Star Wars would slaughter them. Mandalorian army, Jedi army, Sith army. That's all they'd even need. The rest of the star wars universe is just icing on the cake.

  • Halo has the Precursors. Star Wars has no chance.

  • A relatively unquantified race that was allegedly overrun by the Rakatan, and who's best feat was building a device that could move stars across the galaxy. Forerunners could do that and more with regular starships. Precursors moved and built galaxies with indestructible strands of pure thought. The disparity is rather significant.

  • Precursors did not move and build galaxies.... Halo fanboys love to make shit up, the Precursors are not as strong as you tards make them out to be.

  • Really? Even though the Didact claims, and I quote, "This must be how they moved galaxies!" in Silentium? Sweet, I must have made up that book, I better write it

  • Meaning "moved stuff around in galaxies" not "moved galaxies from place to place"

  • This is the exact quote: "That is the power they once held, isn't it? They moved and shaped galaxies, they created us!" Forerunners were the ones who moved stuff around galaxies; you'd have to be pretty damn disingenuous to think this quote simply meant "stuff inside of galaxies." And also lacking in very basic reading comprehension skills because the quote refers to nothing of the sort. They are talking about galaxies themselves.

  • I can take a foam ball, rotate it, and squish it a bit, and i have both moved and shaped it. Your own reading comprehension seems a bit narrow

  • move [ mo͞ov ] verb verb: move · third person present: moves · past tense: moved · past participle: moved [b]go in a specified direction or manner; change position:[/b] "she stood up and moved to the door" So the foam ball represents what exactly? The galaxy? Right, you are shaping and moving it, that's what the Precursors did, they changed the shape of galaxies, could bring them together and create new ones(consequentially) as well as moved them. Didact states "shaped [u]and[/u] moved galaxies," in addition to shaping them, therefore they could move them throughout the universe, which is what the very definition of "moving" entails, IE the changing of one position to another. The Occam's Razor principle dictates we must assume the most obvious answer and the obvious answer based on Didact's statement, shaping [u]and[/u] moving, means they moved them throughout the universe. We already know that the Forerunners could "shape" galaxies as you had described (this is referenced in Cryptum, wherein Bornstellar reveals the Forerunners had discussed shifting the axis of the Milky Way itself), so why would this be seen as impressive to the Didact? Why would it be considered such a lofty, god-like feat of engineering if it was as you described? The only explanation, to an unbiased reader that is anyway, is that the Precursors moved galaxies throughout the universe; I do believe this is even alluded to in the Halo 3 Iris campaign, where the movement of galaxies is said to have a purpose too it. "Shape" itself also alludes to creating them, in the same way they "gave shape to life" they gave shape to galaxies for the life they created to live in.
