As far as canon goes, of course what Lucas says is canon. Same with what airs on ST. I mean, I'm not saying it's NOT. I'm saying, what happens when he says something you're NOT willing to believe? Something about, oh, I don't know, virgin birth. Do you ignore it? Just choke it down? How much can you...

Niven cares about science, and so his books have a decent yardstick in them to measure power. TA Fanfic does not. Frank Richards kills everyone. He just does. No argument. It's that wonky. Nobody wants Frank Richards showing up. So where do you draw the line? Well documented hard science fiction? Wo...

Link can block any arrow with his shield. And he has a Hookshot. Bombs. Depending on the game, magic swords or pendants. Faeries in bottles. His sword can shoot blasts. Does he have the red ring? That's alot of damage absorbtion. Boomerang? If he has all his stuff, which it appears he does, no conte...

If they were clones, why did Leia not KNOW he wasn't a stormtrooper, rather than just simply ask "Aren't you a bit short for a ST"? And they aren't all the same size in the Trilogy, right? I mean, some guys a little bit taller, some a little bit shorter. Does anybody really float the theor...

Fan Speculation! How I love it. Yes I do. *cough* Well, I can come up with many reasons. No shells left for the big gun. That big crazy "eye of zhahadum" thing that defended the planet. That was pretty crazy! I could come up with some powers for it, right? Since I'm already engaged in FAN ...

Ok. So we're just going with "spouting off" then are we. I'll bring me. You'll bring your papers. I smack your papers to the ground. Haha. You lose. Becuase they don't exist, and if we can't sit down and have a friendly exchange over relative strengths of materials, and all that, what CAN ...

George Lucas thinks you're a huge nerd. It's been well established. You get no respect from the man. What was the quote, something like "people who live in their parent's basement". So he doesn't seem to care what universe it's in. As long as he gets to play around with neat CG toys, he's ...

Have you read the book?

Anyone here read it?

What do you think of the series?

Want to take a ship up against the Ringworld anytime soon?

Hah. Reality. Hypermatter. Supspace. The Force. Q. DeathStars. Species 8742. Plot Contrivances. Plot Contrivances. Plot Contrivances. A random Galaxy class. A random ISD. Stats from TNG and from the Trilogy. From there, we have fun. But no. We bring in TOS. And the new Trilogy. And then DS9 and Voya...

Well, that becomes "fan speculation". You know. The reason we all hate each other. I say because there is a "slug" involved. Shell. Bullet. You know. Cartridge. So they store them up and don't bring them out too often, but when they do, they go all out. It's like having a few nuk...

Easy. The most powerful race is (since it has to be published... or something) is one of those Marvel guys.

But honestly, what good is debating a subject when the winner is whoever has the wonkiest writing?

B5 canon. Heh. B5wars is canon. I love that. The books are not "broadly liscensed". They are firmly and completely liscensed. The books are canon. The man said so himself. Silly, yes, but hey. So we have the B5wars PK. For games simplicity sake, a very rarely used (if ever) ship uses it's ...

Suncrusher? Well, that begs the question. Does it run into a Planet Killer? Does the pilot have any qualms with killing people without good reason. We've never seen a threat take out Earth without some kind of solution. If we accept these as a hard fact, well, when the Earth is threatened, a solutio...

*smacks himself in the face* So, I take it there is some degree of discord on what is and is not "real"? What about situations where there is contradiction? What counts? Earliest fact? What I don't get is this. Alot of the argument seems to be based around bad writing (such as "this h...

So the power of the SW universe is based off of the movies and related books alone, yes? The novels and the screenplays as well? Do books count? Any of the non-movie books? And for ST, what counts? Aired episodes and movies? I'm seeking a common ground, something to which the discussion can be tied....
