Agreed.. Star Wars would be pretty screwed..

They could totally Death Star all the planets that the nids tried to land on to consume biomass, while the Jedi and Clones layed the smack down.

Obi Wan and Anakin managed to pwn an Acklay without their lightsabers, that thing is basically a Tyranid.

Really?

The time zone we're comparing is pre-Death Star for one thing, and an Acklay really, really, really(!) is nothing like a Tyranid. It's just a big spider-like creature that makes annoying noises. Tyranid organisms are far more complicated.

The diversity and adaptability of the Tyranid's is limitless - whatever the SW galaxy threw at them, it would adapt to counter. Any world Tyranid's invade even turns against its owners; the air becoming toxic and full of lethal spores; the plant life mutating and trying to kill its inhabitants.

Even Jedi would be easy targets - a single brood of Hormagaunts or one shot of a Barbed Strangler for instance could kill them instantly.

As for Clone Troopers and Droids.. they have virtually no counter to melee, an area in which most Tyranid's excel in and will reach.
