Personnally, if it is ALL of W40K vs ALL SW, star wars ROFL stomps with sheer numbers, firepower, droid armies, assasin droids, bounty hunters, jedi, sith, pirates, imperial remnant, Yuuzhan vong, Rakataan infinite empire, and more. Not only that, but SW has access to almost limitless resource wells as they have a high degree of resource collection and accompanying manufacturing techniques with a far higher efficiency than that of almost any faction in W40K. When it comes to ships, SW relies more a numbers and skill, with only a few heavy ships to act as command vessels and resupply stations, like the Executor (seen in episode 5-6). In terms of infantry... whoever said star wars had no gear? they have access to melee, energy, kinetic, sonic, thermal (personal shielding) and stealth devices that can render them completely invisible. Alo, they aren't lacking in the melee department as well, Vibroblades, vibroswords, standard swords, lightsabers, saber whips, and combat knives (and far, far more weapons than just those mentioned here). For types of infantry... well... theres a fuckton of them, whereas in W40K they have only what the factions actually have, so not much in comparrison. [side note: Necrons don't stand a chance, Ion weapony anyone?]

For FTL travel, Hyperspace (as seen in Episodes 1-6) is a form of high speed travel, millions of time the speed of light, not traveling through anyother dimension than their own. Like the Necrons with their inertialess drives. With this high speed, SW can litterally starve the imperium into submission because 1) pirate factions 2) the Empire (SW) and the Imperial Remnant have access to interdiction technology, which mean control of space lanes, however the technology would need to be modified enough to drag ships out of the warp instead of creating a planetary mass shadow.

On the subject of Force vs psychic, I would say the powers overlap a little, but are entirely seperate entities. The Force is the amalgation of all life in the SW universe, whereas the Warp will exist regardless of whats living/dead. So, jedi mind tricks won't work, but force lightning will. The Warp won't be influenced by SW, as SW has no connection to psychic energies, while the force can be influenced by say, planetary destruction of a SW planet.

Human resources: Hive worlds in W40K have billions of peple, but Curascant (damnit, can't spell today) [an Encumenopolis] has a pop count of 'One trillion. 'Planets in SW can be artificially constructed using Artificial gravity wells to pull asteroidsinto one another at a distance from the local star to create brand new planets to live on, W40K can't even do that. so for pop count, SW has LIMITLESS bodies to draw from, as they have technology and intelligence (as well as a history) to allow them to wage infinite war, but they dragged themselves out of permawar and have invested into their economy.

Star Wars has the advatage of simple, efficient mass production, number of factions, sheer volume, age, time frame, Luke Skywalker, speed, firepower, armor, shielding, weapons, experience, training, uniqueness, and a lot of variables.

However, this is whithout taking Disney, the clone wars series or anything that wasn't in the Original EU (now Legends, RIP)

Wait... I just saw "bolter wins".

calculating///

nope, bolters use an amunition type that has little to no penetration in real life, as the secondary projectile would bounce off of almost ANY angled armor.

The only faction that would give SW any real trouble, would be the Orks, and even then, SW has a history of both genocide and devastating diseases and viruses. Hive virus anyone?

Yes, theis is a ramshackle and almost nonsense arguement, but it does have alot of stuff that most people miss out on, like how each faction in star wars has numerous types of infantry, ships, armor, weapons and weaponry, so fighting SW means you have got to be prepared to lose quadrillions in a war. Remember, droid star fighters can swarm and rape even the best battlebarge FLEET you throw at it. (Battle barge fleet = 100 battlebarges and all support craft required, including escort vessels)

I remember... Big guns can't track small, fast moving, agile enemies as well as say... a simple hawk.

also... SW has extremely advanced Chemical, Biological, Nuclear and non-conventional warfare relative to that of the W40K universe. Nurgle, you have been out done.

This has been a (bad) arguement for SW, but hey, most forget that SW actually has a very bloody history that spans millions of years, countless factions, and only really saw peace with both the Old Republic and the Empire.

This is why I think SW would ROFL stomp W40K, if we don't allow negotiations between SW and W40K. (This is to allow for a FULL war, and not have a less than great ending, with the Imperium of man being the last W40K faction to fall. Hey, I don't wanna see Terra fall anymore than you, and it has very stronk shielding on it.)
