*Fwoop* so much for your saber.

There are Force techniques to totally negate toxins, and they can probably absorb the energy from the EMP too (assuming it'll even take out the sabre). Yes, its ridiculously hard to kill a Force user.

I would say nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. Or, in-universe, raze the area with turbolasers. Maybe pull off a full BDZ. Getting in close with a Sith Lord is the least favorable option.

Possible strafing runs with TIE Bombers.

I would even go so far as using a Death Star on the planet. One Sith Lord toppled the Republic and wiped out ten thousand Jedi, I'm not nearly as tough as a Jedi. And you know if I mess up he'll come for me.

That aside, I'll take a few squads ARC Clonetroopers, supported by a hundred or so Clonetroopers and Super Battledroids.

Yeah, I'm being cautious, but I'd hate to think what a Sith Lord would do to me if I don't kill him first.

I agree. If a Death Star isn't available, then an Eclipse or Sovereign-class star destroyer. Frag the continent he's on, then commence DBZ.

Assume he's in a small village on a forest planet. What type of army would it it take to take him down?

Superlaser. Or a BDZ if there are no fighters on the planet for him to escape. That ought to do it...

What the hell is this talk of superlasers and BDZ's? This is just your average sith lord we're talking about here. Not Wankatine. A squadron of TIE bombers should be able to take care of the problem easily.

For all the people suggesting blowing the whole place up with bombers or orbital bombardment...

I'd say about a half- to full-dozen droidekas should do it, if they catch him from more than one angle. They can put out fairly rapid fire, and their shields protect them from most of the reflected shots.

Oops. Sorry about that.

I think I'll go with the ARC-troopers supported by droidekas. The droidekas tie down the Sith and the ARC-troopers finish him off. Preferably by sniping him or something.

My bad. I return to my original idea: use a platoon of Super Battle Droids, concentrated fire, element of surprise. Even a Sith Lord can't deflect that much fire.

Steps to killing a sith lord:

Necessary Ingredients:
1 Large Ysalmari
1 Class A thermodetonator
Mad Throwing Skills

1. Activate thermodetonator on a ten second fuse
2. Stuff activated thermodetonator in Ysalmari
3. Throw Ysalmari at Sith Lord
4. Get the hell out of there

I sppose a whole bunch of troopers armed with concussion rifles could do the job - given the rate at which those things flew in the various Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games, they'd be quite more difficult to block than your traditional blaster bolt. That, or throw Palpatine and his entire brothel at 'im...

Bring in HK-47.

is anyone else getting kewl vibes from a big magnet? a lot of sithlords wear tons of metal. I can just picture one held to the ceiling, while more metal is piled on to squish him.

In universe: BDZ the area.

Either that or send in Kenshiro. One punch will do it.

I'd use a Fuel/Air Explosive on the village.

I believe Haven was talking about your run of the mill firearm, not poison.

As for how to take out a sith lord: Guns. Lots of guns. Sure, he can block some of those bullets, but they won't be coming back at you and you can just keep pouring lead into the bastard.

Hell, for added fun, launch some white phosphorous grenades in his direction. He'll get a real kick out of his face burning off!

Even rampage Anakin in AotC could create a force phonomena that was described as having the same characteristics as a solid stone wall when he wanted to block Tusken spears. Your bullets ping off, and your men start collapsing one by one as the sith lord bursts blood vessels in their brains. He spends the next two days torturing you to death.

A company of Vong warriors. By the time the Sith realises he can't feel them he's picking a Amphistaff(sp?) out of his ass.

Seconded. He is programmed with knowledge of anti-Jedi tactics. And even though he won't like it, I'd give him a few HK-50s as backup/distraction/ablative armor just to make sure.

The Spartan · Post by **The Spartan** » 2005-04-14 05:18pm

10's if not 100's of thousands of war droids to distract him. And an ungodly amount of artillery to squish him. Get enough heavy SW artillery using cluster rounds or better yet proximity fuse HE and you have Sith Lord Ketchup.

Yes but that was Anakin, one of the strongest force users ever. While yes a Sith Lord is going to be powerful in the force, I highly doubt he's going to be as powerful as AotC Anakin.

Thirded, sure, a Sith lord can deflect objects, and even absorb/deflect blaster bolts, but lets see him stop a couple hundred bullets flying at him at high speed.

Heck for that matter, a wonder if one person with a very VERY long range sniper Rifle could take one out.

Anakin was still defeated in AoTC by Darth Tyrannus despite being more powerful. Mastery of the Force seems to be a factor as well.

Precog sez no, Cross. Same way a Jedi blocks blasters.
