There are more TIE pilots in the Empire then there are sentient beings in the Federation, ok? Total population they have them outnumbered by a factor of 100,000,000,000 to 1. The gap is that big.
so than The entire keebler company vs a girl scout?

The way I explain it is - It is just a exercise in logic for example if I replace star wars with a lamborghini and star trek with a toyota corolla and then say the corolla is obviously going to win your then going to give me the differences that make the lamborghini faster better not to mention more expensive. Some people like corollas and despite all evidence to the contrary will agree that a corolla will automatically win despite all the evidence to the contrary and visa versa thats why you have to be logical.

I always used US(Empire) vs Cuba(Federation) as an example for a Empire vs Ferderation War. The bigger power will easily win a full scale war.

I've personally used the the modern world versus the world in the 1860s. A friend of mine said Hiroshima vs. The Enola Gay.
Shinji cheered himself up by plotting out impractical plans to off his father. By the time he got to his new school, he was grinning from ear to ear at how he had managed to perfect the plan involving a car battery, a geisha, a metric tonne of boiling ramen, and a rubber chicken. A true classic he had been working on for years.

Sometimes we can choose the path we follow. Sometimes our choices are made for us. And sometimes we have no choice at all
