dome receivers. In any case, the most complete information on strictly technical issues in Star Wars can be seen here, at Star Wars Technical Commentaries (linked to sensor domes):
http://www.theforce.net/swtc/towers.html#globes
Then again, we're talking about the Super Star Destroyers. It may serve a different purpose in ISDs.
It wouldn't make a lot of sense to have two identical objects serve different purposes, really. The link in the above post addresses them in regard to both SSDs and ISDs, anyway.
Okay guys fighting over the shield generators/sensor domes issue. Read the 1st and 3rd posts in this forum (Mav posted the link originally I just read a lot and found this):
http://forums.starwars.com/thread.jspa?threadID=271208&tstart=0
KuatiKid says that "The illustration of the domes in both books show the sphere contains sensor equipment, while the jutting vanes are the shield projectors." He (or she) also says "I'm not confusing anything, Rich1985, it's stated outright in NEGTVAV, ITW:OT and SW:CL that the domes have sensor functions as well as having local-area deflector shield projectors (the vanes jutting out of the globe, as shown in NEGTVAV and the cross-section in ITW:OT)."
Conclusion: The domes on top of Star Destroyers/other Star Destroyer-like vessels are both sensor domes and shield projectors. And by the way STAR WARS IS JUST A MOVIE.
I've already said that the books have conflicting explanations. Linking one set of forum posts (this discussion) to someone else's opinion (that discussion) doesn't really change anything. The only reason I linked to that forum thread at all was because of the mention of the ILM worker as being quoted saying they were specifically sensor domes.
I should have linked directly to the quote, which I did do in a later post:
Quote:
We're also still working on the sequence where Mad Max crashes his A-wing into Vader's ship and causes the star destroyer to lose control and crash into the Deathstar. The penetration shot with the mushroom-cloud explosion we've had for some time, and we've got the shot where the ship's been hit and is starting to heel over. A very large explosion is coming out of the bridge area and it's causing several others to go as well; and one of the big radar domes up on top has been blown away, and that's spewing flames. It's pretty spectacular. Between that sort of closeup of the bridge section and the long-shot of the surface, we need two more cuts of the ship continuing to heel over and dropping towards the Deathstar like an arrow. We've shot a number of elements on those - explosions and things that have to be projected onto the miniatures - and so they're pretty much ready to go. Don Dow will be shooting those tomorrow.
Stormtroopers can't aim!
I think the worst decision ever made was trying to kill the main characters. Since when does that ever work?
I think Marksmanship training is the dumbest mistake they've made. You don't need to be concealable when you can shoot someone far enough that that they haven't seen you yet. Even if you don't have shields for your starships, if you shoot them before they shoot you, chances are they are the ones going to get killed. Though the short radius for big walkers also poses a problem..
Worst idea ever: not developing proton torpedo proof ray shields
They wouldn't be ray shields then, would they?
I wish I would've replied earlier.
Anyway, I want to reply to Mav:
First, the E-11 I'm certain is more powerful then the DC-17, but is it more accurate? It could just be that Stormies have pathedic sharpshooting abilities, or simply that it is illegal for good-guy main characters to die in movies. You may have me here.
Second, the dome exploded after two A-Wings shot it, afterwhich an Imp officer reported "We've lost our bridge deflector shield!" This could mean that each dome shields part of the ship. Also, I believe in some games like X-Wing Alliance or Empire at War, the domes are listed as shield generators. Regardless, it is obvious that the large Imperial warships are vunerable to light fighter ships.
Third, when I said "protecting the main reactor" I not only ment making it harder to get to, but also having better defenses around it. Missile batteries, light laser turrets, perhaps light patrol craft in the Death Star II's interior, stuff like that.
Ultimately, all that matters is that the Empire was the "bad guys" and therefore MUST lose because it would be unthinkable for bad guys to win. (Lots of sarcasim here.)
Two discrete events are not related simply by virtue of the fact that they occurred one after another. Saying "Dang it and I just washed this shirt!" after walking outside in the rain does not mean that washing your shirt makes it rain. If the Star Destroyer had just lost its bridge deflector shields, it would be very likely that things surrounding the bridge would be vulnerable to attack - things like the sensor domes.
Btw, if you had read the link I provided above (at the Star Wars Tech Commentaries) or read the post I made above, this wouldn't really be in debate.
I feel like "Letting an emotionally-unstable psychopath command legions troops for three movies straight, all the while killing commanding officers, sending his troops to their deaths, plotting to kill the emperor, and eventually succeeding by throwing him into a pit of blueish fire." should be on there.
