Made the Sarlacc burp.

What a douche.

Yeah, but I had a toy Boba Fett, and he could shoot plastic missiles and had expanding machine-gun wings.

So he's cool.

You're right the action figure was cool, I remember him sitting in my action figure case doing the same thing he did in the movie....nothing.

One great thing about the action figure though, at least Boba Fett was somebody that the Jawa action figures could pick on and make fun of.

Well he does say Maim, burn, kill- that's three words more than Boba Scat- er Fett.

Man- now I am torn- Do I risk this forum getting locked by drailing this thread into how much Boba Fett sucks- or Do I stay on track and try to fight 40k vs anything on a 40k forum---hahahah wow....what to do?
Ah- Hell with it- Boba Fett sucks and I will tell you why...The only thing he did that was remotely cool- was find the Millenium Falcon in the trash- apparently he was looking for some more flair for his armor-

How about flying? And having a cool helmet?

Those things are cool.

Stay on topic Dakkaites

Marine have jump packs and helmets.

Yeah I think there was someone else that had a helmet and flew---hmmm who wasit----Oh yeah! The Rocketter- You got me- I will admitt he is as cool as The Rocketter...man- ya got me...

I always imagined he was digging thru there looking for dinner like any other homeless bounty hunter.

Yeah this guy is his competiotion for best bounty hunter? No wonder he is held in such high reguard- this guy looks like something Han would work on the Falcon with.....HAHAHAH

NO no no no, thats not it, bring me the Hydro-Spanner.

Who the feth is The Rocketter???

This thread isn't about Boba Fett and Star Wars.

"Fraid' I don't know any crazywiki-Sir!"

Imagine- Boba Fett - but he is cooler- and get chicks...

IvanTih wrote:This thread isn't about Boba Fett and Star Wars.

No, its about Star Trek vs. 40k, but if the past nine pages are any indication....thats gay.

If you mean The Rocketeer (), then I agree, he's very cool.

This thread WAS about 40k vs Star Trek- it has been transformed- into Is Boba Fett overrated? The answer is yes. Now if you want to talk Jango- then I will listen- he was so bad- he got to use a flamer in H2H... not even Eldar get to cheese out like that....hahaha

As far as the old thread- there are a few people who believe that ST could handle the 40k universe because of their tech involved- but The main vote was in favor of 40K winning- through sheer numbers and because "In the grim darkness of the far future- There is only war!" So unless Commander Leonidas commands the 300 starships against the 40k universe's 8 billion ... I guess I will have to yield on the matter- I can't speak for everyone else... except haters of Boba Fett...Han was infinately cooler. Hell- Greedo did more...

this may give you an idea on religion(well the supreme power any way) versus st technology

Please I really don't want to start a thread on the ridiculousness that is religion- and lets just talk about something more believable- Star Wars, 40k, and Boba Fett...

Is there any chance that this thread can get back on topic?

Is there any chance it can then stay on topic?

Probably not, but please try!

Hahaha then I have to retire fom this topic...good bye.

What a cool website. Where else can you compare the size of BFG ships to the SDF-1, a klingon cruiser, and even godzilla?

That is awesome!

OK, Federation wins hands down on this ..... Since we all know the federation deals with Space/ time travel, IN so many star trek plots.... Red Matter Torpedo.... enough said.... I just got Done watching Star Trek ( the new movie).... To make a black hole out of a Drop of Red Matter..... OMFGoodness. Say good Terra, good bye Mars, good bye to any planet that doesnt bow down... All hale Kirk

To end that topic Star trek Vs Star wars... Red matter torpedo.... bye bye death star, good by ship yards at Kaut..... thats my opinion

In the end Richard Dean Anderson wins when Amanda Tapping spontaneously creates a doomsday device from five rubber bands, a paper clip two bendy straws, and the Eye of the Gods, imploding the whole space-time-thingy

And then there is a smokey sex scene where MacGuyver goes into the past and has sex with himself using nothing more than cling film, half a rubber band and a pine needle!

