@@HolyknightVader999 The fuck are you smoking? If we looked at the number of combatants killed in the Vong war it would be way way less than the 365 trillion the Vong killed by gassing defenseless planets. Also, a Nova Cannon hits with 27 trillion tons of TNT BEFORE it explodes, and thats just one shot, again, BEFORE it explodes. Star Wars Energy Shields couldn't handle more than a couple shots from this, and the Imperium is packing worse than Nova Cannons. Also, the raw civilian casualties just from the Orks alone would dwarf the Vong (War of the Beast), and that is to say nothing of the Tyranids, or the combined losses from every apocalyptic enemy they face. These losses are comparable to 40K, but in no way does anything in the Vong war even begin to dwarf the constant bleak atrocities of the 40K verse. I mean shit bro, Vong Worldships are only 10 Kilometers long, fucking standard battleships in the Imperium are generally 8 Kilometers long. Star Wars just does not WAR as hard as 40K, and thats a good thing.

Maybe start with Thrawn Trilogy, with hints of the Vong, much like the way Thanos lurked in the background of early Avengers movies before taking center stage. Then go full on into the Vong Invasion, eventually ending with the entire galaxy of heroes and armies uniting to take them down in an insanely epic war for the ages. That would have topped even Endgame and Avatar.

That depends, in whose space do the Vong emerge? The Star Wars galaxy beat them largely due to a centralized Government that could direct the war effort (once they got their act together). 40k is anything but unified. Not that it would be easy, to me it is at best Pyrrhic for either side. There is no way any of the major races would ally each other, so the Vong would fight them one at a time. I doubt Vong armor would handle bolters, and they have no counter to to psykers. Plus, the Vong might view the worship of Chaos as blasphemous and start to fight among themselves over it. I would wager the Vong would be able to best one major faction and critically weaken one or two others. Assuming they don't try to fight all of them at once.

@@theuniversedoesntcare Depending on the Outlander. The mando Champion of the Great Hunt, certainly. But the Barsen'thor or the Battlemaster/Hero of Tython? On par I'd say. And that's why I stated Darth Imperius. That man (who was light side oriented) had the ability to absorb and bind Force Ghosts. By the fInal battle, He had the Ghosts of at least Vaylin and Valkorion inside his mind, and it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that he bound them. Now imagine the strongest Sith (of the Empire) of that time, plus the power of Valkorion (who is arguably even stronger than Papa Sheev) AND Vaylin, who again was powerful enough to even scare Valkorion. I'd say it would be possible that Imperius could have become Immortal like Val, unify the Galaxy and survive until the Vong arrive. I'd like to know Allen's opinion on this matter.

This is what a galactic war really should be. Maybe not all the genocide, but fighting with everything you have, throwing all you can at them. Finances will return, but lives will not, fight, die, keep the galaxy alive, keep your loved ones alive. Defeat those that dare to slaughter. I never read the EU books, but the Yuuzhan Vong War always fascinated me, with just the reason for Palpatine to create huge SuperWeapons, and have a MASSIVE military. This war is what intrigues me. Because thats a Total War. What we see in the Old Republic Wars, Clone Wars, and Galactic Civil War were petty squabbles, conquering of planets and governments fighting for territory and resources. Fighting to establish peace. This war was a fight for survival. A fight to survive in the darkness of space. Its what some series need. A threat that you cant beat using normal tactics and strategy.

The only thing the yuuzang vong feared was darth maul. sidious sent him on a mission before episode 1 (can't remember the mission), long story short he ended up in a cell with a yuuzang vong tribe lord (warlord). He was mocking and taunting maul. the warlord punched maul in the face knocking a tooth from mauls head, the warlord picked it up and stuck it in his head and a display of power. maul got up and without using his lightsaber or force powers, he grabbed him by the neck, slung him against the wall and beat him to death with his bear hands.

Sure, the sequel trilogy isn't the best of the star wars movies, but I'm willing to bet it would be a lot worse if they based the stories and characters off of fan fiction.

Just give the first one (Vector Prime) a try. It's awesome to see Star Destroyers of the Imperial Remnant fighting along elite X-Wing squadrons. Another favorite from the legends EU: X-Wing series.