IMO, the Empire needed to work on the design of the AT-AT. Sure, MAYBE they weren't expecting snow speeders, but still, they made the legs of the walkers one big target. Who cares if the Empire reinforced them. Unless you have at least five or six, getting into one of those things is signing your own death warrant.
Starfighters without shields. frikkin retards.
WAIT! Posted wrong thing WHIT ARMOR, GREEN FOREST. (especially if they try to blend in)
I personally think their worst mistake was putting Vader in charge of the battle of Endor and not Thrawn.
Tecnically, It was Admiral Piet who commanded the battle of Endor. Vader was dueling Luke in the meantime.
ITS GOTTA BE then they acctually might be able to shoot some rebels rather thanmissin them by feet every time

Hmmm...... Shooters. I really liked BF2, and Jedi academy is fun. Although TFU is, well, IDK what to think of TFU.
Ooops, I said "likED" bf2. I still like and PLAY bf2. lol.
Shooters were my first choice I enjoy RPG's a lot as well. Space and RTS games I tend to not play as much, but EaW was pretty fun.
I chose RPGs. The KotOR series was and is amazing. I also like Star Wars shooters. Jedi Knight: JO and Academy are the best. Personally I like Jedi Academy the most out of all of the Star Wars games because of its engine and what content you can add to it. My 2nd favorite is K1.
huh...BFII and RC vs. EaW and FoC...
wait...is lego star wars a shooter? lol
well, i vote for shooters because imo BFII and RC are more intense and fun than EaW
I love Jedi Knight. Reminds me a ton of Half Life (gameplay wise, of course plots are completely differnt, and there is a lack of giant monsters that chase you around with giant flame thrower, and you aren't a scientist. Okay really they are nothing alike, but I thought of Half Life when I played JK). Battlefront II is great as well. I wasn't much of a fan of Kotor, but thats just me.
And did I mention that there is no crowbar wielding scientists in Jedi Knights either? Just kidding.
I tend to like Empire at war the most. But if there were no mods for it, I would leave it for sure. Kotor was awesome. The storyline was pretty deep. Maybe its just me but I thought kotor 2s story was better and deeper then the first. JK3 was also pretty fun. I like the vast amount of mods. And to be honest, vanilla version wise, I thought BF2 was weak. Without mods it would be a dead game. And if you compare it to the game that inspired it(battlefield franchise) it wasn't that great. Since they were released in the same year I'll compare battlefront 2 to battlefield 2.
Battlefront 2
-no reloding animations
-no multiplayer unlocks and ranks
-small maps
-lack of air vehicles on land maps like BF1
-no prone
-no squad combat
Battlefield 2
-individual reloading animations for each gun
-multiplayer unlocks and a multiplayer ranking system
-BIG MAPS(I mean BIG)
-prone
-commander and squad system(commander can call down vehicle drops and artillery strikes)
-BIG maps(I mean big)
I prefer the shooters, RTS and Action Star Wars games, but this is only because i haven't played the RGP games, or much of the X-wing and Tie-Fighter series
Star Wars BATTLEFRONT 2!!!! ALL THE BLOODY WAY!!! ESPECIALY WITH THE AWSOMENESS OF MODS!!!!! TFU, TOO ALL THE BLOODY WAY!!!! ESPECIALY THE WII VERSION!!! YOU USE WII REMOTES FOR AWSOMNESS FORCE POWERS!!!! EXTREME PWNAGE ON BOTH BLOODY GAMES!!!!!!!!!
Well, I've only ever played BF1, 2 and the original Lego Star Wars so I don't have a hard decision... BF PWNS LEGO SW!!!
Well, Yes, BF2 could have been so much better, but thank goodness we have good mods. *Thinks about the conversion pack and dark times II*
Lets just hope we can actually get a good FPS star wars game soon.
I personally I love all types of Star Wars games, as long as they're from 2004 or back. Star Wars Battlefront 2 is an exception.
Median you suddenly turning British on us?
SWG All The Way
Hey, don't diss!
Shooters like Batltefront
Oh god! more english people....I LOVE ENGLISH PEOPLE!!!!!
Anakin i dont know what you mean be that 9i dont want to).
TFU. did you guys know about TFU2? it looks
Its just that here in America, Chicks find British accents attractive. So one can develop the theory that anakin is feminine(lol joking).
OR AN I??????
Grrr am not an!
