Star Wars Megathread

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.
I’m not arguing Vader will kills zenos. I agree with that. My argument is that at some point in the battle Vader will get overwhelmed and killed the zenos.


Also Vader is Alex but I think the predator with his invisible device can sneak up on Vader and kill him. Without the invisible device Vader wins

Do you recall when the Xenos were fighting through the halls in Aliens and they were rushing at the auto-turrets, but then stopped rushing them when too many of their own died?

I think Vader might end up becoming Xeno-Daddy

Remember they cut power to the complex. Hudson “what do mean they cut the power their animals “. They learned to find a alternate entry point ceiling and under ground steel grates. The zenos have sense of problem solving . Vader is not as safe as you think. Only one tunnel they retreated the other tunnel they got pressure door

Vader would be fine , if Hudson can survive getting out of a xeno hive and then continue to survive while being a nervous wreck and a panic merchant pretty sure Vader will be able to handle it. Huge alien fan but they get bested in all the films by far weaker opposition than Vader.

One Vader could force sense the predator two and I'm sure the more knowledgeable on here could verify but I assume Vader's helmet got all sorts of optics.
 
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.

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

Hmm... great question!!

To be clear, Star Wars "Lazer shots" are not "lazers." The gun sends gas into a chamber where a Lazer heats the gas in to a plasma. That plasma is then compressed & then directed out of the barrel.

A plasma is a hot as lightning... & the Aliens biggest weakness seems to be fire, so I'm thinking it's effective... especially in light of that fact that Predator's plasma & pulse weapons are actually recognized as likely the best way to kill an alien & hold back hords of them... so I'm not sure what the difference would be between a SW's plasma weapon & those. Typical Storm trooper Blasters set to high Maximum power can blow a 2 foot hole in a thin metal door.

For sure SW's plasma weapons can kill them... the question would be "what size is necessary." The bigger the gun... the hotter & bigger the plasma will be... & the stronger the impact it will have. So a discussion regarding whether or not a star wars plasma shot can kill an alien would also have to include what size the weapon is.

To understand this better, it's probably simpler to understand that the plasma is as hot as lighting. It's amazing they can even contain a small shot in such a vessel as a pistol. It's the exact same technology with bigger/stronger guns... it just takes bigger & more hardware to contain the larger plasma. If you want to fire a larger plasma bolt with a handheld gun, you'll need extra barrels if you want to fire it again any time soon because they need time to cool. You'll need an added cooling device & extra power for that as well. You need a bigger chamber to contain & compress the larger plasma, so everything gets bigger the stronger the shot is.

Compound that by the size of Tie mounted blasters, then to ion canons mounted to star destroyers etc. At some point... & without a doubt... a SW's plasma will kill em.

I'm not trying to baffle you with technology of the SW's plasma shooting system... I'm just trying to be clear that if we're discussing this, that it's not exactly as simple as asking "Do SW's plasma shots penetrate Alien Exoskeleton." Size matters.

So if we doubt that a storm trooper rifle can't penetrate it, then Alien hasn't won yet because we can get larger hand-held guns or wall mounted guns, & you know what else they got? Fooking flame throwerz... & keep it going on up to calling in Tie fighters & targeting them from space wit teh fooking mega-ion canons. If we're still getting nowhere then shoot em wit teh fooking death star gun. I don't think anyone's gong to doubt that gets the job dun. At the very least there will be a bunch of aliens floating around in space because the planet is now dust. lol... Given their weakness to fire & predator's plasma guns though, I'm sure it would be way before that, even if not at the storm troooper rifle level.

So Vader wins in the end no matter how this discussion turns out.

That said... I'm legit curious to see what size of a gun it would take to penetrate an alien's exoskeleton. :D
I gotta split right now for a while though... What do you think? Predator's guns are pretty small, so I'm thinking hand held gets it dun.

A .45 (IIRC) penetrated a Xeno head at close range in Aliens....

Your standard blaster pistol should be ok....normal blaster rifles will be more than enough.

That's what I was thinking, but I'm a little unclear about the later versions? I'm assuming we're talking about prime Vader vs Prime Alien so we gotta compare the best of em.

I don't recall atm, but after I get lunch started I can look it up & see if I can dig up any info.

lol... I've been looking into that next question & in re-reading my post something occured to me about what I said here.

Lets just say you got an alien floating about in space, perfectly preserved & obviously the last fluid that's going to leave him is the acidic content that his blood is made out of having been cryogenically frozen in space.

Okay, follow me here. :D

so someone's winging along in hyperspace through here & gets fooking alien blood spattered all over his ship. He's going so fast that most of it got bypassed but that one little bit that crashed into the cockpit window starts eating through.

Oh fook... how about a 1 minute short on youtube with this scenario. :p Tab & Bink mother fookahz. Make it happen.

@Thrawn33 I haven't seen any evidence at all that Xeno armor got stronger. If anything fooking morphing with every fooking species it can like a fooking whore has made it's armor weaker. So your point stands I think.

I'm loving this debate but I'm afraid it's case closed.

Now we can entertain lets say a fooking million of them come barrelling over the hill toward an overwhelmed storm trooper triple batallion. They might be able to get to Vader, but then again the fucking guy sees into the future & will be prepared. Once he's airborn they ain't got shit but sucking on plasma.

Vader wins in every scenario imo.

You know when i said people with more knowledge would discuss this, between posts 1101 and 1110 tell you all you need to know.

The two soldiers with the heavy guns laid surprising fire so they could escape. Remember one of guns ran out of ammo, down to one gun. They would have gotten over run if not for Ripley taking the Armoured car to save them

As for plasma not lasers. I remember R2D2 getting shot in Return of the Jedi he did show any signs or plasma melt? he experienced a short circuit. Even the princess got shot in the shoulder all it did was make a burn mark. She was wearing and some kind of plastic armor on. I sure throughout the movies other troopers got and get burn marks and fall to ground. Rouge one should have lots of scenes of troopers getting blasted.
Armor piercing explosive tipped rounds got through the exoskeleton

I remember my point is if panicking marine's found a way to survive for so long I think Vader's gonna find a way
 
It just occurred to me that Luke or Vader would kill Grievance effortlessly with no weapons in literally seconds

You're not wrong. The fact the Jedi didn't employ a force crush is one reason the Clone Wars took as long as it did. I have a hard time believing that a disciplined Jedi couldn't employ it without falling to the dark Side. Mace used it just fine on Grievous.

I don't recall, & I gotta work today so got no time to check, but I can tell you that it's irrelevant to the discussion, because all plasma gunz can be dialed down in intensity from blowing a 2 ft. hole in a metal wall, all the way down to stun... & everywhere in between. They do this to save on the gas... & obviously if they just don't want to kill someone.

I'm sure you can see why this is a null point per the above. To gauge the effectiveness of any gun, you'd have to compare it to the most devastating damage a particular gun has been seen doing, as that could be assumed to be the gun turned up to it's highest setting. The 2 ft. hole in a metal wall being the peak of the stormtrooper rifle, though I don't know how thick that wall was, but one could at least assume 1/4" thick at the minimum if it's to properly be functional as a wall.

I think the largest missing link in this discussion is to determine what the SW''s equivalent of Predator's plasma beam & Pulses are to SW's weapons. Aside from fire... those are widely considered to be the most effective at killing aliens. Their plasma beam being a single target & the pulses being very effective for taking out a swarm of them. Actually the pulses would be more on target for this discussion as we're discussing taking out a swarm.
