WTF?How, in the royal ****, was Darth Vader "outwitted" by Admiral Ackbar?
a.) Darth Vader was not the commanding officer at the Battle of Endor. That would have been... His Imperial Majesty, the Galactic Emperor, also known as Palpatine.
b.) Admiral Ackbar is a genius, you moron, on par with any of the Emperor's Grand Admirals.
c.) You have no damn point.
He kept the rebels on step ahead of Death Squadron for quite some time...
a.) That's insulting to one the most brilliant guys in star wars...
b.)On par with MOST of them. Thrawn is a definite exception.
c.)...that is just mean
I was refering to there usual method of fighting, Palpatine seems to use tactical advantages to a similar effect as Dooku while Vader and Marek use more of the sheer brute force approach.
Tactics would have an important role like it did on Mustafar(Vader outwitted by Kenobi, who was very good at smart) he himself stated (Although this was before his fall) he preferred a more direct approach, Kenobi commented that was an understatement.

Wow, I have touched a nerve of the mighty Gideon.
My patience isn't something that is particularly weak. I can have disagreements with individuals who make stupid points. I draw the line at two exceptions: stupid people who make stupid points and people whom I have to constantly state the obvious to. You fall into those two categories, thus inciting my ire and my disdain. So, yes, by being a complete moron, you have touched a nerve of the mighty Gideon. Congratulations.

Which... means what? That Ackbar is a better tactition than Vader? No one argued that, you moron.
a.) That's insulting to one the most brilliant guys in star wars...
It's a simple fact, you moron. Palpatine ran the show at Endor. He hamstrung the Imperial fleet by giving them orders to not engage the Rebel armada. It was his fault that the Imperials lost at Endor, not Vader's.
b.)On par with MOST of them. Thrawn is a definite exception.
All of them, you moron. No one said he's Thrawn's equal.
c.)...that is just mean
It's the truth.

I seem to be confronted with more and more stupidity from people with each passing day. You can deal with jackass here, henceforth.I would, but I saw House, and now I'm happy. You reminded me that it started yesterday, btw, and thus saved my evening.
*blesses*

It was sad, really, to watch Wilson walk away. He is, in many ways, my favorite character of the show. The look on House's face is priceless: he loves Wilson.

2.If Ackbar was on par with Thrawn, he would have brought the Empire to it's knees without Skywalker.
3. I know that the Imperials didn't fight at there best, and I've seen the movies...
4. I meant to imply that calling, screw it.
You have ignored my other arguements so I will quote them myself.

Marek and Vader have, perhaps, a 5% chance at taking this - I'm being generous. And it's purely thanks to Vader's mastery of telekinesis.
I watched the non-canon DS ending. The Emperor is much more powerful than Galen, and in saber combat he's faster than either one. The only small hope they have is Vader using his TK to throw something really, really heavy and crush the Emperor.
Vader is Supreme Command of the Imperial Fleet, BTW. He isn't a stupid guy. He's an extremely good tactician.