I like RPG/Shooters as long as they are not MMO's. I hate how everything seems to be going online recently.
if it weren't for mods, I would just pick Knights of the Old Republic (1) without doubt, I think everyone here that has played it (and completed the story) knows what I'm talking about. Great story, great characters, more than just shooting.
And with mods, I think I'd go for Empire at war.
I don't know if you guys have been tracking a few EaW mods, but some are getting so good, you're starting to feel like you are in some movie you control yourself. Grahpics on all other games (exept TFU witch I haven't played) tent to be...outdated.
Yeah to come to think of it I agree with #13.
hard one for me...
Shooters are pretty awesome, especially the Jedi knight series and of course, Bf.
I mod EAW, and that is a very worthy game. However, the most SW fun I have had is KotOR 2, randomly killing civilians 
Shooters no question.
@16 sorry mate didn't mean to upset your trousers
While I'm not english, I find the british accent cooler than the american one, in my POV.
Its not an opinion, its a fact.
I prefer Space sims and I think we need a new X-Wing game instead of TFU2.
I would like something that combines the action of games like RC and battlefront with the strategy of EAW. I wanna be able to see the field, issue commands, then take control of the ordinary soldiers and shoot the enemy myself. I think there was a game like that called raven squad or something, but i've never played that, so I could be wrong.
Yeah, RC was amazing, and BF2 was also. Both games need to be moved onto the next-gen.
Galactic Battlegrounds was a pure classic
for that, i still play it 4 years later
@#10 Less of the shouting, please. Use your indoor voice
I like them all really, but RPGs are the best to be honest.
Don't get your underwear (correct?) in a tangle.
P.S. This poll is a month old. So are the "Files of the Week".
To be fair, go on Kotor files and the one thats most popular is Kotor, go to EaW files and the one thats most popular is Eaw. It would be better if they asked this from all of filefront.
Voted 'Other' and that would be for any and all Star Wars games not one or the other.
@36 - American's call trousers, "pants" I believe.
On topic: Battlefront is my first choice but I also really like space sims, particularly the Rogue Squadron series on the gamecube. I actually haven't found anything as good since.
I know that...
Huh? only half my comment went on! I was gonna say "...and so does he."
Sorry, I realise now he was joking.
*waits for new poll*
*me too*
Hmmm... I know several good polls, too bad I ain't staff...
Batltefront! thats y im here!
GO BATTLEFRONT 3!!!!!!!!!! (if it will ever come out). I like BF2 still though and it is great to play online with mods and all that. I also think that SWEAW/FOC is an amazing game with mods. This is a hard choice but I think I will go with Shooters just because I followed the BF series forever and to this day.
This poll is pointless, especially since the majority will... you guessed it be for Battlefront because... you guessed it we are on "Star Wars BATTLEFRONT Files"
It seems I'm a bit late to this, but I'll start off by correcting the people addressing underwear. The proper expression is, "Don't get your panties in a bunch." : D
Anyway, I think I have at least one of each category and I like them all so it's a moderately hard decision. But when it came down to it, I found TFU-style was the most fun with KotOR taking second place. I like being able to swing my own lightsaber and use over-the-top Force powers. Oh, I can't wait for TFU2.
Of course Bf2 gets the most votes cause this IS Star wars battlefront files. XD
I suggest a new poll, how about this; What's your favourite quote from the original trilogy 1. Will someone get this big walking carpet out of my way?
2. I've got a bad feeling about this 3. I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big bright blur. 4. This bounty hunter is my kind of scum: fearless and inventive. 5. Impressive. Most impressive. Obi-Wan has taught you well. You have controlled your fear. Now, release your anger. Only your hatred can destroy me. 6. If I told you half the things I've heard about this Jabba the Hutt, you'd probably short circuit 7. Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking Nerf herder. 8. Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1. 9. Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper? 10. You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought.
I'll say 1.
I like every Star Wars Game...
Although I didn't play all of them
It is just so fascinating universe that star wars, though I would want more of this Old republic on sith side and Imperial Remnant stuff.

Some of you have been very diligent in making sure to inform me that there were particular issues with the site that I needed to correct, and I'd like to answer those as well as head off any of these future e-mails/posts/etc.

Despite what you may believe, I (and the other site staff) do not have complete power over the site! We have a persistent tech team from Break working on our backend to not only update it but resolve issues with our old system, and many of these things are being worked on right now. These are not things within the site staff's power, so save your keyboard! - Don't worry about typing comments or e-mails regarding these issues for us to see, because we're waiting just like you.
