Subject: Who would win? Halo Universe or Star Wars Universe?

Pit Star Wars against Halo and Star Wars shall win.
Halo Rings have nothing against assassin droids or Battle Droids and the Flood cannot infect them.

Jedi and Sith can call on the Force against Elites and Spartans.

The Death Star can blow up entire planets.

Both Rebellion and Empire have shields on their ships, the UNSC doesn't.


Need I continue?


Well technically the flood could infect them... but star wars wins, unless the flood spreads far enough before it gets noticed and gains access to star wars technology...

Then there would be a major fight... but considering they're still busy with the UNSC/covenant. Star wars wins.

Also this thread has been done many times before.

It would not kill everything in the halo universe, because there are still AI's, monitors, sentinels, and everyone who went into a shield world, or outside the galaxy.

Then the Covenant would be dead, the UNSC would be dead (although that wouldn't really matter anyway) and the majority of the Forerunners (you guessed it) would be dead. That's half of the Haloverse already taken out.

And may I ask how Sidious can create wormholes?
Here ya go.

If one force user can do that to an entire fleet in the Star Wars verse, it's safe to say Halo is pretty screwed.

Going solely on the movie cannon, halo would win. It took the empire a huge ass battle station to destroy a planet, while forerunners were able to send stars into supernova at semi-regular occasions to stop the progress of the flood, indicating probably numerous or easily transportable superweapons.
Also picture what would happen if the gravemind infected a jedi and worked out how to use the force...

So you give the Haloverse it's ace in the hole (Forerunners), but restrict Star Wars by only using movie canon and not expanded universe? That's like me saying Star Wars gets all the Jedi and Sith to have ever existed while Halo only gets the UNSC and the Covenant. It's a double standard.

So either pick:

1)Current Halo and current Star Wars up against each other. e.g. UNSC, Covenant Flood etc vs Jedi and Sith at the time, Stormtroopers etc.

or

2) Expanded universe Star Wars vs Expanded universe Halo e.g. Forerunners, Precursors vs Yuuzhang Vong, all Sith and all Jedi, Rakata etc.

And these are only the most known ones.

Also, you all forgot the Force ghosts and the angels. They can't be killed, yet they can attack.

Putting in the precursors isn't an option because we don't even know what they're capable of so I'd have to pick option 1.
Going on that I can't really say because there's no comparison on weapon and shield strength for the two universes. For all we know, Mac blasts could go straight through SW shields or lasers could go straight through covie shields.

We know enough about them, that they're invincible to everything but there own weapons and exist in multiple galaxies across the universe, and are related, or maybe are, the creator god of the Haloverse.

Really the invincibility factor is the deciding factor that they can be talked about, for like 5 minutes before Star Wars can't do anything to them.

The forerunners defeated them, (This doesn't make the forerunners stronger than them) so they aren't totally invincible.

The Forerunners pretty much decimated their entire species somehow. They're far from invincible, (or even formidable) if a civilization below their tier defeated them.

They didn't expect it. They created the forerunners, probably as a sort of slave race and when then rebelled the precursors were caught off guard. The UNSC defeated the flood but the forerunners didn't, does that make the UNSC stronger than the forerunners?

They didn't defeat the Flood actually, they killed of a small infestation. There's rumoured to Flood in other installations and possibly outside of the galaxy. And the UNSC had help from the Separatists. They didn't do it solo.

How could a god like race be caught off guard by an even lesser race? If the Precursors really did create the Forerunners, shouldn't they have engineered a fail safe into them so they couldn't rebel?

You could ask the same of any hero/villain conflict. The hero always wins despite impossible odds just because they are the hero.
By your logic, the rebels must be superior to the empire because they defeated it, Luke and Vader must be superior to Sidious because they managed to kill him. Why didn't sidious plant a kill switch on vader in case he betrayed him?

Sorry, why are we talking about plot interest now? This is irrelevant to a vs fight.

You didn't answer my question either.

Because Sidious didn't create Vader maybe?

I didn't create lions, but I can still attach an explosive collar to one. He could have easily implemented a shutdown command into vaders suit to suffocate him if he rebelled.

I'm still failing to see how this correlates with plot interest. Dude.

I only ever asked one question that wasn't rhetorical but ok:

Why didn't the Precursors, with all their power and influence, engineer a fail safe on their creations(Forerunners) to avoid rebellion?

I didn't create lions, but I can still attach an explosive collar to one. He could have easily implemented a shutdown command into vaders suit to suffocate him if he rebelled.
So why didn't the Precursors do this with the Forerunners? Or at least something similar.

My point is superiority doesn't always = insta-win. The forerunners wouldn't have lasted any amount of time against the precursors in a straight up fight, judging on how it took a halo ring to destroy the casing around the timeless one.

Why didn't the Precursors, with all their power and influence, engineer a fail safe on their creations(Forerunners)?
Arrogance, Impatientness? We will most likely never know. It doesn't stop them from being able to bioengineer the greatest threat to organic life in the halo universe or being any less efficient at combat.

Why didn't palpatine do it? You can't ask me a question you can't answer.

Most of the time it does. Hence the name "superior." Other times it's down to pure plot interest or sheer luck, but we don't consider them into a vs fight. We analyse their feats, powers, weapons etc, all those tangible things, and then we make a logical coherent conclusion based on the evidence provided.

Arrogance, Impatientness? We will most likely never know. It doesn't stop them from being able to bioengineer the greatest threat to organic life in the halo universe or being any less efficient at combat.
The fact of the matter is, for a supposedly god like race, they don't seem all too powerful if their own inferior creations backfired on them.

This tells me either:

- The Precursors are retarded.

or

- They're not as powerful as we once thought.

Ok, so the fact that no forerunner weapons could damage the timeless ones prison obviously proves they are superior to the precursors. You can't just scream one point really loudly in an attempt to drown out all the others. We have NO IDEA how the forerunners defeated them. It could have been pot luck or the precursors could have been retarded. But don't just assume they're retarded because it fits your arguement.

Also since I have to go now I'll also say this: I'd leave races like the precursors out of it because we don't know enough about them to state their combat potential aside from the fact that they are obviously very powerful. Same for similar SW races.
