first off, you all tout the jedi as the pinacle of the force... no
a true Sith Lord (Darth Bane, Darth Revand or Malak, Exar Kun, ect ect ect) kicks the living sh!t out of any and every jedi you can name. Bane trapped the souls of 100 extremely powerful jedi in a sphere of dark side energy, for all eternity, making the entire planet a focus of dark side power in the process.
of the very few force users powerful to become force ghosts, there is only 1 I know of that could affect reality, and that was Exar Kun, a sith.
Next, Lea lived because she got hit by a stun bolt. which is specially calibrated to knock your bich a$$ down without killing you.
The Clones werent as numerous as you think, there were alot, and each clone is worth about 5 to 10 guardsmen, and a Space marine 8 to 12 clones before being brought down by concentrated blaster fire. SBD's are slightly inferior to clones.
If you really want the toughest SW army, that would be the mandalorians. 2 Mando Crusaders or Neo-Crusaders would equal a space marine (Mandalorians are the Star Wars equivalent of Spartans, for those of you without the knowhow in star wars)
The most powerful Star Wars has been would be the Galactic Alliance about 2 months before the sh!t hit the fan again.
This is because 1) they had recently been through 5 years of 40k style warfare, and had just finished re-building, there was a LARGE group of battle ready Mandalorians who had a tradeshare/mutual protection deal with the best technicians in the Star Wars universe (a squad of Mandalorian Bes'Ulik fighters is worth a decent, destroyer sized 40k ship, as the armour on the Bes'Ulik is equivalent to that of an Imperial II star destroyer and then some, it has amazing sheilds, stealth technology and capitol ship killing missiles). In the era for SW I mentioned you also have the YVH combat droids, which have 'Cron like regeneration abilities, variable output Blasters theat can punch massive holes through top-end armour, or rapid fire at a rate that would make assault cannons look slow (granted, the power there is like that of a lasgun) these droids also have Miniature Missile Launcher systes (single shot boltgus, 50 shots loaded on the droid) or an elextro ray (tank killer/nervous system frier) and grenades that put the best in 40k to shame. These were mass produced, and when they were beyond repair in combat, they would self destruct with a blast that could take down a frigate sized vessel.
so imho, space battles are equal for Great Crusade v. Galactic Alliance (other starship advancements were made here, didnt want to spam out how/why they could match 40k vessels, but if need be I will)
GC vs Empire or republic, edge goes to GC tho
current 40K v. GA in space, equal, edge to GA due to techno degredation
Land Combat is tricky tho...
With REAL sith to balance/obliterate psykers, Mandolorians and YVH droids in sufficient numbers to match Marines (not enough mandos to cover whole war effectively as there arent as many Mandos as there were Marines, but they could hold a few key points if used right) of course then you would have troopers who are about on par with guardsmen and a serius numerical advantage going to the GC at the theatres where Mandos arent Present
With Jedi, 1) no Mandos, the two groups dont get along, 2) a distincive care for innocents comes into play, 3) you now have regular troopers (guardsmaan like) 4) in the right era, you would get the YVH droids and Boba Fett willing to tolerate Jedi until the crisis abated (it wouldnt, the jedi would lose the war via compassion)
so if the eras ligned up right, it would be an amazingly epic clash of titanic military powers, and could go wither way. However, I dont know the quality of the sith in the Galactic Alliances era, or how willing to team up with the GA they would be.
If you dont get a proper era lign up tho, Imperium kicks SW's candy a$$, hands down.

:cray: ). So, capturing a primarch, a scout marine, any marine from a first-founding chapter, could kill off thousands of marines without a fight.
