well he didnt get close to destroying the allianace he got close to destroying an alliance base

my thoughts exactly. but there are some in here who might think that if he had destroyed the yavin base he had destroyed the rebellion.

Kratas · « **Reply #62 on:** October 24, 2007, 01:29:21 PM »

All he would of done was destroy a significant base for the rebellion maybe in the long term after that he would be successful due to downed mural but really the destruction of yavin would just be another version of hoth

Meyer · « **Reply #63 on:** October 24, 2007, 01:47:13 PM »

finally someone who agrees with me about that.

Also consider though he was the one to really push the death star project, and if he and the death star had survived, then not only would more rebel sympathisers get blown up, i doubt many planets would be willing to join the rebellion if that risked getting their entire planet blown up

So you could say he got pretty close, two torpedoes stopped him though

ok come on now, sidious by far, he was like less than a second away from destroying yavin 4 with the death star, everyone in the rebellion was pretty much there. and sidious has a much larger following than thrawn, thrawn deserved the respect, but sidious commanded it, and he got it, in a large part due to battle meditation

what battle meditation?

Beats me.

Battle Meditation is a Force power. Used by Palpatine, Yoda, and now Darth Caedus (Jacen).

Sidious wasn't destroying anything with the DS. He wasn't even there! and rebel fleet and Mon Mothma weren't on Yavin. So it would have not been the end of rebellion.

Thrawn did more damage to the Rebel Alliance/New Republic with the shattered remains of the Imperial Fleet than Palpatine ever managed with the whole might of the Empire. Even with the 180 Katana Dreadnaughts and Clone army he created, it was still (by all accounts) only a fraction of the size of the Imperial Navy at the height of its former glory.

Meyer · « **Reply #71 on:** March 19, 2008, 09:20:13 AM »

and still he nearly defeated them. and emperor had about 25.000 ISDs at his disposal and not to mention numerous super weapons.

vadereclipse · « **Reply #72 on:** March 19, 2008, 03:12:26 PM »

most with major flaws.
DS1- exhaust port
DS2-unfinished/huge resource drain
sun crusher- exception
World devestator- hackable
eclipse- like any other ship, destroyable with enough force.

Isamu · « **Reply #73 on:** March 19, 2008, 06:00:11 PM »

the empire had soo many ships, it would've been unstoppable with battle meditation thrown in.

Meyer · « **Reply #74 on:** March 20, 2008, 01:31:01 AM »

Battle Meditation is the reason Empire lost the battle of Endor. When Emperor died his BM stopped and the Imperial Fleet wasn't able to do anything well. Emperor had used it too much. So much that the fleet couldn't survive without it.

There's how Thrawn explained it.

Thrawn: "The Rebels did indeed fight better, but not because of any special abilities or training. They fought better than the Fleet because the Emperor was dead. You were there, Captain

I just said Emperor because I cant be bothered explaining why I chose Thrawn. Palpatine has justification in the movies whilst Thrawn has justification in the books, and I havent read the books, so I am not going to choose him over information that is known by others.

vadereclipse · « **Reply #76 on:** March 20, 2008, 02:44:49 PM »

thrawn was severely outnumbered, but managed to nearly outmanoeuvre the N|R. had numbers been the sam, thrawn would have won.

Isamu · « **Reply #77 on:** March 20, 2008, 06:15:45 PM »

dark force really gave thrawn an edge though.

aNaRcHiSt44 · « **Reply #78 on:** March 21, 2008, 01:10:35 AM »

Thrawn did do that, didnt he?
The fact of the matter is, however, that he didnt have the advantage of numbers, and so he coems short of Palpatine.

Meyer · « **Reply #79 on:** March 21, 2008, 03:34:15 AM »

but Palpatine had numbers and still wasn't even close to defeat the alliance.

Poll

Which Imperial leader came closest to destroy the rebellion/NR?
