What do you mean we don't know how these two would affect each other. It's simple both weapons require a certain force and its up to us to figure out based off their showings the impact of said weapons. We do not need a guide describing Hulk's strength to figure out if he hits Superman it is going to hurt or impact him.
It'a hilarious that you think that. We can't just look at something and assume it will have the same affect on something else. To follow your Hulk v Superman example, just because Superman was able to punch a guy and hurt him, doesn't mean Hulk can replicate that. We need detailed data and similar circumstances to draw evidence in order to make an EDUCATED theory, as opposed to an assumption that since Hulk could hurt someone, that Superman could, too. Since there's no way to know how a phaser would react to a SW shield, and a turbolaser to ST shields, we make assumptions based on data we have that is more reliable. I take the movie showings and apply them to things like this with a grain of salt, given that we don't have any real data other than what we see, and just looking at two things and comparing them isn't always reliable since we don't know if we will get the same results if the situation was changed. Do you get what I'm saying now? We can't assume something just because it looks like things will play out in a certain way, we have to use real data, crunch numbers, and analyze everything to find an answer to this question, and until you provide something like that for the Kelvin timeline, all I have to go on is data from the Prime timeline, and scale up given that you claim (I have yet to find anything that supports this) that the Kelvin weapons are more advanced. So, please provide some data and sources supporting your argument, or don't, and leave your argument baseless 👆
The hilarious thing is Lucas made inaccurate scientific statements in Star Wars films before and you're acting like it all totally makes sense.
Like what? Care to back this up, or leave it baseless like very thing else?
The writers and directors aren't in a room crushing numbers based off a guides information despite your insistence.
I never implied they were, I'm simply saying that we won't draw an accurate conclusion from just looking at the movies, we have to go deeper, as I've been saying. If you want to debunk my argument, at least do so with some effort, maybe you'll get somewhere 👆
You believing you have the superior argument is the bitter irony here. With a straight face you're saying ignore the films and hey look at this tech guide which has nothing to do with the Kelvin timeline because it proves Star Wars wins!!!! 😂
I have the better argument because I'm backing up my statements and arguments, while all you have is a biased video. The movies do have important information in them for settling this argument, but using them as the only source is what the problem is. We can't get an accurate answer from just the movies, but I agree that using examples from the Prime timeline won't either, hence why I would like to see something that supports the Kelvin timeline other than the movies. Since I have yet to find anything on the Kelvin timeline that we can use for this debate other than the movies, I use the examples provided by the Prime timeline.
If what you say is true about the Kelvin timeline having more advanced technology than the Prime timeline (which, as usual, you have yet to back up), then we scale up from there, and even if we multiply the results of number crunching and valid data, it still doesn't compare to the technology of the Clone Wars, most of which became outdated and nearly useless by ANH.
No, you made a blanketed statement without proof and acted like I needed to disprove the force aided the ewoks. That isn't how debating works you made the claim which until you provide proof is baseless.
It's hilarious and ironic that you're getting on me for it when you have yet to provide proof for and back up a single of your arguments as accurate. I concede this point, as I remember reading that the "Will of the Force" was for the Empire to fall, and it got specific in discussing how it affected the Battle of Endor, but I can't find it. So, since I can't back it up, I give you a win where. Not that it affects the debate in any way.
