Klingons vs. Ewoks

Post by Drooling Iguana »

If the Klingons decided to try to invade Endor usung their usual arsenal of bat'leths, mek'leths and other various sharp, pointy things, would they be successful?

Unless the Klingons use range weaponry, the Ewoks can simply snipe with arrows, or go aerial with rocks. Hey, if it worked on stormtroopers it'll definitely work on Klingons.

Depends on how good Klingons are at climbing trees. :P

Seriously, if they don't bring ranged weapons, then the klingons will get owned. Ewoks>Stormtroopers>Klingons. This little equation sums it up.

Not true. The stormtroopers were beating back the ewoks, despite being surprised and outnumbered, until Chewie jacked the AT-ST.

The Ewoks own the air, meaning they can drop rocks from their gliders. You don't need high tech when gravity is on your side.

What do you mean the Ewoks were getting killed by the Stormtroopers, only one was killed, and that was when they played the really sad music, all the rest just beat the stromtroopers or ran to their next barbaric weapon.

In the novelization the stormtroopers were in control of the situation. If you remember, the novel counts in this case because nothing in the movie conclusively contradicts it.

I doubt the Ewoks have bows for every one of them, and I also doubt those arrows would be lethal or even disabling without repeated hits. With an equal mass of Klingon's and Ewoks I could still it going either way.

Ewoks are far better at concealment and arboreal combat than the Klingons. They also have a high aptitude for trap-setting and have actual ranged weaponry. If the Klingons invaded Endor, they'd truly be fucked.

It's a sad state of affairs when a primative species has more knowledge of combined arms tactics than a space-faring empire, the Ewoks would take it due to air and artillary support, ability to set traps, and their ability to camoflage themselves in the jungle

The whole presentation of the Endor ground battle was pure propaganda.

If I was in place of Commander Pellar (The commander of the Imperial base on Endor) I would have simply launched TIE Bombers from the landing platform to burn down the surronding forest while my own troops have to retret into sefe terrain.

But what the Klingons would do with the Ewoks.

Hm...perhaps thier more tech-independent fighting style would give the Klingongs a bonus in that terrain....

Well, if they brought their disrupters along I doubt even they will favor climbing up trees to get to the Ewoks to just shooting... :?

Except that klingons rarely use their disruptors. They usually just go HTH

I know. But like I said, expecting them to try to climb the trees while having rocks thrown on their heads rather than using their disrupters is a bit extreme :?

They arrogently charge at federation officers, who carry long range weaponry (not that long range, but better than a pointy knife) with B'atleth's drawn, i don't think it's that much of a strech

Man, that would be such a funny battle to watch, or really gorey.

Let's see

Klingon's beam down. There ship leaves orbit.
Klingons charge little bears with sharp sticks
Little bears duck, logs swing down and slam into klingons
all hell breaks loss
The klingons realise they are losing to Teddy bears and finally decide to pull out there disruptors and lie about the battle latter

I'd have to say the klingons is they realised the Ewoks were basically toys with wooden sticks and started shoting at them.

unless the Ewoks have left over working blasters from the Battle of Endor. In that case, the Klingons are all dead meat

Klingon sets to Stovakor, meets Kahless's spirit
"How did you die, brave Klingon warrior?"

Klingon: "I was killed by a 2 foot tall fuzzy bear that had a stolen gun, He shot me before I could hit it with my Battle'h"
Kahless: "You where using your Battle'h when you had a Disruptor!? No wonder we can't conquer the galaxy! That's it, my people need me, I'm going back!"
Klingon: "Sir, they already cloned you?"
Kahless: "Hmmm, I better go find Palpatine and find out his 'move into a clone' trick

:lol:

Okay, now back to seriousness

I always wondered why the Empire didn't flatten, clear cut and burn everything withing 20 miles of the shield generator, mine the ground and put in Tie Starfighter flights and a more troops on active patrol. Screw this "it's a trap" routine.

Shuttle arrives, Vader senses it, blast it with Ion cannons, and oh look, here's Luke now, with people to torture to turn to the darkside.

But then it would've just been the shuttle scene and the battle on the death star. I wonder how the battel would've went with a fully operational deathstar but a dead palpatine...

Depends on a few things

If the Endor Shield generator is still operational: Death Star/The Empire
No shields: The Rebels.


Actually, there are so many permutations to the battle of Endor, it's not funny

like

1)- Put shields around the Death Star's reactor, and a few Lancer class frigates there to give the rebels a nasty surprise
2)- The Endor shield generator was for show. The real one is on the Death Star (now THERES a mean trick to play on the rebels)
3)- The imperial fleet decided to engage the rebels anyway.
4)- The Empire was smart and BDZ a 100 mile radius around the shield generators. No more pesky ewoks, but lots of radiation for the rebels to go through
5)- When Vader was taking Luke up in the shuttle, he instead had luke stunned and stuffed in a stasis booth until the battle was over, and was waiting at the back door for the rebel strike force (that's just TOO mean)


Actually, if you stack them....

Oh well, you get the point
