The empire sends an invasion force w/:

500,000 stormtroopers
1000 AT STs and tanks
100 AT ATs
Darth Vader is commander

Would they succeed?

READ BEFORE YOU POST!!!!

The world still loses. So there wasn't any need to throw a hissy-fit.

The Roman Empire has numbers. And a wider region.

But the U.S. has the hi-tech and WMD's

The U.S. wins 10-0. They're a more effective and efficient army.

Roman army doesn't have numbers, it's like 3 to 1, in favor of the US.

Didn't Rome occupy like the whole or most of Europe, about a fourth of Russia, the Mediterranean area and northern Africa/Carthage; areas almost twice the size of the U.S., with each area almost littered with the Roman Army?

No, that's part of why Rome fell. Their troops were spread thin even when they were only protecting their borders.

Actually it did.

The Starwars Holiday special was released on TV once in 1978 or 9.

It had Boba fett cartoon in it and the most of the entire thing took place with Chewie Family on Kashyyk.
The first 10 mins is all unsubtitled wookie dialogue.
Look it up. Its great (In a "omg I actually cant beleive how terrible it is" way)

Return of the Jedi came out in 1983.

Ergo: Yup, Kasyykk... it existed.

HOLY BALLS! I forgot all about that!

Boy...am I embarassed. embarrasment

That just adds to the overwhelming failure of Ewoks...could have been much better on Kashyyyk than the Forest Moon of Endor.

However, as a small child, my Ewok toy was VERY creepy...I loved it. It's eyes lit up.

Yes, they had a huge and expansive empire and they had about 375k soldiers at their disposal during the end of the height, this included both Roman and non-Roman troops they could draw upon, if Roman historian Edward Gibbon is correct.

Large contingencies of soldiers weren't needed to keep control of conquered populations. A small garrison was enough to keep those they conquered well aware of what would happen should they revolt, many a time. Sure the locals could uprise and kill the small group of soldiers, but in a few months they could expect a legion (or more) to come back and bury a sandal up their asses again.

Also, the worlds population was far far less back then, so 375k soldiers was more than ample.

Circle formation, archers in the center, shield men protecting around. History channel, watch it.

Not often. It beats reality television 10 out of 10 times, though.

Yeah...cept...I learned it from a book. I don't have cable.

It's the most protective formation I can think of that the Romans used. Since they will be vastly outnumbered......lol. It was meant as a joke.

So, uh...

Inflecto tenus mihi quod tantum(not sure if I should use solos or tantum) mihi.

Oddly enough, it talks about reality. But it's actually interesting reality.

Oh, and the Romans still aren't winning this.

That formation wouldn't be very smart vs the USA due to artillery and all that...they're all bunched together and the Americans wouldn't engage in melee unless if they were really stupid.

USA wins. Unless of course if Rome somehow gets 6 billion troops, Napoleon, Alexander and Hannibal on their side, full knowledge of the USA and America is being commanded by George Bush (just kidding).
