You don't seem to grasp the setting. The religious iconography and structures aren't supposed to be efficient at anything except being religious structures and iconography in a dark age of superstition and blind faith. The every present nature of all the religious iconography and allowances is one ...

Greetings, SD.net frequenters: Something that has always been of great curiosity to me is the design philosophy of Imperial starships. What I would like to know is why do Imperial ship-manufacturers incorporate seemingly useless and inefficient structures such as Imperial Eagles, skulls and cathedra...

compared to this 4th imperium monstrosity the SKB is just gay and wimpy ass hell. :lol: :lol: :lol: I don't think that the ability to blow up multiple planets from thousands of lightyears away or to suck up whole stellar masses is wimpy. I reckon SW has been made into a much more credible threat in...

I believe that this would make an epic fight. Both adversaries are located in our modern-day solar system. Starkiller Base is stationed near Mercury, and the planetoid lurks somewhere in the Kuiper Belt. Whichever blows up the other one first wins....

Thank you both very much!

Hey all, I would like to explore electrical science just for the sake of personal and career betterment and eventually some point in the future experiment with electrical devices. I am hoping that maybe one of members here on the this board will be able to suggest a reliable and easily digestible bo...

Let's say no for the sake of simplicity, albeit his 'soul' does have a presence in the warp, meaning that he can be affected by psykers, and likewise he can affect them.

This is somehwat of an odd scenario, but anyway I'm slightly bored sitting in a hotel room with nothing besides NetFlix to watch, so here goes: Malbolgia has set Spawn on 41st Millenium Terra with a mission of infiltrating the Imperial Palace and pulling the plug on the Emperor. The Inquisition is t...

They can bypass 40k shields.... Why then would SW shields be any different Because void shields don't work anything like Star Wars shields. Star Wars shields wear down gradually and slowly recharge, Void shields simply pop at a certain energy value and then you have to wait for that entire shield s...

What if the Imperium were to teleport high-yield warheads into the Death Star's reactor? You'd have to show that IoM teleporters are able to bypass Star Wars shielding. You'd also probably want to show that the targeting system for said teleporters would be able to cut through the heavy ECM that St...

The flaw would not matter. The Imperium of Man, the Eldar and Necrons possesses no missile capable of a multi-tens-of-thousands of degree turn on a dime like the Rebellion has. Necron shipmounted gauss whips sometimes bypass shields entirely, or at least they did in Battlefleet Gothic. What if the ...

Yeah, the SPHA-T is forgettable...essentially it's just a giant walker sporting a turbolaser. Dang.

...which pretty much equates as glorified fanfiction since it falls into the category of Legends canon.

They could most likely build something like a Titan in terms of size and firepower, but with SW equivalent of weapons. Obviously, that means no fancy WH40k no vortex missiles or warp grenades. Both factions specialize in building huge constructs of doom....

Sounds rather similar to the psychic probes in the Foundationverse, i.e. it reads one's actual thoughts using electromagnetism.

Do you guys (and gals) feel like this film will be a rehash of ANH? The plot revolving around a superweapon is all too reminiscent of the Death Star.

How the heck is a mind probe supposed to work? I assumed lazily up until now that Vader tried to read her thoughts like he did Luke's in ROTJ, or the Jedi Council Anakin's in TPM. Is it like the psychic probes employed by the Trantorian Galactic Empire?

Frankly, it seems rather odd if not outright unbelievable that an entire galaxy-spanning empire could totally disintegrate so quickly in thirty years or however many this film takes place, even if one does take into account that the head of state that everything hinged upon was slayed. Let's face i...

Happily, being high concept sci-fi all about scientists and their work, The Foundation series is about data analysis. The principal actor of the setting is Dr. Hari Seldon, who deals with a form of data analysis used to predict spatio-political outcomes involving large groups called Psychohistory. ...

Another thing that may affect Earth's integration with either of the three choices is culture shock. Aside from that one planet in Blind Alley the Trantorian Galactic Empire does not harbor any extraterrestrial intelligence. Modern Earth cultures would have to confront the reality that there are tho...

True, but Disney wants to make money, so the series will go on !!

There is Vader as well in Empire Strikes Back on board the Executor begging Luke to join him against the Emperor.

This is non-canon now, but in the old EU Mara Jade was (said to be) special, because unlike others she could telephatically communicate with Palpatine everywhere in the galaxy. Now, she could just have been exaggerating her own importance/uniqness (wouldn't be the first time) or Palpatine - as long...

Note that Simon didn't say he couldn't . Just that doing the Wars equivalent of a phone call would be easier . With technology there is less chance of something being lost in translation. Agreed. And there is also the chance that a telepathic communique may be 'intercepted' so to speak by other For...
