Star killer base vs the sun crusher.

Author

I’ve never read any EU outside of the Thrawn trilogy (not because I don’t want to, but because I can never find any pre-PT EU at bookstores here)

That said, if a Google search is anything to go off of, I’d say Starkiller easily.

It’s too bad they apparently felt they couldn’t borrow the Sun Crusher wholesale from the old EU when making TFA, or we’d have been in for a more straightforward and less utterly implausible transhyperspace doomsday device.

I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.

Sidenote, Kylo Ren’s look is very close to what I had in my head for Kyp Durron.

Same here, although I bought splinter of the mind’s eye before reading the Thrawn Trilogy but that’s it

Sun Crusher would win in a fight easily; it’d just shrug off the hyperspace laser of Starkiller Base and then proceed to supernova the fuel supply.

I’m not a fan of the weapon; it’s hard to keep the stakes meaningful when a starfighter sized, indestructible ship capable of causing supernovas enters the scene.

Ah, so the Suncrusher is the Silver/Bronze Age Superman of the SW Universe?

Behold the ultimate weapon in the universe. Survived a shot from a Death Star (Albeit a prototype), designed to cause super Novas, and could only be destroyed by being thrown into a black hole (Though I have my doubts that it was actually destroyed).

EDIT: Yes, that’d be a good way to describe it.

Is “X vs. Y” the new “Ranking Z”?

Actually it’s the old “Ranking Z.”

On a site full of nerdy debates, this might be the nerdiest.

It would seem so.
