Yes I'm fairly young. No, that doesn't mean I'm automatically dumber than you or have less life experience, thats just generally the case. I am not your general case.

I love how you assume the Rings would virtually destroy the Empire. False. The Empire have a failsafe plan for anything similar to that.
The plan would basically be set once they have detected several specialized units deceased and thus launch the plan. The plan would basically be the Droids and security systems already on board will kick in and the ships will lock down and send a distress signal back to the Star Wars Galaxy.
The Rings would cause nothing but harm only the milky way, it's suicide for the Forerunner unless they can make it to the shield worlds.
This would cause a new Imperial fleet to show up, which would have information based on what happened and the enemy weaponry, thus giving them time to create a counter for their weaponry and protection. By this time the Empire would certainly know of the rings and their power, and the new ships would come in and destroy the ARK or at least a few rings using droid controlled ships (if they didn't know about the rings already and had destroyed at least a few, seeing how they aren't really superweapons so much as an MAD device), which honestly wouldn't take them very long since the ARK is located exactly where they suspect it would be.
HyperSpace is also much faster than that of Coveant slipspace speed, over a thousand fold. I have no idea how fast Forerunner slipspace if anyone could give me that information.
Empire battletroops may seem a bit off in the Movies, but their true nature is shown in the recent prequels. There are so many it's impossible to count. With estimates in the tens of quadrillions with many more still being made.
The number of Forerunner ships is big, yes, but numbers do not always win. A small hit and run on the Ark would be enough, a couple trillion Star Destroyer II ships would be enough.
No, numbers don't always win. But that's where batcrap insane firepower succeeds. You speak of a couple trillion Star Destroyers. Proof that the Empire has fielded such a fleet, please.
GE Infantry get pwned by Prometheans. This has been discussed already.
Forerunner ships travel at great magnitudes of .c. If you would look at the link provided, and ignore Episky's rambling...
Counter for Forerunner weaponry? Good lord, man... Entire swarms of SSDs are being shot from the sky, and you think that the GE has some sort of godshield hidden away somewhere?
He's bull-blam!- you. The largest fleet the Empire ever fielded (Sector Fleet I believe it was) was 25,000 ships. The largest known Forerunner fleet was several trillion ships and weapon platforms (again, most likely automated). In fact, if the Forerunners can produce automated ships on such a scale as indicated, its likely they have as many ships if not more then the CIS has droids.
Besides, Onyx class Sentinels would wipe the floor with the CIS' droids, no argument there.
In fact, I think its obvious Halo wins surface battles.
LOL! The Covenant alone can defeat the whole Star Wars universe
No. They'd have a chance against the Imperial Navy, only if they were stealthy. A Covenant Assault Carrier's plasma cannons are 4 times more powerful then the SMAC (to vaporize a 3000 m in diameter asteroid, you'd need a force of 202.1 gigatons).
But the UNSC/Covenant are more supplementary.
You know they retconed (or however you spell it) the asteriod seen, right? I believe Nylund him self said it made the ship too over powered, so they changed it. The new approximate power of the shot is way less, I'm not sure how much but by a lot.