We do have good news, though! Smaller issues are steadily being fixed, and you may notice that the picture of the month is back in working order (this actually represented two separate issues, rendering of site documents and rendering of our "left menu"). Enjoy this, and please know that everyone is hard at work maintaining the site you frequent.

I hear the super one a lot. Wasn't sure what they were saying until now though.
Yeah! 'Frellin' heck, it's a Super!' is the only one I've heard.
wow, you do not want to know what "Frellin" means... trust me.
I've only heard the one about the SBD...
Hmmm never heard the Grievous one yet.
I hear the Sbd one a lot, except I'm pretty sure it's "Run like heck..."
Oh wow, they have a Farscape reference in the game?
Frell = f*ck in the Farscape universe.
i have heard the super and the emperor
what about when stormtroopers whistle darth vader's theme
That was last poll
i dunno abt any of these!!!!
where can i find them???
I've heard the jango one a couple of times, the SBD one nearly every match, but none of the others.
Hey, a friend of mine told me that when a b1 droid shoots a few clones, it begins to laugh wickedly... Is this true?
I heard the whistling once. I thought I was going a little nuts until now. I guys I am sane after all! I heard the emperor, I heard the super, I heard the jango brought his head, but the rst is news to me.
Ive heard the Emporer one on the Death Star, SBD many tinmes, The Maul one, and Jango; as for the rest... I need to play some more...
and why wasn't "Republic meatbags control the flag" on there?
I hear the SBD one a lot, but never the others.
@15
Well, the Rebuplic aren't gonna call themselves meatbags, are they?
I've only heard the SBD one.. didn't think that was an "easter-egg"...
Anyone heard one of these?
Boba Fett? Cripes, that kid grew up faster than we did!
Shoot a gungan and watch 'em flop!
Yousa goin' down!
Everyone fire on the wheeezing guy!
Watch your fire, you stupid clone!
AT-ST's? I thought those were against the rules!
For the Empire:
Do we have to kill Secura? I was hoping to get her holonumber...
Mace Windu? Now THERE'S a complicated man...
Go for the pointy head!
Yoda? They're not paying us enough for this...
Aim for the walking carpet!
For CIS:
Bite my shiny metal a-BOOM!
Daisy, daaaaaaisyyyy...
And for the Rebels:
Can I borrow some of your Midichlorians?
throw an ewok at 'em!
Pile on the old guy!
It' Boba Fett! Aim for his jet pack! He hates that!
Everyone go after the guy with the cape!
I'm taking you down, Plastic Boy!!
uhh, thats what the CIS says....

I've never heard any of these, since the PS2 version of the game doesn't enable the AI to use heroes.
I haven't heard the "Kenobi" one, the "Idea" one, or the "Solo" one. But I did heard the other three. Oh, I love the Whistle theme one! However, those appeare very rear... Why?
My very favorite it '"Join the Empire' they said, 'see the galaxy,' Riiiiight." I just love that saying!
How do you make the stormies say these lines, anyways?
My fav is the jawa one but since that's not here I'll pick the Leia. That one's pretty funny ^^.
'Join the empire' they said. 'See the galaxy.' Riiiiight. ¬_¬
what are these?
What about "F******ck"? At least I think that's what they're saying.
Ah, yeah! I've heard that too! Although, it sounds more like "Heck!" rather than... You get the idea...
i've never heard these before maybe the imperial march whistle
Iv never heard a single one
Why!!!!!
Play more singleplayer and you might hear some .
I can only get them to say No body said anything about fighting sky walker! one when i play as luke on the deathstar. any pointers?
Makes me wish I had BF2...
That's "Frak," and it's not particularly uncommon as a VO. All of these have a very low proportional chance of being heard.
These are only heard when the AI is able to use Heroes. The PS2 version which I have does not have this option.
Still, the ones I do hear are pretty funny.
Rebel - Get your ass in gear and get moving!
Well, I think I never heard one of these, but instead I heard something like:
"Boba Fett! Shoot his jetpack, he hates that!" (Rebel Sharpshooter)
Don't forget...
"Boba Fett! Aim for his jetpack! He hates that!"
you left out the funny one about jango fett.
"hey its jango, and he's brought his head this time" (spoken by clones on kamino reffering to ep2 where he gets decapitated)
(sorry for oduble post) but ive heard ALL of these in the PS2 version and no, you dont have to have AI heroes to have the VO's go off. i dont know what you guys are talking about when you say that.