Err... huh? There weren't any red matter torpedoes in that movie. As for the red matter itself, that stuff was ridiculously unstable. Who'd want to fly around in a spaceship with something that could potentially be set off by engaging in battle and sucking your ship into a black hole? The only reason Nero got away with using the red matter willy nilly like he did was the fact that his ship was so much more powerful than everyone he was facing. That wouldn't be the case with any Starfleet ships up against Imperial ships, though. They won't be able to get anywhere near enough to destroy anything sensitive, as their ships just can't stand up to Imperial ships. Especially not Terra. The Imperial Fleet protecting Terra is probably enough to take down the entire Alpha Quadrant, by itself. Same goes for Star Wars. Star Destroyers are immensely more powerful than any Star Trek ship. Even if they did manage to successfully weaponize red matter, they'd never get to use it against an enemy who is vastly superior, otherwise (They'd never weaponize it, though. Let's get real, here. This is Star Trek. The Federation doesn't deal in solar system destroying doomsday weapons. And even if it were willing to create such a weapon, there's no indication that it's even possible for them to turn that into a functional weapon).

But yeah, on the subject, the Imperium takes it, easy. It's like asing who'd win in a fight. A Navy SEAL, or a midget. A slowed midget. A slowed midget who's blind in one eye, deaf, and has a peg leg. Really, that's how big the power discrepancy is. And yep, I've said as much on Star Trek forums despite also being a Star Trek fan. That's just the way the cookie crumbles. There is absolutely no way the Federation can possibly beat the Imperium. Not without some sort of ridiculous Deus Ex Machina. None whatsoever. Imperial ships are at least as powerful, if not moreso. The Imperium has vastly more ships than the Federation. They've got a lot more worlds than the Federation, giving it a larger industrial base. They most certainly have a larger military force than the Federation (And there's actually functions like one, unlike the Federation, who doesn't seem to have much in the way of heavy weaponry, artillery, ground vehicles, etc).

And to top it all off, Imperial warp travel is light years (figurative light years, not literal) faster than Federation warp technology. At maximum warp, it'd take the fastest Starfleet ship years to cross distances that the slowest Imperial ships can cross in days. The Imperium can literally strike anywhere and everywhere in the Federation, and Starfleet can't do a thing to stop them. Even if Starfleet knew they were coming, and had their fleets marshalled and ready to repel a strike, they wouldn't be able to stop Imperial ships from just ignoring their fleets and striking at all the unprotected worlds in the Federation, dropping billions of Imperial Guardsmen on each. And according to Ron Moore, the Federation has a fleet of about 30,000 ships. It's a rough estimate, but the Space Marines, alone, likely have around 2,500 Battle Barges and 8,000 Strike Cruisers. A little over 10,000 ships versus the Federation's 30,000, and that's one of the Imperium's smallest military branches. Can you imagine how many ships the Imperial Navy has? How much they vastly outnumber the Federation by? Gather up their entire fleet into one spot, it wouldn't matter, because the Imperium can play that numbers game and win every time.

But in this case they wouldn't have to, because Imperial ships are more powerful. A single Battle Barge can inflict far more damage on a planet than a fleet of 20 Star Trek ships outfitted for planetary bombardment in a similar span of time (as seen in a DS9 episode, when a combined Romulan/Cardassian fleet tried to take out the Founders homeworld). If one Battle Barge can outdo 20 ships, then God only knows what a Retribution Class Battleship can do to a fleet of Starfleet ships. Methinks a single one of them can do far more damage than the Borg did at Wolf 359.

That just about sums it up.

(BTW, lol, look who I'm quoting)



The Imperium is just too ruthless, and far too grimdark for the Federation to handle. The Federation wouldn't resrot to the methods the Imperium would, and even if they eventually did, it'd be too late.

So we have nine pages of this so far.....

Just to get it straight, we are comparing two visions of the future to see who would win. One based on a franchise centred around the idea that everyone is at war, and the other based around the franchise of the idea that everyone is basically good, and that all ills could be solved if we were prepared to discuss them around a table with a bottle of Romulan Ale?

Hmmmmm.

My opinion the borg would win. I don't care how big your ships are if one borg can subvert the entire system.
