Hey revan was a military genius, sure the republic may be more than 4000 years before the vong came and other than revan there wasnt exactly a lot of extremely poweful jedi at there disposal.... im not helping my point am i
If revan gets to keep his star forge then u can give the republic a slight hope of winning. And if this republic gets to have the likes of all the sith that were around that time too even though they dont file under the republic. And maybe a little mandalorian back up.
Any chance that you know where I can find the oldest "please use good grammar" (yes I know...) thread? I know there was one in the oldest few pages of the VS forum, but I just can't find it anymore. That thread makes me want to quote Kreia Some of them were really, really petty.
No. No you are not. You have only highlighted the aforementioned technological disparity between eras. Vong win.
Why would the Republic help the Sith? There is no history of them working together.
Except that these people never worked together. It would be like saying 'All of the Jedi that ever lived during the 2000 year reign of the New Republic get to fight'. Sion, Kreia and Nihilus would probably attack the Republic, actually helping the Vong. The Mandalorians just got defeated, and are largely scattered. Revan era democracy would be annihilated by the Vong.
i still like my theory that Revan sensed the onslaught of the Vong, (because of the coralskipper that Mandalore mentions) and that is why he went into the unknown region. Doesn't it say somewhere that the Chiss had fought the Vong for years before they ever showed up in New Republic space, or something like that?
I never understood how the Vong reportedly spent millenia in the void between galaxies, yet still had that one ship 4000 years before their invasion that could make the trip no problem.

well, its a species large invasion fleet. If they truly spent millenia (plural) in transit, then maybe it would make sense to have a scout ship 4000 years in advance. Maybe the Star Wars galaxy wasn't the only one they were checking out.
oh, and sidious knew they were coming, right? that was why the massive fleet build-ups and his attempt to bring the entire galaxy under complete control in such a small time. I read all this (and the Chiss thing) so long ago i can't remember the source, if anyone can remind me.
I'm wondering though, if the Vong actually took thousands of years to travel between the galaxies or could they come and go between them rather quickly. If it's the former, then the existence of a Vong ship that could travel that fast while none other can is rather absurd. Likewise as unbelievable is a Vong pilot with a long enough lifespan to make the journey there (and back, presumably).

thats true, but do we know the life-span of a Vong? Or, the skipper could from a smaller ship that left whatever galaxy they came from.... i'm thinking 6000 years before they began their invasion. It would make sense, since the vong were a warring species, it was their way of life, how they pleased the gods. They would constantly be looking for new places to conquer. So say that skipper was the first one to find intelligent life in the galaxy, one of many many galaxies they were checking, and returned to tell the vong they had found something to conquer? 2000 years to get to our galaxy, 2000 years to get back, 2000 years for the Vong to arrive.
Sadly. Even the quintillions of droids wouldn't do it. The Clone Wars Movie/Series cemented them as the single dumbest creations in the mythos. Yes more than Jar Jar.
And yeah, the idea of a ship (just a [semi-sentient]ship, no pilot) scouting things out and moving around in suspended animation is feasible. Canderous did say it was encased in frozen methane.

i've always thought that what revan went to look for,the true sith, who "distort the force with their prescense" or something like that, sounded a lot like what the Vong do, being right there, but no one being able to sense them in the force.
I never quite understood that. The combined armed forces of US and China top that number and yet these clones are expected to defend an entire galaxy with quintillions of people?
