quote Halli Cordanna

The Star Forge was protected by Batilla's Battle Meditation and it was lost.

Not in my game it wasnt! I kicked ass in it!

I'd have to say the Death Star is better. The Star Forge can make unlimited star ships and fighters, but the Death Star can blow up planets, that is just cool. The Star Forge also can't move, the Death Star can. My vote goes to the Death Star #1 .

It didnt take two times to destroy the death star. They were making a second deathstar.

Now wouldn't it be something if the Star Forge and Death Star combined? (And had baby deathstars? )

The univers would be screwed. not only would the empire or sith have a massive factory but they could wipe out oppsoing forces. The sith would take out the core worlds in moments.

Ya it did when they made an attempt to destoy it the firs time they lost all but luke then they destroyed it then they destoryed it again.

Luke was part of the strike support wing, keeping the Tie's off strike's back. When there were too many misses and torpedoes from strike were exhausted, Luke, Wedge, and a few others entered the trench for the second run, so I guess you can consider that two tries.

Or you could consider Luke's attempt the third try, since Gold Squadron was actually supposed to take out the death star since their Y-Wings were better suited for bombing and they can carry more proton torpedoes. But Vader ended Gold group by sneaking past Red group, which was supposed to provide fighter screen. Then Red one assumed responsibility, but also failed so it fell to Luke, Wedge and Biggs.

However, if you recall Red Leader saying "get set up for your attack run," it could be argued that the idea all along was for all of the flights to make runs until one succeeded. Also it must be considered that all the runs took place with in the same battle so all attempts could be considered part of the MAIN attempt....

Hope I clouded the issue up enough.

I'm gonna watch the last mocies all over again.

Yeah, I figured they were all going to go for it. It was a suicide mission basically, though they remained hopeful. Them wascally webels.

hmm. I was kinda disappointed when I learnt the star forge was anevil factory. I'd expected something slightly less lame. Like a giant star- powered death thing of some kind.

Death Star. Why? It could blow up the Star Forge. It wasn't a bad idea, but it wasn't original either. >.<

quote Jn_Josh

Star forge looks cooler, but the death star just sounds scary.

One laser beam killed Leia's planet


But then again, think of how many years there was between the birth of these two.

What one lived longer?

Well the Star Forge was made nearly 20,000 years before the Death Star. The Death Star is based on destruction while the Star Forge has its own powers. It can mass a huge army with little resources. If the Death Star didn't have that laser beam them the Star Forge's huge army would crush the Death Star.

It was acctually more than 20,000 years because 20,000 years is when the Republic was first born. So it would be like 40,000 years or something.

quote Dark Apprentice

Previously someone said it took the Death Star "considerable time to charge"... I ask you to think again. I mean look at how much time there was between Tarkin saying "You may fire when ready" and Alderaan being dust, not a whole lot I think. And if you want to take it to ROTJ then that (the Death Star taking so long to shoot) was merely dramatic effect plus they had to get around a planet.

Duh it was already primed, charged an ready to fire, it must take a particle cannon that powerful at least an hour to fire.

well if thats the case then the starforge already has thousands of ships at its command, WHAT NOW.
