Seriously WTF?
You are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts.
It is this clear and obvious distortion of the truth that hurts you.
Look who's talking. This game of yours has been going on for at least a month ever since BlackSun and I confronted you on YT. You've yet to refute any point that we've brought up before you, and your modus operandi thus far has been to ignore whatever doesn't suit and to fabricate shit along the way.
I never denied the Lucas canon system
I did not ignore evidence.

Fuck you, you dishonest troll. You denied it in this very thread when you said that you don't consider the EU canon. And lest it escape you, have you forgotten so quickly this exchange between you, BlackSun2000 and me? (I am ImperatorDerGalaxis on youtube) Any one can click on the link you provided to youtube in order to read it:
Myself: 'Starfighter proton torps present a threat to capital ships, thus they must have warheads rated in the gigatonage range.'
slicktyler: 'the books aren't canon. They are part of the EU which has it's own continuity but it is not part of the main canon.'
Myself: 'Cut the crap, no one is buying your BS. The EU is part of SW continuity whether you like it or not. You can thank George Lucas for that.'
slicktyler: 'Leland Chee the keeper of Star Wars canon says you are wrong.'
Myself: 'As for canon, GL himself among others settled this issue long ago back in 1978. Nice red herring btw...you can't beat the argument, so you try to throw out the evidence'
slicktyler: 'Anyhow it looks like George Lucas is telling you that you are wrong too.
"Theres my world, which is the movies, and theres this other world that has been created, which I say is the parallel universe"
-George Lucas
So George Lucas says you are wrong and so does the man in charge of Canon Leland Chee says you are wrong.'
Hopefully that ought to help you to jog your memory.
You have Star Wars canon that says the torps are 1 kiloton. You then have other examples where the yield varies. Which is correct? It's not like something like this hasn't happened in star wars before where different sources say different things.
Again, for the umpteenth time, there exist all sorts of proton torpedoes in use, and for the most part they have shown themsevles to possess yields MUCH, MUCH greater than 1 kiloton. You yourself admit that they have variable yields. Also, not only is the source from which you're getting that 1 kiloton figure OLD, but it doesn't jive at all with any of the newer stuff (which by the way, are set higher atop the canon hierarchy). Hell, even starfighter laser cannons rate at 1-10 kilotons, so obviously proton torpedoes shall have a higher yield solely due to the fact that they've got greater power than laser cannons.
As for Boeing please explain to me when I have said the Books are not canon?
See above, dipshit.
You are missing the point about how they do damage to capital ships. In reality the ships are in space which is a vaccum. A breach in the ship could cause explosive decompression. Look at modern day torpedoes. Their job is not to punch a hole in the ship but to vaporize the water under the ship so the weight of the ship breaks the keel.
Incredible, you're comparing torpedoes used to destroy unshielded, waterbound vessels to weapons used in space which must FIRST penetrate shields, THEN punch through armor which is meant to withstand capital ship TLs and missles. Perhaps the point is too difficult for you to grasp, but in order to do any damage to a capital ship in the first place, you're going to need weapons which dish out megatons if not most likely gigatons.
As for Jango Fett. Yes I don't think it is crazy to think that a extremely rich bounty hunter has better equipment then the Rebels.
You're an idiot. First, the Rebels have the backing of several worlds which secretely provide them with hard merchandise: Mon Calamari, Bothawui, Alderaan etc to name a few. Second, the Rebels get much of their support and funding through their connections to several key Galactic Senators. Third, Jango has never shown himself to be in possession of anything remotely as powerful as what the Rebels own. When have we witnessed Jango with a massive planetary ion cannon? A theater shield? An army or a fleet?
According to you, Jango is richer than the Alliance and therefore can buy better missles.
![What the fuck? :wtf:](./images/smilies/wtf.gif)
What a load of BS.....
He is only buying stuff for himself. He couldn't even buy He got paid extremely well for the clones. Not to mention he is not being hunted by the Empire.
That he buys gear only for himself does not matter, dipshit. HE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH CAPITAL, period. He was only paid 10 million Republic credits for earning the right to be cloned, and further to underscore that theme, he stole fucking Slave I rather than buying it (ref:
Bounty Hunter). His financial standing and connections can not compare with what the Rebels maintain. If Jango can acquire 191 MT torpedoes, so can the Alliance.
Anything the Rebels buy has to be done in secret.
No doubt, but what the Rebels can purchase in secret far outdoes any spending which Jango can make. Proof: the fact that they not only
have but can
maintain a warfleet capable of challenging an Imperial sector fleet, and also all that other stuff that I mentioned above.
They can't just walk up to a weapons manufacturer and say "Hey we would like to by the best equipment you have to fight the empire"
Obviously your opinion is severely flawed. Because they can and do purchase very powerful weapons, things about which Jango can only dream of owning.
