Yes! The New Smiley System Works!

Just to get this off our chest and establish some ground rules, here are the canon policies for each franchise that we'll be using on this site. Star Trek: Movies and TV Shows, just like CBS and Paramount's canon policy. The only TV show that will largely be considered non-canon is The Animated Series, given that a lot of it contradicts what was shown in the live-action series. The only exception to this rule is the episode "Yesteryear", which was considered canon by the production staff, even after the rest of TAS was rendered non-canon. The only other exception to this rule is the MMO Star Trek Online, given its "soft-canon" status. Meaning that, unless contradicted by movies and TV shows, the storylines, NPCs, starships, technology, and lore of STO are canon. Game mechanics (such as the 10 km weapons range), player characters, and player interactions, however, are not. Also, the J.J. Abrams films are NOT a reboot, as Tyralak has explained. They take place in a parallel universe to the main Star Trek universe, albeit one that was linked by an Einstein-Rosen Bridge, and didn't split off until Nero's time-travel adventure. Thus, the events that happen in the films Star Trek XI, Star Trek Into Darkness, and Star Trek Beyond are taken as canon, for depicting that parallel universe (as well as any events that happened in the Prime Universe, like the Hobus Hypernova which destroyed Romulus, and the crashing of the USS Franklin, which technically happened before the split, and as such, happened in both the Prime and JJ universes). TL;DR Version: Canon (bold indicating movies): Star Trek: Enterprise Star Trek: Discovery Star Trek: The Original Series Star Trek: The Motion Picture Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Star Trek III: The Search for Spock Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (maybe - I've heard some mixed things about its canon status) Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Star Trek: The Next Generation Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Star Trek: Generations Star Trek: Voyager Star Trek: First Contact Star Trek: Insurrection Star Trek: Nemesis Star Trek XI Star Trek Into Darkness Star Trek Beyond Star Trek Online Non-Canon: Star Trek: The Animated Series (with the exception of the episode "Yesteryear") Everything Else Star Wars: Movies and TV Shows, again, but this time we get a little more. After the Disney-pocalypse of 2014, the entire Star Wars Expanded Universe was rendered non-canon, leaving only the then six movies and The Clone Wars cartoon as canon. Specifically, they were left as the Core Canon, to which all new entries in the franchise must be consistent with. However, all products made AFTER the Disney-pocalypse are canon. Example: while the "Thrawn Trilogy" novels are no longer canon, the character of Grand Admiral Thrawn IS, as he was introduced as the Big Bad of Season 3 of Rebels. However, his story is the one shown in the new EU, such as in the novel "Thrawn", where we learn that his exile from the Chiss Ascendancy was actually a ruse, and that he was placed as a mole in an attempt to ascertain the potential of the Empire as an ally for the Chiss, to help defend against whatever threats were lurking in the Unknown Regions. Thus, while things like TIE Defenders, Interdictor Cruisers, and others are canon now, it's the versions depicted in the new books/movies/TV shows/video games/whatever that tell the "real" story of how they came to be. TL;DR Version: Canon: Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones Star Wars: The Clone Wars Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith Star Wars: Rebels Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi Star Wars Episode IX All books, video games (minus game mechanics), comics, and such made after April 25, 2014 are also canon (provided they're consistent with the movies and TV shows - which is why the Star Wars Story Group exists now, to ensure consistency). Non-Canon: All books, video games, comics, and such made before April 25, 2014. And yes, this non-canon status applies to The Old Republic, as well. This is the Canon Policy for ASVS regarding the two franchises. Take any objections to this policy to the Complaints Department. The Complaints Department, dealing with some complainers:

Update: I missed one important rule for using Star Wars in debates. This is a rule that Tyralak and I have agreed on, so I didn't come up with it myself. And that rule is this: When a story (movie/episode/novel/comic book/video game) gives one technical stat, and a sourcebook (technical manuals and the like) gives contradicting figures, the figures shown/mentioned in the story take precedence. That's it. Period.

I'll... just leave this here. And try to repair the damage to my brain.

First post post-upgrade. See if everything's in order.

Video posting works!

This is it. The final season. Seems like only yesterday that Rebels first aired.

