1st debate.. ^.-, where do you stand? Options

Say could the Emperor not use the mass energy drain againest the borg like he did to the planet Biss, in Dark Empire. Also I beleive it was Exar Kun, The Tales of the Jedi, who used the force to pull solar flares from a sun and use them to destroy an entire planet. Also the force was used to drop a moon on a planet in this series as well.

~this includes any & all elements from both universes.. ;p

This is the case in this discussion and Exar Kun is allowed. The power he holds is more than enough to completely wipe out any "resistance" the Borg may put up.

interesting, now that's interesting ~ if that be the case, & if we look at the force as mystical, then explain how Darth Vader could wield it - especially when he is mostly all machine..

Good point, DivA! Well, as we'll hopefully see more clarification about this in the next film, Darth Vader is still a human soul. Indeed, in the earlier films, he's almost completely machine, but I just don't place Vader and Borg in the same category. Being the stingy bastid that I am, I'm not gonna allow myself to believe that Borg can assimilate the Force. ;-)

the force is not completely mystical ~ like many things before it - science can figure out a way to explain, & ultimately - replicate it..

Gah! For some reason, I see some sort of secular vs. science debate arising. ^_^; But like I said before, the Borg would be completely annihilated before they could even think about assimilation. >.>;;

"He's more machine now, than man." Darth Vader, being comprised of machine parts is more susceptible to the Dark Side. Thye same would hold true for any Borg who attempted to assimilate the Force. Once they are consumed by the Dark Side, they would be under control of it and at it's bidding.

About the Borg I'm pretty sure they've assimilated Vulcans, Right? So where are all the telepathic powers they have? No where thats where so I doubt the Borg would be able to reproduce the effects of the force.

[Crushinator]

Ok, this just got way too geeky. I retract my previous comments.

[Retehi]

This is why I flip coins to make my decisions. >_>

well, given the Borg's track record ~ me thinks that little would change in that regard; both Borg & the darkside of the force would make for a perfect match.. ^.- also, there is an edge in Star Trek's favor - transporters...be it Federation, Borg, Romulan, etc ~ all they need do is lock-on to all the jedi on the surface & transport them to deep space - i highly doubt the force would allow them to breathe, let alone survive the cold ~ the jedi wouldn't know what hit them..

Though I'm not too crazy about either one, my money's on the Star Wars gang for reasons already mentioned here. Going OT here, I would be interested to see how they would do against Wing Zero's twin buster rifle or Gundam Double X's twin satellite cannons.

3. Khao dun care.

(not a fan of either)

Though I guess if you want me to pick sides, Star Trek. I had this weird thought of Data's cat Spot meowing and the Death Star exploding. Yeah. Someone should make a Flash out of that. :d