General Grievous: [after slicing up many troopers during the battle] I could do this with two... no, THREE hands behind my back!
Republic Infantry: Darth Maul? What's he going to do, bleed on us?
Republic Infantry: [Upon seeing Boba Fett] "Boba Fett? Will you sign my helmet?"
You guys lost me. What's a VO?
my fav is the jango one but thats not here so i guess its see the galaxy, riiiight
havnt heard the stormie ones but ive heard alot of the rebel ones
-rebel after killing stormie "rebel scum that"
You can have AI Heroes? I haven't heard any of the ones mentioned in the poll.
i also love the plastic boy comments by the rebels. EAT THAT PLASTIC BOY
I like "Join the empire the say. See the galaxie they said. Riiiiight.
I've heard the "Fighting skywalker one" a lot.
Seems I was wrong, I DID hear some of them, I just didn't remember.
I've heard one or two of these before, but like you said, they are very rare. One of my favorites is (Imperial Officer) "Jawa! Fry 'em!" or (Rebel)(after witnessing a headshot) "Just like shootin' womp rats, eh kid?"
Jediboy
Voiceovers by themselves aren't rare - the two you posted above have the same appearance rate as any other voiceover. There are a few voiceovers per team that are particularly rare, most of which relate to heroes. All the "rare" voiceovers are somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 times less likely to appear than any single other voiceover. For example, here are the voiceovers for Imperial troops when they see Luke Skywalker:
-Get skywalker!
-Attack positions! Skywalker!
-Everyone on Skywalker!
-It's Skywalker! Watch that blade!
-It's Skywalker! Fall back!
-Skywalker? No one said anything about fighting Skywalker! I'm out of here.
Each of the first five voiceovers has about a 20% chance - each - of being heard any time you get a Skywalker-related Imperial VO. The last voiceover (which is the same one listed in the poll) has just under a 1% chance of being heard any time you get a Skywalker-related VO.
The non-hero related infantry ones are even rarer (whistled theme and "join the galaxy..." ) - they have about a 0.3% chance of being heard any time you hear a generic Imperial VO (although those are more frequent than hero-specific VOs).
I like the han shooting first one best, followed closely by "join the empire"
I've heard all but the Kenobi one, and I've heard the skywalker one a lot---seems particularly common on Bespin: Escape, probably due to a higher-than-normal unit count.
Hey, a friend of mine told me that when a b1 droid shoots a few clones, it begins to laugh wickedly... Is this true?
I luv it, i heard only 2 and they are not on this list
Both were on Endor when I played as Han Solo i heared
"Rebel Scum This!" and "It's chicken walker! Hide! "

I'd shoot myself first! Only Boba Fett can get out of the Sarlacc! Not Samus, not even Cheify would!
How come this poll took some time to appear?
well^^ boba fett was the only one with a jetpack, so he is the only one who can escape.... if you have a jetpack, you can escape too^^. and why shot myself? the only desaster in this life is dying a very slowly dead....could it be worser?^^
Median, you do realize Boba was a clone right? /snarky
I'd pick a partner (not that kind you filthy minded brutes!). Someone with whom I could converse whilst my consciousness and intellect are being slowly absorbed by the Sarlacc.
I am totaly aware. He's the only clone I actualy love!
Woah, Tough choice. How about a partner.
#4: "I'd pick a partner (not that kind you filthy minded brutes!)."
LOL good line.
Personally, all I'd want for a partner is someone who can help me escape. But since that is unlikely (onless the partner is Boba Fett or a hutt) I'd pick the blaster pistol. As the old line goes: "Save the last bullet for yourself."
"Save the last bullet for yourself."
how pesimistic^^
what´s about a girl for the last nice hours?^^
well. is there an asshole of the sarlac??
whats´about that?
(please don´t think that i´m serious, but it could be funny^^)
hmmmmm a really tough choice.....though i'd probably die of hunger...or sufficate before i'm fully digested.....so no pistol, i'd pick a parnter (Sarcasmim: yes! its the kind your thinking of!JK) so i could talk for a day, THEN sufficate and THEN be digested for 1000 years.(thats would kinda be good for the sarlacc cause you would only get hungry once 1000 years!)
Firstly, @#4. I always considered Boba to be another Mandalorian, not some clone of Jango. #1 on the list that bothers me about Lucas' changes to the Original Trilogy
is DEFINATELY Boba's Voice change. Look it up, there's a video on the net showing the difference, it's pretty shocking.
