If the Jedi are with the Rebel Forces, then the Reapers get clomped.

Even without rebels and Jedi, the Reapers would get their bums handed to them; It's been effectively proved in this thread that the Imperial Navy alone would ROFLstomp the Reapers.

I haven't read the entire thread yet, so I don't know if this has been covered, but I question a Jedi's abilities (alone) against Reapers. You'd need Starkiller amounts of strength to be effective against such a large warship.

You should read the thread, it's been explained. Basically, to sum it up...

The Reapers can't use their usual tactic of surprise attacking a vital target that leaves the galaxy crippled and ripe for the picking since technology works differently in Star Wars. Due to the Empire and Republic both massively outnumbering and outgunning the Reapers, they basically can't attack anything without getting their asses kicked. They can't try to silently pick off Outer Rim colonies and do subtle indoctrination because the Jedi and Sith would be alerted through the Force, and would then bring the heavy end of the hammer down on them via the Republic and Empire Navies.

I was comparing the Jedi and Reapers together alone. No ships involved on the Jedi's side. :P. I figure that's a better challenge to determine than merely the respective navies fighting each other.

... Yeah, in that situation I guess I'd have to give it to the Reapers. But that's not what the thread is about.

You guys have already determined that the Reapers outclass the Imperial Navy, aye? What else is there discuss in that regard? Find a new Star Wars - Mass Effect fight. :). Krogan vs. Yuuzhan Vong . . . :p

Backwards. It was determined that the Imperial Navy massively outclasses the Reapers. Nice try though.

Ok to help clarify the situation, Lets say this match up took place in the Star Wars Galaxy, during Palpatine's Reign. Would the match up change any more towards one side's favour than already is, or would it still be a stalemate?

It was never a stalemate. The Empire/Rebels would absolutely slaughter them, especially in their home galaxy.

Also about Reapers reverse engineering SW tech: Nuclear sub in Victorian England.

Not exactly. A single culture GCU could stomp the entire GE even more easily than the GE stomps Reapers.

I guess he meant that it's at zenith in their own universe, because there hasn't been radical advances between KOTOR-era and current era.

Wrong. The Star Forge is the zenith, it spawns thing out of nothing but solar energy and the force. Destroyed by Revan, cannonically at least, at the end of KotOR I. They, as of Emperor Jacen's, have yet to recreate that beast. Therefore, they have yet to reach their zenith. As for developments, the switch from kolto to bacta, the switch from pazaak to sabaac, the creation of technology that made vibroswords and other melee weapons obsolete, Deathstar and other superweapons (the EU is filled with em), moss that can create light and oxygen from nothing (created by an Alien living in the lower levels of Coruscant (explained in the bridge book between Episodes five and six)), the ability to fit more lasers in a smaller space (quad-turbo lasers). As you can see, there have been changes.
