So I watched Star Wars over christmas, and I wondered...who would win in a war- the Empire or the Covenant. Place bets now....

I'd say the Empire has a strong chance with the Force and the Death Star, but the Covenant are just so badass I can't decide.

if it came down to a jedi against an elite, the elite would not stand a chance. Your common storm trooper vs elite..... goodnight storm trooper.

The empire wouldn't stand a chance against the covenant. Them and there lame ships, are nothing compared to the awsomeness of those covenant battle ships. I mean come on, if the rebals could overthrow the empire, then who can't.

The Covenant could destroy the empire in seconds. They could just glass the Deathstar, or send a couple of Elites in and it would be over.

Think about it: If the Covenant DID attack the star wars galaxy, The Empire would put bountys on any species of the covenant. If every bounty hunter in star wars, the imperial army, the rebellion, and yes, the rebellion would most likely be fighting too, as the covenant would be a galactic threat, this is more Star Wars vs the Covenant.

One jedi is like the equivilent of One spartan.
The empire has 2.
The rebels have 1.
If Master Chief is ONE spartan and he causes that much trouble, then how much damage could 3 do...

Star Wars wins.....

Cuz we got
DEATH STAR
and we got
DEATH STAR
cuz we got
DEATH STAR
and you that we it
DEATH STAR

Think about it, of the 37 SPARTAN II's that survived the augmentation process only 5 are left alive at the end of First Strike thats 22 SPARTAN II's that the Covenant killed. And the Starwars universe only has 3 total, please.

Keep in mind that nearly twenty-six Spartans were taken down because of a few nosy Seraph fighters and Banshees (they forced the Pelican to rush towards Reach even faster than intended, and they killed the pilot). The Spartans weren't using melee weapons either. There's a world of difference between running up and whacking your opponent compared to putting several armor piercing rounds in his head.

The Death Star wouldn't pose much of a problem either, since it would take a large amount of time to charge its main weapon and fire. The Death Star was intended to kill Rebel planets, anyway. By the time the Death Star took down five Covenant Ships, at least one hundred more would be pounding away at its armor on its backside.

As for the Storm Troopers, Jackals and Grunts would probably wipe them out with ease. The Plasma weapons would burn through their armor. Elites, Hunters, and Brutes could probably sit this one out.