Spoilers:
It's tough, since Boba had the first three at certain points of his escape, and we may only have one, I chose a blaster pistol. I would probably try shooting Susejo then seeing what happened, in the end suicide if nothing else.
I would want a jet pack, with the hopes I could somehow make it explode, killing myself and giving the sarlacc something to remember his most recent meal by!! If i couldn't detonate the jet pack I would want a blaster pistol so I could yet again give the sarlacc something to remember his most recent meal by!! After filling the Sarlacc's stomach with blaster bolts I would then shoot myself and rob the Sarlacc of the privilege (yes, privilege) of absorbing my consciousness and intellect!
Meh, I'd probably shoot myself with the pistol.
I'd shoot myself too. I really don't want to have that kind of fate. I mean, having a partner, okay... maybe he/she's gonna make you company during the next 1000 years. Having a damaged (beyond repair) rocket pack, WHAT'S THAT GOING TO HELP YOU FOR IF IT'S DESTROYED!? Having a holonovel, it's gonna be destroyed before you. Having a good spice rube, what the frigate is that?
I'd choose the pistol. At least I'd try to escape, then if my ammo runs low before I could escape, then I'd aim at my head, and pull the trigger... only to realize that I'd drained all of my ammo on trying to escape. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
ok. this is how it could go bad^^
but i see that nearly all of you would commit suicide.... well... have a nice futur if your blaster ammo is empty, if you get it (remember, they ask what you want to have, a blaster could mean only a blaster...)(ok, i see how your answers have an impact on my ones...^^, please don´t be as negative as those above...)^^
Look for a uvula or similar organ and shoot your way out.
They should have had a choice that said "map of organs in sarlaac" funny question.
IT have a blaster pistol and I'd shot the Sarlacc to make it puke me out. Zorba the Hutt was puked out by the Sarlaac.
Ya, but I'm pretty sure that was because the Sarlacc didn't find Zorba tasteful, and who's to blame it? Would you want to have to digest a giant hulking stinking putrid mass of hutt flesh and fat? Ya, neither would I...
Can you choose your partner? What if the "partner" was dead and he had a fully working jetpack!
I wouldn't even get in a situation like this, but if I was, a gun, so I could shoot at the sarlacc so I could make it angry.
"Can you choose your partner? What if the "partner" was dead and he had a fully working jetpack!"
But what if he was NOT dead? Then that blaster pistol might come in handy!
Jetpacks aren't in the poll, people. Give it up.
Blaster. its the only one you can kill someone with preferably yourself.
or you blast away at the sides giving the blasted thing a stomach ache!;
Seems like you people love suicide.
if i gotta be digested in a sarlacc someones gotta come with me hahahaha
duh. i think its obvious. a blaster pistol. you could blast your way out.
If you think about it... never mind, you die no matter what...
Of courece, I mean, I rather shoot myself instead of being digested over 1000 years! It's virtualy impossible to escape the sarlacc pit! Only Boba Fett can escape it, and look at the state he was in after escaping!
Well, it's not on the list, but I'd take a vuvuzela, and then proceed to annoy the Sarlacc so much that he can't stand to have me around, so he politely picks me up with one of his tentacles, places me outside of the pit, and hands me a note to never come around again. Ever.
Its not on the list, but I would bring a Nuke. give the sarlacc something to remember me by.
Voted for the spice rub myself.
Blaster pistol to bust a cap!!!
Blasterpistol so...... Ok even i would take it i'm gone...
whats a holovonel or wateva
blaster gun to piss of the sarralack
Come on! A pistol won't do anything, so have some fun with a good holonovel!
I would take a bunch of holonovels that could be configured into a blaster rifle. So, I would sit around and read a while then blast my way out.
well considering most people of the star wars universe carry a blaster then i would probably choose a partner as they would likely have a blaster.
Yeah blaster, I'd probably start shooting randomly.
I never knew suicide was so popular
Well, would you rather be slowly and painfully dissolved over the course of a thousand years, and have your consciousness drained from you at the same time, or go out with a bang?
ide pick a blaster pistol. what u coudl do is shoot the insides of the sarlacc and make it even though u woudl be covered in sarlacc barf (eww) still u woudl live, and if that didnt work, just hope u didnt use them all as like some of the coments above say: save one for yourself
You know, the way Boba got out is discussed in the Bounty Hunter series in the Expanded Universe, that might offer a way.
A partner. Misery loves company, after all.
A blaser pistol because you can try to kill this monster.
