If you want an army of bitch-slapping clones, by all means, take my DNA.

[Graham Kennedy]

Hmmm... so, just like the other one I can think of.

I guess I'm feeling particularly dense today... who exactly are you making fun of?

[Captain Seafort]

Star Wars I believe. Y'know, the clone army with tanks, air support, artillery, MGs, decent rifles, armour, helmets, and all the other things proper armies have but Trek doesn't.

[Mikey]

I thought the SW clone army was supposedly rather effective? Was this sarcasm that flew over my head?

[IanKennedy]

That's odd, they can't be that effective, they seem to have problems against the universes most stupid drones.

[Captain Seafort]

They were ripping the B1s apart - the main reasons the war lasted as long as it did were because a) there were an awful lot of them, b) they had a lot of far more effective kit as well as the B1s, c) Grievous, and the other Separatist commanders were extremely good, and most importantly d) Palpatine was stringing out the war for as long as possible to cement his position and allow the structure of the Empire to be established.

[IanKennedy]

... after the Clone Wars disaster I've completely lost what little interest in Wars they I had left after Jar Jar Binks. At least the first three films where for adults.

[Captain Seafort]

I haven't seen Clone Wars, but of the prequels, I found that TPM was indeed shit, and AOTC had some good stuff and some utter dross, but ROTS was a good film - about on par with the original trillogy as a whole, although not as good as ESB individually.

Mesirrr...Jar Jar Binks

[Sionnach Glic]

It should be noted that in AOTC, the Clone forces utterly massacred a droid force that numbered at least several times their size. I'd call that pretty effective.

And, according to Travis, it took only 3 million of them to fight a galactic-scale war against trillions of enemies.

Roughly five-to-one odds, IIRC. Very impressive indeed, given that the droids were the defending force.

Nah, there were only hundreds of millions of droids. Despite the fact that Grievous believed he had quintillions.

Indeed. They would have had the advantage of pre-prepared defensive positions and knowledge of the ground. Also, the local populace and military supported them against the Clones, not just the droids.

The stupid....it burns!

[Mikey]

You're talking about someone who wore the skull of a quadruped as a face mask.

[Captain Seafort]

Actually, the design of Grievous' mechanical body was a pretty good approximation of the natural appearence of his species. He's also unlikely to be misled as to to number of troops under his command by innacurate Republican intelligence, which was the excuse Traviss gave for the discrepancy between the realistic numbers and her numbers.
