Rambo versus Endor

No chance in hell? Not with a weeks prep, knowledge of the forest, knowledge of his enemy, knowledge of their vehicles?

Repeat: Is C-4 stronger than the ship's blaster fire? ie Will it take out an AT-AT?

Those tips are also pretty small, as they need to be light, otherwise that bow's range is greatly compromised. So there's probably not going to be a large quantity of C-4 in them.

Think of it this way RJ, Leia held up ONE thermal detonator (what Luke threw in an AT-AT) and all of Jabba's palace was like "OH SHI-"

You hold up an equal sized hunk of C-4, and only the people with 10 or so feet of you will freak out, it doesnt have as much explosive power as you think, only about 1.5x dynamite (?) not sure, havnt checked C-4 out in a long time XD

Also, what the hell do you think armor piercing bullets who do to an AT-AT????? Those thing tooks a friggin lightsaber to get through their armor. And that was to the hilt, i believe.
Oh, and since when is there a hatch on the top? More than likely they are brought into the AT-AT by a hatch on the bottom that just so happens to be nowhere near the engines, so as to have more armor on the part where really heavy weapons will impact.
And to go with that, if Rambo can get those logs up there tied up with a tripwire, sure, the AT-STs are gone. RPGs would probably work with a couple shots. But with 500 people working in tandem with them? Only way Rambo can with against that is some mega-uber-ninja-invisible-man thing, hed be found eventually, while sure, Stormies cant hit protagonists at all, 500 of them can hit something. 501st are also elite legion. They can hit protagonists every once in a while, if they really try.

Oh well, I think he wins.

Rambo climbed a cliff hundreds of feet high in Rambo 3 to get inside the Russian stronghold. Yeah, he'll be able to climb an AT AT leg easily. Getting inside the AT AT is another story.

Rambo has no chance against the AT-AT's let alone ones that are supported with five hundred troops.

Edit: And it's the 501st... These guys are at least semi-accurate unlike other Stormtroopers.

There are 500 troops on the ground. And no, the 501st are just as inept as the rest. The fight takes place at night in the pouring rain, the troops will never see him. Watch Rambo 2.

All that are aboard the AT AT's are the guys in the cockpit and the gunners. When Rambo scales an AT AT leg (yes, he will do this) and gains entry, he'll wtf pwn them.

No they aren't... Watch the beginning of A New Hope they actually manage to kill people... Still not very accurate though.

And how the hell is Rambo getting into an AT-AT and somehow piloting it by himself?

Watch the battle of Endor, dude. Inept is an understatement. Endor is huge, 500 troops aren't finding him.

He scales the leg, gets in somehow, and blows everyone away.

501st weren't at Endor...

And lol at "gets in somehow". Let me guess he cuts his way in with his machete.

Really now? The 501st weren't on Endor? Palpatine, to Luke, in ROTJ: "An entire legion of my best troops await them."

His best troops are the 501st. They were inept and lost to a buncha damn muppets. Moot point really, because I do not recall the 501st being mentioned in the movies. If the stormtroopers on Endor were the Emperor's best troops, which they were, then that's what we have to work with.

Well, getting in an AT AT......Tricky. But he doesn't even have to get in. Surely there are exhaust ports and/or vents on it. Toss a few grenades (which he has an unlimited supply of) inside and BOOM.

The troops were not the 501st. Tempest Force was stationed on Endor not the 501st. Plus Palpatine is consummate liar.

The Emperor being a liar is irrelevant. He said the troops on Endor were his finest, therefore they are the best Stormtroopers from any of the SW movies. The are either the 501st, or a superior force than the 501st.

Choose one. Either way, Rambo kills them all with ease.

At one point does the movie say that the 501st were the best troops? Or that they exist at all?

I don't see how Rambo is beating 500 people. That is a lot of people to go through. I mean 500 really? I think he would get a lot of them, but he would be killed sooner or later. If you lowered the number then I think he would have a chance. Then you have 2 At-At's and 10 At-st's! That would be a tough battle for Rambo.

First, read the OP:

Rambo is being hunted by the Empire. He is tracked down to the forests of Endor. Vader sends the following to hunt him down and kill him:

2 AT-AT's
10 AT-ST's
The entire 501st legion of Stormtroopers (Let's say 500 in number)

Rambo is dug in deep in the forest. He has been there for a week and is completely familiar with the terrain. He is armed with the following: His bow (unlimited arrowheads and C-4 tips), an M-60, an M-16, a Glock .45, grenades, claymores and an RPG. He also has his Bowie knife and his machete from Rambo 4. He is wearing tiger stripe camo. He has unlimited ammunition for the firearms, explosives and the RPG.

Remember, Rambo is 100% familiar with the terrain, whereas the Empire squad is not.

The battle begins just as the sun sets, and it is pouring down rain.

Does Rambo survive? He must destroy the opposition, all of them. Vader is not directly involved. No Star Destroyers, no Death Stars, no orbital bombardment bullshit.

He's in the forest for a week, he is familiar with the terrain. He has an unlimited amount of the following:

M-60 ammo, M-16 ammo, .45 ammo, claymores, grenades, RPG rockets, arrows, C-4 tipped arrows. He also has his knife and machete.

Now, with a weeks prep and knowledge of his enemy, he has a week to lay traps and shit. He can use claymores out the yazoo.

Claymores, dude. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M18_Claymore_anti-personnel_mine

RPG's: http://www.differencebetween.net/object/difference-between-bazooka-and-rpg/

1. The bazooka and RPG are both tankbusters. They specialize in piercing through armored plating, and carry a lot of explosive firepower.

That takes care of most of the stormtroopers. The rest he mops up with his bow and his guns. Hell, RPG's are designed to pierce armored plating, for all we know, they'll punch right through an AT-AT cockpit.

The AT-ST's? RPG.

The AT-AT's? As I said, Rambo climbed a sheer cliff face in Rambo III, hundreds of feet high, while wounded. Climbing an AT-AT leg should pose no problem for him. If he cannot gain entry, find an exhaust port or vent and dump a handful of grenades within.

It doesn't, so the OP now must be amended to "the best stormtroopers in the Empire", which were the ones at Endor.

Problem? The 501st were never mentioned in the films, so we can't use them here. The Emperor said the troops at Endor were his finest, so we must use them as a replacement.

I'm more speechless over the fact that you are taking the possibly most shitty stormtroopers shown in the movie (entirely disregarding the intent of Palpatine when he made the comment) and using them... anyway they still win.

Enlighten me, what was his "true intent?" 🙄
