this is surprising coming from you. You're usually not directly spewing this kind of venom. You all right bud?
What do you have to say about the fact that you have just called me & everyone else who loves the prequels a Moron? Do you feel that ads to the spirit of this thread? or do you maybe feel that's a bit out of place to directly insult other people for enjoying something you didn't? I think it's one of the greatest stories ever told in cinematic history, so I must really be a moron according to your statement here.

In a corridor bottle neck attack. In open space the Xenia wins

If they can't beat two guns in a hallway, they can't beat an army and a sith on open ground.

. Figuring in a hallway was advantageous the guns till the run out of bullets. Eventually the troopers will be it out ammo and resort to hand to hand combat advantage Zeno. Eventually Vader will face then where the zenos attack Vader’s flank and rear get to him.
It’s like Custers last stand the Indians overwhelmed the Cavalry. The troopers will get overwhelmed and sith will get overwhelmed

What if they manage to find a tight space? Then I guess the Xenos are doomed?
We need some kind of specifics anyway. How many are we talking? You could arbitrarily pick a number and no one would beat them. Like "Oh, X-Men vs a million Xenos". Well, Xenos win but who would care?
Open ground would actually work to their detriment because they couldn't hide in the vents or beneath the floors. They'd just be targets in an open space.
Vader's flank? What, he can't turn around or something? I thought we were on open ground because the Xenos can't win in a hallway?
They'd be out of ammo? You mean after killing thousands of Xenos? Maybe. Again, we'd need specifics otherwise you can just declare that's it's infini-billion Xenos and they beat everyone.

Thank you Genitalmen. I thought it was "OK" but was not pleased with the results. Can't stand when that happens.
So I went back and basically redid the jaw/chin area and it came out a hell of a lot better! Better lighting effects, better luminosity blending (how light/dark it is), and more in line with the color of the original gif. Oh and I aded a shadow on the top his head that goes away when he lifts his hood. Compare the new one to the old one and you can see the difference.
New version.
Old version. See the jaw/chin area how bad it is?

That kind of attention to detail is what makes you the goat shooper. Thanks for the new AV!Thank you Genitalmen. I thought it was "OK" but was not pleased with the results. Can't stand when that happens.

Here is the updated Av for ya. Glad you like it. Correcting a region like that in Photoshop on a single image isn't really a big deal. Not easy, but not a big deal. However, doing it across a 4 second gif, with a lot of frames, basically with lighting/color changes on every frame, is super hard. you have to get all those "flashes" and stuff to mesh frame by frame. Kinda proud of myself this time.

Have we seen lightsabers cut through giant metal doors on many occasions? Aliens blood can also eat through the same, but its going to take a lot of their blood to get through the same thickness of material.
Plus, i am no expert, i am sure someone else who knows far more about Legend/EU Vader being the Apex Predator of killing things, and he has fought a Lylek hive before. This was in Lords of the Sith, not that i have read this book. Sheer numbers may eventually get him but he killing a whole bunch of them first.

Oh wow, yeah that’s some crazy level of detail!! PhenomenalThank you Genitalmen. I thought it was "OK" but was not pleased with the results. Can't stand when that happens.

This is a fascinating discussion.
So we got Xenos being sitting ducks if funneled into a hallway, & so we're in agreement that Vader & his armies win there... except for the idea that they would run out of ammo & so that would boil down to exactlyl how many Xeno's we're talking about. This is what interested me to chime in, as GREY's point is that you'd need a shitload of Xenos to exhaust a gun. Here's some Canon information for you guys to add to your discussion.
"A typical storm trooper rifle has a capacity of 300 - 500 shots depending on the size of the gas cell & the varying intensities of the plasma that you can set. So for example, you could get 500 "stun" shots, but 300 shots that can blow a 2 ft. hole in a wall. Although you don't see them swapping the gas cartriges out in the movies, it's pretty normal in the canon games, so we'd have to assume that each storm trooper has multiple cells on them, & so lets say that each storm trooper could shoot 1,000 kill shots. Except that they're the galaxies worst shots so lets boil that back down to 300 per storm trooper.
So just as we'd need to know how many Xenos, we're talking about, we'd have to know how many storm troopers we're talking about too.
If we're talking about a wall mount gun in a building... then I'd have to say that they wouldn't be limited by gas "cartridges"... as they would obviously have a network of feeder-tubes connected to a very large vessel full of gas. Likely at the least 2, so that the system couldn't be compromised by a single failure. This is the way things are dun irl. For example, if you are a welder/metal fabrication guy... & you go into the field, you have a bottle of fuel & a bottle of oxygen to use for your cutting torch... & so you are limited by a smaller capacity. However if you have a big shop, they don't fool with changing out masses of bottles each day... they have huge vessels of these gases & they just pipe them to different areas.
With that, you could say that the Xenos could take out those main containers... but ffs, you know they'd be protected by a massive amount of guns. I suppose they might cleverly make their way through the ducts, as the room would obviously need ventalation of some kind.
then once they achieved that at the cost of thousands of their lives lost... they would only then be approaching vader at that point which is a whole new problem to solve. By now Vader has recognized the acid in their blood & will have developed a more long range attack plan.
This convo makes we wonder why Vader's limbs wouldn't be made out of Beskar. They had the Mandalorians under their rool since the start of the empire & so that seems like a no brainer yeah? Anywayz... I'm just rolling with thoughts there.
So lets think long range attacks. Once Vader recognizes that long range attacks are the only way to go, he calls in legions of tie fighters from his Star Destroyers to descend on the Xenos & Vader himself gets in his. Sensing 3 Xenos that were hiding on board his vessel, he uses the force to pull them out & splatters them against a far wall. & takes off in his tie & slaughters all of the Xenos in open space using an aereal assult & blows up the building he was once contained in... Vader winz.
Just for good measure, they roll in with the Death Star & blow up the entire planet. Quickly turning around to split in order to avoid the shower of debris... All the debris from the exploding planet splatter Xeno blood all over the death star which deteriorates the half that was facing the planet & we end up with the real reason the second Death Star looked like that.
It is still however, completely operational & fully functional for when armies of the Predators show up.

also do laser blaster penetration Zeno exoskeleton Armor? The laser might just bounce off the Skelton of the Zeno? . In the alien movie LT Gorman said standard armor piercing explosive tipped case less.This is a fascinating discussion.

If the troopers blasters only caused burn marks on a Zeno Skelton similar to react when they hit the metal doors. Game over Zenos win
