Yeah i was pleasantly surprised by the civil tone of this thread given that it usually brings out the worst in people. We've had a few starwars fanboys come into the thread but they are generally ignored because they talk nonsense and their points are easily countered. I know Red Nemesis was reluctant to make the thread but i'm glad he did. It's been fun so far.

Right on.
Realistically speaking, if a man can push someone with enough force to launch them 50 feet in the air, he should be able to snap a neck or something without difficulty. But alas, Jedi are idiots. Force users in general are idiots. Jango defeating five Jedi Knights in close quarters combat at the same time by himself is lunacy.
But, yeah. They're idiots.
I think most Star Wars fans don't know enough about Star Trek to care, or bother, I certainly don't. I poke around and correct arguments that are wrong about the Star Wars universe, but that's as far as I'm willing to go, personally.

shatner is an icon bigger and better than hamill or ford imo....though princess leia(in her day) I would have to dis on capn kirk for..hehe...although Hamill really has done alot besides movies...hes kewl wing commander the joker voice...I want to see him in that comedy with jay n silent bob I heard that was kewl but I havent seen it anyways Im sure the list goes on...he is the jedifuture dude..lol..but you cant dis on shatner...he wrote some excellent ST books besides everything else hes done...anyways Im rambling AGAIN...back to my drink..actually its nap time see ya in a few!
I'm not a huge fan of the original star trek either tbh. I like the films but not the series as much. As cheesy and fun as it can be it is also grimace inducingly cheap and nasty looking.
I know what you mean.... the films rule the series in many ways...
I mean, we all hate on STV:TFF, but is it as mentally crippling and insulting as "Spock's Brain"...??
But Blaxican should still remember.......................

Nothing comes close the Original Star Trek series. The cheesy set and corny lines are part of its charm and you must look at things in context. It was very revolutionary for the time. Other than STII WoK the movies sucked. Still better than TNG stuff by far. I must say out of all the offshoots, I think "Voyager" was the best.

I don't love any of OS movies except Wrath of Khan. Undiscovred Country is decent, though.
I did enjoy in varying degrees the TNG movies.
I preferred DS9 to Voyager, Janeway annoyed me. I could be biased though, she looks exactly like an ex-girlfriend (a total ****) of mine, just 20+ years older at the time.

I was watching Empire Strikes Back last night, and it's occurred to me that people are using the asteroid scene as a way to gauge the strength of the Imperial Star Destroyers. I.E., that they can't be all that strong because the bridge of one was destroyed by an asteroid.
Doesn't that seem a bit fallacious though, considering that we don't know how the Star Destroyer may have been getting pummeled by asteroids, or how fast they're moving. It stands to reason that if a Star Destroyer is pummeled by 100 foot asteroids moving at three hundred miles an hour for half an hour that's more than enough force to deplete a ship's shields, no? Admiral Piett stated that after the damage they'd sustained they wouldn't last very long either, so it's obvious that they'd been getting hammered for a very long time. It's not like the asteroid just one-shotted their shields.
