Placing your entire army on a wide open and giving them the choice of either using their artillery or staying shielded and passively waiting until the droids passed their shield and got too close for their artillery is not what I'd call competent, myself.

It was a disturbingly traditional form of warfare, yes. Rumour has it that real warfare actually is more horrifying than picturesque, and it is not as if we go to the movies to truly question human nature.

The practical - and still dramatically fancy - approach would be showing them employ guerrilla tactics, lead the droids into swamps and ambush them. But then, I suppose it'd feel like an Ewok rehash.

Good thing the 3DS provides comment-free Youtube.

Same. That and the removing of everything it feels like.

Also there is this thing about an underwater kingdom suddenly mobilizing a whole bloody army and bringing the whole belligerent group effort on dry land. Logic dictates that an amphibious civilization with all their major settlements existing on the bottom of the sea (or lakes) would be more efficient in underwater combat.

That part's more understandable - their purpose was to draw a ground army away from the city.

Also I'm pretty sure they're capable of generating EMPs in the Star Wars universe. Those droid armies didn't look spectacularly EMP-resistent.

I have liberal view, and i agree.

they kept playing this recording in school ITS A PLOT!

Firsthome is cute.

I finally gave in and bought 1989. Life's too short to not listen to cheesy pop music.

Quite frankly, I found the entire empire engineering effort, quite poor. What is it with villains and piss poor design?

Let's be real.

Star Wars warfare is hugely impractical.

I mean, seriously? Massive-scale conventional wars? That's a step back into 3000BCE - 500AD, when the wars lasted around ten years.


I'd expect most of the warfare in Star Wars to be conducted with either COIN operations, or through absolutely colossal ships like The Executor with WMDs, wiping away the topography of worlds.

Did the Trade Federation not get incorporated into the Empire though?

Tie Defender.

Tie Interceptor.


Two fighters that completely outclassed everything those rebels could throw at them.


Hell, if you read the comics and the EU and the like, there's quite a few exceptional pilots in the Imperial Navy.

Audiences in the late 70s wanted to see their heroes destroy the bad guys.

You remind me of this one poster.

Slembana or something?

Am I even allowed to speak of former players anyways?

not really.

the Trade federation crashed, and was so inept that it wasn't absorbed.
