ITT, people (or I guess a single person), posts completely dishonest nonsense.

Stormtrooper Armor, Plastoid, can be defeated by STONE AGE XENOS. SPEARS penetrated plastoid for chrissake, and the Ewoks were able to bludgeon Stormtroopers to death with rocks. That won't work on Carapace Armor worn by Veteran Guardsmen, let alone Sisters Power Armor which would make a Gendarme of France at the height of medieval plate armor fume in envy at something capable of walking off shots from 20mm autocannons.

Scenario 1: 1 Assault Marine vs. 1 of Emperor Palpatine's Guards

The Royal Guard lacks weapons capable of posing a threat to power armor besides possibly vibroblades. Stomp in the favor of the Astartes, a fair fight would be the force sensitive guys who tote lightsabers and wear black armor from the Force Unleashed.

Scenario 2: 1 Astartes Tactical Demi-Squad (5-man) vs. 1 Squad of Clone Commandos

Clone Commandos also lack weapons that will pose a threat to power armor, will get shredded pretty easily. Clone Commandos are basically just Veteran Guardsmen or Scions, only with worse weapons.

Scenario 3: 1 Astartes Assault Squad vs. 10 Emperor's Guards

Emperor's Guard murdered again.

Scenario 4: 1 Librarian vs. 1 Jedi Knight

Jedi Knights rarely use force powers offensively and even then nobody in Star Wars uses them so offensively that it would break their ratings. People get slapped around or crushed, but they don't get melted into slag or torn drawn and quartered telekinetically like psykers do.

Scenario 5: 1 Chief Librarian vs. 1 Jedi Master

Depends on the Jedi Master and the Librarian, and what sources we're using. Mace Windu from The Clone Wars 2d show by the same guy behind Samurai Jack would kill some Chief Librarians, but with some of the named Chief Librarians it will swing in the other direction.

Scenario 6: Full-strength Genesis Space Marine Chapter versus 501st Clone Legion

A Space Marine Chapter should curbstomp what is basically an Imperial Guard regiment with gakky vehicles. Stuff like the AT-TE make the Leman Russ look like a competent design.

Scenario 7: Imperial Guard (40k) vs. Imperial Army (SW)

Whoever shoots first and actually hits, but depending on the Guard Regiment this can swing either way. Because there's Guard Regiments that run around butt naked, and Guard Regiments that run around wearing plasteel and wielding artificer lasguns.

Scenario 8: Imperial Sector Group (SW) vs. Sector Battlefleet (40k)

Imperial Battle Group should get murdered. Star Wars ships fight at visual ranges at tens of kilometers, 40K fights at hundreds of thousands.

Scenario 9: Imperium of Man versus Galactic Empire

The Galactic Empire doesn't even have enough ships to make a dent. The Imperial Fleet at its height only had 25,000 Star Destroyers. Unless they drastically ramp up their fleet production, they wouldn't have a prayer.

Scenario 10: All Factions in Empire-era Star Wars versus all factions in 40k

Star Wars suffers the fate as a PDF Response. Orks alone already out number and probably outgun the entire Galactic Empire. Then you're adding the Necrons, whose ships can massacre entire Imperium fleets with a handful of ships along with inertialess drives, Chaos with infinite Daemonic Hordes and the ability to blow up stars, and the Tyranids. It would take a long time to kill/conquer an entire galaxy, but Star Wars is simply too small for the job.

Bonus Round: Jedi Master Yoda (in his Prime) vs. Magnus the Red (pre-Daemonhood)

Magnus can freeze time and kill Yoda with complete abandon. How do you think this would go down?