Actually, Filoni hinted that Thrawn might still be alive during the events of the OT, just on a Star Destroyer, or somewhere else, separate from Luke, Han, and Leia. It IS a big galaxy after all.

A decidedly less-than-impressive display of Imperial firepower:

You know, just because of its nature, I could've sworn that TFC would have been the first "Vs" site to get an ED page. Hell, I even thought Spacebattles would get one first, just due to how fucking HUGE that site is. But nope. Instead, Wong's cesspit gets it. This should really tell everyone something.

Okay, so we have some info on weapons range - similar to the upper-end weapons ranges of ST. That doesn't change the fact that the yields of the turbolasers are kinda pathetic. And since we know via the "Thrawn" novel that turbolaser blasts lose a lot of energy when they enter an atmosphere unless fired low within the atmosphere, like that Imperial light cruiser in "Rebels", we also know that orbital bombardment of Earth-like worlds isn't as destructive in the old SW canon days - if it was, the Empire wouldn't have had to resort to poison gas to wipe out the Geonosians.

Okay, we'll try something new with this fight. A tag-team martial arts slug-fest. The setting? The grocery store from "Hot Fuzz". And now, the combatants: Team 1: Jonathan Joestar The Third Doctor Sub-Zero Felicia Team 2: Ken Masters Raphael Raimundo Pedrosa Tai Lung The combatants are only allowed to use their martial arts prowess, any powers they have, and any random objects they find. The first team to at least incapacitate the entirety of the other wins. How does this match go?

Shar washed down another forkful of pancake with yet another gulp of raktajino, before answering Sulap and Teena'los. "My advice? You shouldn't enchant your weapons. Not only do the vast majority of those nasties go down to conventional weapons, but some - like Khorne's daemons - are immune to magic altogether. And many of the others have non-magic weaknesses. Just remember, while magic IS useful, it's not the be-all, end-all." Shar took a look down up at the wall-mounted clock, and nearly spit out his coffee. That time already? "Well, looks like we'll have to cut breakfast short today. We've got about five minutes before I finally begin the tour of the fortress, so start scarfing it down!"

True. But on the other hand, logistics isn't going to be a huge advantage when your ships get blasted to smithereens every single battle. Let's say that the Empire as of 2 BBY establishes contact with the Milky Way in around... oh... late 2409, just after the Federation-Klingon War has ended, and it's done via wormhole. The Empire would try to make in-roads into the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, and while their ships are certainly fast, ultimately, all they're going to be able to do against the combined Federation, Klingons, and Romulans is be a slight nuisance. Those hyperdrives will let them get to and from places quickly, sure, but ultimately, all the war in the Milky Way is going to do is divert resources that could be put to better use against the Rebels. Who no doubt would take advantage of this situation to make even more devastating strikes on the Empire. Hell, the Chiss might decide that the Federation, Klingons, and Romulans make better allies than the Empire does, and "accidentally" let hyperdrive tech fall into their hands. Or maybe a certain Grand Admiral would end up on Earth, Qo'noS, or New Romulus. On another note, I just had an awesome mental image of Peregrine-class, Stalker-class, To'Duj-class, and Scorpion-class fighters backing up X-Wings, Y-Wings, A-Wings, B-Wings, and U-Wings.

Hmmm. Well, in light of the changes brought about by the Disney canon, it would take a long time for an Imperial ship to hurt a Federation one. While the Federation one could do a number on the Imperial one very quickly. As for fighters, well, this would go more or less the same way, as Starfleet Peregrine-class and Stalker-class fighters are vastly superior to TIEs, with the possible exception of the TIE Defender.

Some less-than-impressive resistance to heat from... protostars in SW:

True, but everything I've seen and read in the new canon has indicated that the ships the Empire does have are inferior to those of the Alpha Quadrant powers - to say nothing of what the Borg would be capable of, considering that Chakotay, who was linked up to a Borg cooperative, and thus, had some idea as to their numbers, stated that the Borg possess "millions of ships". Then, there was the fact that the Borg Unicomplex, stated by Tuvok in "Dark Frontier" to be home to "trillions of life-forms", has a higher population than Coruscant, with its population of just over 1 trillion. So yes, several Coruscants worth of Borg drones.
