Can a Death Star Drone be far away? Maybe a galaxy far far away? ;-)

" Imperial Star Destroyer is the best fictional starship ever created."

I totally agree! I remember the first time I ever saw one of the huge 'Super' Star Destroyer command ships in The Empire Strikes Back, and being only 6 or 7 years old at the time; I was in awe!

I like the actual name of a so called Super Star Destroyer which is the Executor Class Star Dreadnought, which it really is a Dreadnought, the weapons those things have are sick and to think the RA could kill one at the battle of Endor, my goodness.

What a bunch of BS Lucas foisted on us when that kamikaze taking out a Super Star Destroyer. I am not which was worse that or the Ewoks beating an elite Imperial formation.

That thing looks like a souped up Frisbee. lol

I always thought Star Wars had much cooler ships than Star Trek. Would be super cool to see an epic space battle between the ships from Star Wars going up against the ships from Star Trek. I believe the Star Wars fleet would kick their ass! I always thought it was hilarious how there was a ship from Star Trek that was used by some group of villains and it looked like a big black box! LOL!!

I never liked Star Trek, so I’m probably a little biased. I was always a die hard Star Wars fan. I’d say it’s mainly because Star Trek was before my time. I have enjoyed all of the Star Trek movies I’ve seen, but just like Star Wars much more. ;^p

I remember sitting in the theater with my girlfriend watching the opening scene of Star Wars, as the Star Destroyer comes in and FILLS the screen:

Like it was yesterday...

Great opening scene.

Well if you notice that the shield was taken down and then the pilot crashed into the bridge

Yeah, that was crazy! No one would design a ship that robust and have such a weak central point of failure, ESPECIALLY leaving it exposed in such a way where a small light fighter crashing into it will bring the entire thing down.

I believe they had lost their shields, but it still defies logic. That ship should have only been crippled at best, and only temporarily at that.

It was very cool watching it go ‘head first’ into the Death Star though. lol

I'll agree to the retirement of the A-10

For an X-wing with the same firepower

I’ll just say this...

If they don’t want their Wartogs anymore, they can send one of them to me.

As-is... I’ll take one off their hands... No problem... I’m available... really really... I’ll even arrange to pick it up and fly it home... no cost...

Love the ‘Hog...

I had that debate with a Trekker friend of mine (much to the amusement of his wife). He posited that it would be a no-brainer for the Federation to dominate, by simply beaming boarding teams to the bridges of the Imperial ships.
