Star Wars X-Wing Fighter vs Boba Fett’s Slave I
May 27, 2008 by admin
Blurring the lines of what qualifies as “Mecha” - Here are two foes from the same universe - and to make it more interesting, let’s have Boba piloting his and Luke + R2D2 in the seat for the X-Wing.
X-Wing Fighter
- Laser cannons
- Proton torpedoes
- Deflector shields
- Hyperdrive
Slave I
- Turret-mounted tractor-beam projector
- Sensor masking and tracking system
- Reinforced armor plating
- Proton torpedo launchers
- Ion cannon
So who’s the victor here?

Blurring the line? You’re ignoring the line! Just make a separate “spaceships” series.
As spaceships, Slave-1 is better than an X-wing in terms of weapons, defence, speed, maneuvering, and all those hidden gadgets Slave-1 is equipped with.
HOWEVER!
…if it’s Luke at the end of/after the films (i.e. Jedi Luke) then his Force powers would give him enough of an edge (but not an iggs*) to win.
But whatever astrotech droid Luke uses doesn’t matter, as quite frankly, R2-D2 ain’t worth “Bantha dung”.
*(lame reference to [B]iggs and [W]edge)
Boba Fett’s Slave I will certainly win, assuming no Han Solo flies from nowhere and blasts Fett out of space…
This is so because of the Slave I’s manueverability. It is known for that. It also has grand shields, and high power twin lazers. It also has missiles (more than the X-Wing which I believe carries 2…). And, we cannot forget about the sonic bombs. It’d be dooms-day for Luke.
But, Luke could save his skin one way, depending on how much money he happened to have on hand…
Slave I seems to have better equipment…mines, missiles, multiple cannons….higher shield…
comes down to pilot I suppose.
