I swear you just reappear like Gandalf every few years.
Please, give me some credit, every few months.

Don't be a douche, man. If you're going to correct someone, do it in a positive way. Also, the planet was Kamino; the people were Kaminoans.
The whole ship aesthetics issue comes down to one man: Palpatine.
Up until 1000 BBY, the Republic used ships like the Thranta and the Hammerhead, as we see in KOTOR and TOR. Sure, the designs change. For the most part, the Sith are the ones who use the wedge-shaped ships like the dreadnoughts in TOR.
Roughly 1000 BBY, something huge happened. The Sith were wiped out (or so the Republic thought). Because of this, certain things happened to the Republic, which are called the Ruusan Reformations. The specifics are not important. All you need to know is that, after Ruusan, the Republic no longer had a standing army. It relied on formal treaties and local law enforcement and militias to keep the peace. The Jedi themselves put away their armor and embraced a lifestyle of peace.
Fast forward to the Rise of the Empire era. Sidious had a clone army created. But, the Republic had no means of ferrying these troops around to wage war against the Separatists. What probably happened is Palpatine (either as Sifo-dyas or through him) offered old Sith schematics to some shipmakers (perhaps KDY), who then improved the designs, bringing them up to modern standards.
The Acclamator was not a Republic design. Well, it was, but the Republic had no idea it had them until Geonosis.
This is actually exactly what happened.

I'm a mechanic on some backwater planet (not Tatooine, too much traffic) that does enough work to get by and not draw attention to myself at all.
Do I win?

*feels massive disappointment *
I play this game to explore my character's story, not have more of this has been shoved down my throat.
-
Vader is, essentially, Anakin with a mad-on, so they're basically equal in my eyes.
-
He's full out Sorcerer when you kill him in the Foundry.
-
A mechanic in a very quiet, out of the way colony that never gets any galactic attention from anyone because of how damn boring it is. The Star Wars universe is freaking terrifying for anyone that bothers to look past the romanticism.

The Jedi never enslaved the Clones. They Jedi actually treated the Clones better than the vast majority of the Republic, viewing them as more than just tools for war. The SITH ordered the creation of the Clone Army using a Jedi's identity, the REPUBLIC (under the influence of the Sith) decided to use them to fight the Clone Wars, the JEDI SERVE the Republic, thus they fought alongside the clones. In doing so they (the Jedi) actually cared about their (the Clones) deaths and well being, contrary to many of the naturally born officers of the Republic, who didn't mind sacrificing more clones if it got them their objectives faster.
The only person to ever come close to claiming that the Jedi enslaved the clones was Karen Traviss, She Who Destroys Verisimilitude, and she is to be ignored with extreme prejudice.
-
How are the Jedi any different? In the Clone Wars era the Jedi Order enslaved an entire army of clones. Clones are still living beings.
*Cough*
No, actually, they did not. In fact, the Jedi were the only group of people as a whole to treat the Clones as individuals rather than just tools to be used.

Han Solo
Wedge Antilles (The ONLY person to survive two Death Star runs)

Sucks for Clone Wars fans.

... Why would anyone want to? That game was a pile of ***** years before it was shut down.

I thought this debate was settled a long time ago.

I'd actually put the "cross of fire" on the Scythe down as a win-loss situation. Most of its firepower was focused towards the front, if a Pellaeon got up on its side it would be boned, it's broadside capability was too low.
-
Canonically though the Avenger was superior to the X-wing in all but one way, it wasn't as modifiable due to size difference and the X-wing therefore had a bigger and thus better hyperdrive, beyond that though, the Avenger makes the X-wing look as old as it really is.
I see your Avenger and raise you the TIE/D Defender.
Edit: Awe, too late.
-
Maybe the Pellaeon?

1000 years of hiding and he achieved what, 20 years of rule and the extermination of Jedi that lasted for 40 or so years till the order was back up? Great job guys, really.
Oh and please, stop deciding who asserts what in your head, it's rather idiotic.
The Banite Sith utterly destroyed an order of super human peace keepers that had existed for over twenty THOUSAND years. The destruction of the Jedi was so complete that by the time Luke had come into his own, only the Rebel Alliance, their allies and a few fringe elements didn't believe that the Jedi were treacherous insurgents waiting to overthrow the Republic and take their freedom away. Sidious did more than just kill the Jedi, he destroyed everything they stood for and corrupted it to fit his own ends. It's much more impressive when you lay it all out on the table.
Now, are we talking Pre-Karpshyn Bane or Post-Karpshyn Bane? Because Pre-Drew Bane was an evil mastermind of epic proportions, Post-Drew Bane had a little Mr. Magoo in his personality.
-
Clearly you haven't read the Bane Trilogy, because this is at the heart of the Rule of Two. Only when the apprentice grows more powerful than the master can he overthrow him in single combat, to ensure that each generation is stronger than the next. Bane instituted the Rule so that the weak would not overthrow the strong through superior numbers or backstabbing. So no, he was not a brute, he realised the essential flaw in the Sith Order, and fixed it.
It was a jab at his assertion that Bane wouldn't expect treachery and cunning in the Apprentice taking on the Master.
On the subject of Sidious though, he WAS the culmination of the Rule of Two. He destroyed the Jedi Order and established a galactic Sith empire. The entire Rule of Two was leading up to him coming to power, once he was in, he could basically do whatever the hell he wanted.
-
I think Bane intended that the confrontation between master and apprentice was meant to be face to face, power to power and save the scheming and backstabbing for other things. If the master has to spend the better part of his or her life wary of a cowardly sneak attack or some form of sabotage they cannot spend time growing stronger themselves, leading to weaker Sith cowering in a hole somewhere.
Of course, the whole rule of two is stupidity of the highest order, but I'm not going to delve into that.
Then Bane was a simple minded brute who wouldn't last long in a galaxy with people that were too smart for him to simply over power.
-
Super weapon, unfortunately.
I guess the laser being its main weapon would make it count as one, wouldn't it.
Are we counting the Super class ships? Those could be classed as Super Weapons all on their own, what with their sheer destructive power.
-
Number one would have to be the Darksaber, if it hadn't been built by complete idiots.
-
Exar Kun.
I swear he's like your Star Wars boyfriend. (not that that's a bad thing)
-
We're talking about sheer force power, not duelling skills.
Sheer Force power? That list starts and ends with Luke, doesn't it?
-
1. Luke Skywalker
2. Anakin Skywalker (No matter what anyone says, he was at the height of his power when he killed Sidious, and he was a Jedi then.)
3. Jaina Solo
4. Yoda
5. Mace Windu
6. Obi-Wan Kenobi
7. Kyp Durron
8. Nomi Sunrider'
9. Cin Drallig
10. Odan-Urr

Jaesa is full out Sith if you go DS, no bones about it.
