2. what do you think shooting a torpedo at a planet is?

3. bigger does no mean better? you have no informaion on how quickly imperial ships turn, accelerate etc.. with the IoM we at least know their acceleration, so your statement of "they are more nimble etc is doubteable at best, as fast and agile" means jack shit

4. funny, as a million planets in the IoM comes only from a HH novel where an imperial exector at the time of ullanor says: we are masters of a thousand thousands worlds, after which you not only had decades more of expansion, but after that you had millennia of campaigning, terraforming, settling et cetera... but hey, you will be able to support your '"common knowledge" with in canon source material for your statement, right?

5. do we really have to do 5th or 6th graders physics clases about optics here? a weapon like a turbolaser or a blaster fires in s straight line, which means it cannot go over or around obstacles, which means that enemies can only be engaged if you are in DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT which means: you cannot fire over hills, you cannot fire beyond the horizon (because you know, planets are somewhat round and not flat, right)

which puts the advantage to those that can actually engage you with ballistic trajectory like f.e a simple earthshaker cannon.

6. you want to say that the force makes people immune from telekinesis?

funny, as I remember f.e. force push or dooku throwing around machinery parts on annakin and obi wan

or lightsabers flying into hands etc.. do you really think it makes a difference wether you use "the force" o propel a motor block to crash into somebody or use the warp to propel said motor block into somebody? the result will be the same, a motor block sent flying into somebody

7. as far as fractured:why do you think here was a senate with thousands of worlds fighting for their petty advantages? why do you think that loads of species did not serve in the military of the Galactic empire with f.e. Thrawn being THE exception. and interestingly enough the 40k imperium works with: kill off aliens and then settle their worlds, raise a pdf and have he world produce what is neccessary to maintain a military iof uncounted billions

8.why do you think that f.e. unit sizes are not specified in canon, though if we go for legends numbers, you ge the stormtrooper legion wih between 8000 and 9000 men or a battlegroup with ~ 10000 people 10k troops is a rather small infantry regiment in the 40k imperium.... 1. But why on that one occasion? Never any other time?

2. Orbital Bombardment is usually firing turbolasers or in the case of 40k, batteries at a planet.

3. IOM ships seem to be lacking ''maneuvering thrusters. ''

​​​​​​4. ​That statement is not meant to be taken as fact, rather it is hyperbole. From all the sources compiled, we can estimate it be at least one million, but not over 10 million. If you knew 40k, you would know this.

5. Which is why they do that... all the time. The technology in SW is so advanced that it BREAKS physics, ie ships making sounds in space.

6. A omnipotent energy field all over the SW universe vs a dimension. You tell me which is bigger. Except that it won't be the same, it won't work on people from other universes.

7. They weren't fractured. The GE was strong and unified. The Senate held no power when compared to the Emperor. They did not serve because they were not allowed to serve.

8. In both Canon and legends the number is stated to be "endless." In legends its weird but Stormtroopers are actually elite( which makes no sense seeing how they're all you ever see) and that the standard soldiers are Imperial Army Troopers. Needless to say, the number of Stormtroopers is stated to be "in the quadrillions" in legends. Imperial Army Troopers don't really do the figthing, rather they keep planets in line. So in legends, the stormtroopers do the figthing, and the rarely seen Imperial Army troopers are garrisoned on planets that aren't an issue. So if Stormtroopers are an elite part of the Empires Military in legends( and they number in the quadrillions) how many Imperial Army troopers do you think they're are? Right
