Who would win the battle of the Blockbusters?!

Republic Jedis or Matrix Regulators?

Hmm... Agents are only any good on home ground, aren't they? So Jedi win the all-around award.

But in the Matrix Agents can just blatantly cheat. Being effectively unkillable is a big plus too...

I say Jedi all the way!

But what about jedis on the regulators home court?

Tough call.

Jedis rule

Yes but the Regulators see things slower than what they appear.

I wouldn't know as I have not seen Matrix.

Are you serious? Well watch it before you see the matrix reloaded. You can buy it on dvd for like 6 bucks or somthin. At walmart.

Matrix on dvd is like 15 bucks, not 6.

duh cookies!

i thought you said 6 bucks. But i dont know i have bad memory.

All right guys, I will look into it. I may use a Neo avatar but that doesn't mean I am as informed of the Matrix as others seem to be.

celtic pride was 6 bucks.

Is that another one I should see?

if you like basketball. But this has nothing to do with what we were talking about.

Touche. The student learns from his master.

YEP!

It can happen. In fact it just did!

it probably will again.

Yes to keep things fairly on topic I say the jedi would beat the Matrix dudes easily. I expect to hear a lot of rebuttals though.......

I agree, i think the jedi would win with ease.

i think it just depends on the turf. As said before.

Yeah, I guess it would be a pretty good battle.

of course thats why its a good post.

hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm................i choose choice C, the evil barney from another dimension wearing a flying weasle monkey's underpants rigged with high caliber explosives.

What does a flying barney have to do with a fight between jedi knights and matrix regulators?

I think he was making fun of us.

Is that true Tevesh? Are you making fun of us?

haha...no..just being as completely random as i possibly could.

depending on the turf, if the jedi hack into the matrix, well then the agents have the upper ground, because does the force exist in within the matrix? Would a jedi be able to stretch out with the force and manipulate objects and such? I really don't know. Plus the fact that supposedly agent smith learned to transfer himself into a people who hack into the matrix ...that means that agent smith would be able to take over the jedi's bodies.

ok anothing thing you gotta conisider, the light sabers can deflect blaster bolt no problem, but what about solid projectiles? Granted, they are really good at melting things, a bullet is traveling pretty damn fast. In the split second that the bullet passes though the saber, it has to be hot enough to vaporize the bullet, not liquify because then you have a molten hot piece of lead coming at your face.

Agents can't really fight outside of the matrix now can they? so that would not make too much sense, and the jedi's own everything out there anyway.

with the 3 years of chem i've taken, i can calculate how hot the saber has to be...but for right now, i gotta get goin i'll put it up if you guys want in a day or two

could be wrong, but didn't a source once said a sabre is not hot at all?

Fascinating yet again.

I try my best

I see more advantage in being a Jedi Knight than a Matrix Regulator though.

Obviously trying to decode the physics of a fantasy object like a sabre is always a fruitless task. But from what we see in the films they are not hot- anything that cuts through blast doors with sheer heat would set fire to the clothes of those wielding it and melt the ice nearby on Hoth in quite a large radius. So techy SW fans like to assume that the fact that sabres cause objects to melt is not directly heat based- in the same way microwaves don't cook simply by being hot.

hhmm.....microwaves work on the basis of vibrating water molecules. the more vibration of the molecules that occurs, the warmer an object becomes. so in that case, is a lightsaber a sort of a very fine, percise tuning fork?

and would lightsabers be able to stop or deflect solid projectiles?

well if its not hot than why dont people bleed when their arm gets chopped off. Doesnt fire crispen the wound so no blood comes out?

well, they cartarize (sp?) because it makes the wound so hot that it doesn't bleed. my tuning fork theory, as it shall from now on be called, vibrates the flesh so excessivly that it heats it up and slices through, the heat caused by the vibration cartarizes.

but of course i'm probably completely wrong, i'm theorizing about a weapon a long time ago in a galaxy far far away

that sounds like the working of a vibro-axe actually

hmmmmmm...... I-I guess that could be right.

They cauterise because they burn. The point is that they do not burn by being HOT, but by other means.

so these regulators....are they from the first or 2nd movie?

and how does something burn by other means? i know coldness can burn.

The regulators are the movie, without the regulators there would be no movie.

Well, as we said microwaves burn without heat. It's just a matter of energy transfer. If you want to be really anal about it go to Bob Brown's Star Wars site. he has more detail and theories about sabres than you can possibly imagine, with all interpretations taken from canon sources.

haha! thanks ush!

The Jedi have the necessary powers of the mind in order to defeat the agents so I would definitely say the Jedi. (Is the plural of Jedi, Jedi or Jedis?)

one Jedi, two Jedi

in my opinion the battle would have to be in the Matrix since the Agents dont live outside the Matrix and if so i dont think theres gonna be any force around the jedi plus the Agents are kinda immortal in the Matrix, so if it were inside the Matrix i would have t say Agents all the way, outside of the matrix, Jedi no contest.

ah, good point darth vicious, but if you've seen matrix reloaded you know now that not all agents are confined to the matrix

This is becoming one of those silly anal fanboy debates that makes everyone look really sad.

Cool!

Ahem, the Force is EVERYWHERE, remember? Even so, Agents are more powerful on home ground than the Jedi are anywhere.

Well since the Matrix regulators occupy the same role as the Sith do in Star Wars (evil opponents with special powers), then I'd say the Matrix dudes would have the edge... especially now that the first two episodes of Star Wars have shown that the Jedi are far from invincible.

Tevesh we cant be certain that all the agents arent confined to the Matrix since we havent seen Revolutions, whos to say that the "real world' is another layer of the Matrix also i was thinking since the Jedi already have skill and power outside of the Matrix whos to say those powers wont get amplified in the Matrix after all the Matrix is all about mind power and their mind powers are already developed!

the real world can't be a part of the matrix. the movie is about the truth and that is not the truth

After seeing the Matrix Reloaded, i have to say the regulators would beat the jedi.

I'd say they'd go on fighting and that neither would win. If I had to choose I'd say the Matrix regulators would win.

Once again as i said somewhere on one of the first pages we are in the matrix,so, i think the Regulators would win. They would kill with the ONE.

tRUE mATRIX ALL THE WAY, WERE THEY CALLED REGULATORS IN THE MOVIE OR DID U GUYS MADE IT UP? CANT REMEMBER

Im not sure...? I think they might of been called "Rebels" in Reloaded..?
HUMF! Isn't that ironic.

Yeah they're the rebels, ive never heard them called the regulators in the movies, ive just read it on here.

I myself like regulators better?!?!

if the regulators play a parallel role to the sith, don't the hackers i.e. Morpheus, Trinity, Niobe, Ghost....etc. play a similar role to the Jedi?

The first movie showed that The Agents were far better than any of the hackers, except for Neo. So i'd have to say Regulators

Well said.... and i'll agree.

Makes a lot of sense to me Tevesh and I agree with my young friend here as well.

This would make a freaked out movie.

But that will never happen.

That would be bad!

Yeah it would wouldnt it. It could be possible to make it.?

It would be one heck of a crossover film!

It would be the best for box office yet.

A mixture of SW and Matrix. WWWWoooohhhoooo that would sale tickets real easy.

is ther a doubt????

I think that might beat the box office record!
