Serious SW Dogfight

ROTJ Luke Skywalker and ROTS Anakin are in their respective rides (And X-Wing and a Jedi Starfighter).

However, they're being chased by crack crews in the Falcon (Han, Lando, Chewie and the Sullustan from ROTJ... whatever his name is.) and the Ebon Hawk (Atton, Carth, Revan and the Exile)

Can they survive?

No because the Falcon and Ebon Hawk are vastly superior craft, plus theres the han solo factor.

They get crushed.

The Jedi duo would get blasted up in like nine seconds. (I dunno where I got nine from)

Whole nine yards?

Both of those ships are freighters, not starfighters, and one is ancient in comparison to Anakin's and Luke's ships.

Anakin and Luke simply speed away in their faster, more maneuverable craft.

the falcon could probably do this alone but they might have alittle trouble with anakin.

*Shrugs* I unno. Maybe?

The Ebon Hawk would die, it's not that good of a ship compared to the Falcon or an X-wing. The Falcon would take them though, since it get some serious upgrades later on(NJO, DN).

Yes, but I doubt its subspace speed can compete with that of a starfighter's. The question was whether Anakin and Luke could survive, so if they run they can.

The falcon can outrun any ship in the galaxy, as said by Han himself.

That's hyperbole.

In hyperspace it can. Not in subspace.

They aren't in hyperspace though.

It actually isn't a hyperbole, Janus. The only ship that was faster(the Jabitha) was dead(it was Anakin's living ship).

Glentract owned you before I could get around to it..

That's exactly my point, Glentract. Luke and Anakin simply fly away in their faster ships, therefore they survive, therfore they win.

Glentract owned me? No, I was saying the MF isn't the fastest ship in the galaxy, as you suggested.

And glentract pointed out why it was.

Not really. The Falcon does have a tractor beam, allowing it to latch on to either ship. The Falcon is also almost as fast as either ship. It would definitely take one, both if it gets lucky.

Here's what SW.com has to say about Anakin's Starfighter.

The Clone Wars were a trying time for Anakin Skywalker, as he faced ceaseless warfare on scattered worlds while struggling to keep his marriage a secret, and chafing under the restrictions of the Jedi order. He found escape in his childhood love of flight, and in the simple joy of tinkering with machinery. The end result of these two passions was a heavily modified starfighter exclusive to the Chosen One.
Anakin's starfighter began as a standard Delta-7 Aethersprite that he extensively customized to suit his demanding tastes for speed and control. With four Taim & Bak laser cannons bracketing each wingtip and a proton torpedo launcher along the ship's dorsal centerline, the speedy combat vessel had greater firepower than the standard fighter. Anakin's fighter underwent numerous modifications in its lifetime, meaning that its performance varied depending on its latest features or what tricked-out power plant it sported.

Obi-Wan Kenobi was concerned that his Padawan was regarding this special project as a possession -- something frowned upon by the Jedi order. Jedi Master Saesee Tiin, a skilled starfighter pilot, encouraged the young man to keep pushing the fighter's limits, since he hoped to see the improvements pioneered by Skywalker integrated into the next generation of Jedi starfighter. Despite the Jedi mandate of severing all ties to his previous life, Anakin raised a few concerned eyebrows by including a paint scheme similar to the one used in his beloved Podracer.

Since the varied campaigns of the Clone Wars saw atmospheric combat as well as spaceflight, Anakin incorporated articulated stabilizer foils to assist in maneuverability. The main vectored thrusters included articulated mounts that allowed for greater aerial agility. Perhaps his boldest addition was a pair of TransGalMeg hyperdrive thrusters that gave his starfighter limited hyperspace capability.
