Star Trek vs. Star Wars (and a collection of memes)

Are you talking about the Sun Crusher from the Jedi Academy trilogy expanded universe novel or is there a "Sun Crusher" in 40K? I only know the basics of 40K.

In any event, if Disney is in charge, there never was a Sun Crusher but I always thought Star Wars Legends is more canon than the canon.

The Sun Crusher has about 24 torpedo. Unless the 40K lost the Sol System, I don't think the loss of 24 stars would make a huge difference. They lose entire planets fairly regularly.

While the Sun Crusher is nigh indestructible, it is a small ship with a single pilot, maybe a co-pilot. Hypothetically, once the 40K Imperigium loses umpteen ships fighting the Sun Crusher in an conventional way, they can size up the Sun Crusher and then attack the Achille's Heel. The pilot.

You hit the pilot with a psychic attack and it doesn't matter how invincible the Sun Crusher is. In fact, now the 40K Imperium can steal it.

 

That depends a lot on who kills the pilot.
A large portion of the imperium would never use the heretic weapon and would make sure no one will.

 

That is a problem with the 40K Empire of Man. They are often over zealous and shoot themselves in the foot.

I think Thrawn with the Sun Crusher would have decapitated the 40K Empire with a surgical strike on the Sol star.

That said, every other character in the Empire apart from Thrawn is not very smart. Without plot armor or destiny or railroad tracks or whatever you want to call it, Palpatine's grand plan in the prequel trilogy was very Rube Goldbergian or perhaps Wile E. Coyote-esque. It relied on every character holding the Idiot Ball.

Phantom Menace alone.

1) Amidala actually had a lot of proof of the Trade Federation's treachery. A ship full of witnesses, two of them were Jedi. The ship's log and recording. The holographic transmission of her advisor saying "the death toll is catastrophic."

The Republic could have shut things down right there. It made no sense that they didn't.

2) The Jedi's archenemies the Sith reemerged after centuries. They could have easily sent ten Jedi and stomped Darth Maul into the ground.

3) If Qui-Gon lived, Anakin would not have fallen to the Dark Side because Qui Gon would have been his mentor. Even if Qui Gon died, If Anakin was made the padawan of Mace Windu, Anakin would not have fallen to the Dark Side. Almost anyone would have been better than Obi Wan. He needed a father figure, not a surrogate big brother.

4) If Amadala bought Zmi Skywalker's freedom and moved her to Naboo, Anakin would not have fallen to the Dark Side.

5) If the Jedi were more open about their members having families, Padme wouldn't have died and Anakin would not have fallen to the Dark Side.

6) If Dooku spilled the beans sooner, Palpatine's machinations would unravel. If some of the Trade Federation leaders turned stool pigeon, Palpatine's machinations would unravel. If Mace Windu brought a live streaming camera with him when he confronted Palpatine, Palpatine's machinations would have unraveled.

That's just the tip of the ice berg.


The 40K Empire is a little too xenophobic but they are pragmatic and Palpatine is not. Even if Thrawn decapitated the Empire of Man, this would open the flood gates for the Chaos Space Marines, Daemons, Dark Elder, Orks, and Tyranids to invade en masse and now it's Thrawn's problem.

But we are probably entering Superman versus Goku levels of Internet craziness right now. For the record, I think Superman would quickly incapacitate Goku. Then Goku's friends would desperately hold off Superman while Goku heals and comes back even stronger than ever before and then he would beat Superman.

Saitama would beat either of them. I want to see him beat up Goku and use the dragon balls to either wish for a better hero name or wish for hair.

Unfortunately, I'm guessing King would end up getting the dragon ball's wish.

 

Best crossover ever.

 

But funny memes are funny!
