i remember watching the opening in 1977 and thinking, thats a HUGE ship....Β

One thing about Star Wars amazes me. The sheer size of their vessels, and they tend to top it. Star destroyers were dwarfs compared to a Super star destroyer. Death Star dwarf both, until the second which was larger. I'm not complaining but how many planets were raped to make these things?

and then Starkiller base, which WAS a planet...lol...

True, but it was pimped out.

Yup... Guarded trash compactors....who does that anyway...lol

Do you think that'd be cool if you used this same angle and they were shooting at the Enterprise?

I would if I thought the Star Destroyer stood a chance. Β
Seriously, I sometimes do crossovers, but in such a case I try to recapture what made Star Wars so great. Β

Crossovers are tricky, but sometimes I wonder... Deathstar versus a Borg cube! Β Circle versus square

Β Can Stormtrooper armor resist Borg assimilation?

Stormtrooper armour can't resist pointed sticks!

The Ewoks say differently!

THinking about it, I can't recall any occasion when Stormtrooper armour stopped anything at all. It's kind of useless.

It did stop those rocks.

In Star Trek first contact Hawk was wearing a spacesuit and he was assimilated. Β I've never really thought of Storm Trooper armor as very useful for anything.

True...but....hmmmm....this could get messy.

Would the borg nanites just convert the storm trooper armor to borg skin and shield generating tech? Β I wonder if they could assimilate a droid?
π: 0 β©: 1
Would they obey the Emperor over the Borg Queen? Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Borg Queen. Β Given that the nanites work on the cellular level even a jedi would be assimilated, but I think if that happened given the way the borg collective worked that the entire borg would be suddenly open to the force. Β I wonder if they could see the entirety of the galaxy's and feel the life in all of them would they still feel the need to assimilate or would they believe they had achieved the perfection they always sought?

But force sensitive drones!
I am the force, and the force is with me. Resistance is futile.

I doubt even a borg force field could stop a light saber blade.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmmmm...a light saber cannot penetrate Ray shields

I've never seen a borg move that fast where the jedi fighting a flowing, dancing style that is almost a ballet. Β I think they could move fast enough to either slip through the borg personal shields before they could fully form or break through them with a thrust to a single point instead of a slash. Β I wonder if the borg could even recognize the source of a jedi's power. Β The Force is after all mostly a spiritual experience focused into a physical or mental movement, the borg would see the result but could they understand where the power came from?

I forget which Episode of TNG, but yeah, they can be quite agile under all that crap.

*The Tantive IV flies by* Okay so they got spaceships
*The Star Destroyer comes into the shot*Β Uh oh
*The Star Destroyer keeps flying by* Wait a minute...
*The reactor finally comes into view (the hemisphere on the underside of the ship)* Geez...

I think my Jaw was on the floor at that point.

Back in 1977, nobody was prepared for the first time they saw this...

I was 13, and going through the Star Trek Live phase of Sci-Fi. Β I saw this, and my mind was BLOWN! Β

I was eight. We enjoyed the whole legendary deal: hundred-yard-long line at the local mall Cineplex (three whole screens, baby!); amazing impact of the whole film and was walking on air as we left the theater. Nobody expected this film to be anything, so there were no toy lines to immediately exploit the film's release. I still have the comically crude star destroyer toy my parents got me that Christmas. I also got a Laser Sword (a red flashlight with a long white tube mounted in the screw-top lens, an effect that worked rather well actually). Now on my big-ass monitor, I can watch Star Wars in full widescreen (in the dark of course) and the feelings of being back in that theater are very real.

One final Star Wars CSB: eight years after watching Star Wars on only one screen at this in-mall three-screen theater, in 1983 with Return of the Jedi hit, ALL THREE SCREENS were showing Jedi, all times. We waited a whole month for the crowds to die down, and when we went to go see it, the theatre was STILL packed! This theater's three screens were essentially two one-aisle theaters mirror-matched and flanking the central, two-aisle theater, if you get me. We saw Jedi in the central, double-sized theater. Not a seat was empty, anywhere. And this was after a Β solid month of constantly showings.
And when those lights dimmed...

You know, I had little problem seeing the next two films....not sure why, but I saw them in Brazil.

I saw this on opening day as a young teen. I never finished my popcorn and my coke got hot.

My Star Wars CSB: me and my then-best friend planned it carefully, to show up one summer day and marathon the entire day's viewings of Star Wars. Dad dropped us off at the mall for the first showing, and we just sat through all the screenings that day, leaving the theater to use the bathroom and get more junk food. Never got called on it or booted. Theaters were somewhat more informal back in the 70s, weren't they?
