Unrelated picture of unrelated interests. Don’t ask me why, I don’t even know.

Sauron has a star destroyer! Middle Earth is doomed!

I have (had?) that same model kit. Spent more time painting it than assembling it. And then it got knocked off my bookcase, probably got tossed shortly thereafter.

This is actually not the model kit, this is he electronic light up stardestroyer it’s approximately the same size as the model though. About 13 inches.

This needs to be a thing. LOTR x Star wars. You can take the film series, I’ll do the video games. Think Battlefront but with Orcs vs. Storm Troopers. Who’s down!?

Which is stronger magic or the dark side of The Force? I’m there.

In the Kinja way or the bad taeks way? Both appear to be common

Kinja’d, actually now I can’t even load Oppo on my computer. I’ve fallen back to the phone as backup.

This is such a great uber nerd thought exercise. Here goes nothin’
Okay so realistically its definitely Sauron and the dark side initially vs. the Jedis plus Gandolf and co. - the evil side infighting comes later, that’s how good triumphs over evil at the end of the series and the death star ends up crashing into mordor - but initially its an all out slug fest with Orc hordes being transported to far away planets and Droid assaults on the cities of middle earth.
Balancing would be handled by having a fixed number of roles per side in massive multiplayer matches. 50% melee classes 50% ranged classes. Lightsabers vs swords and axes, blasters vs. arrows and bolts. Hero shooter elements too with a tank and a healer option thrown in.
To answer your question, I think it would make sense for Sauron to end up using overwhelmingly powerful magic on the dark side of the force, for they are only human and few in numbers, and as a last ditch effort the dark side tries to move the death star right over mordor to get things under control. That’s when the Jedis slip the hobbits into the star since dark side security measures can’t detect Hobbits (that’d be a great scene) to put the proverbial brick on the theoretical gas pedal and bail out before the crash happens.

I just gave token a 3 paragraph answer to his question. Ugh I am SO hopeless haha. I should start pitching this idea on my first dates as a litmus test.

Funny, I already developed he movie plot years ago based on a dream I had.
“Orcs from the North”: it’s a crossover movie wherein Obi wan Kenobi is an investigative journalist who uncovers a secret plot by Senetor Palpatine to collide with renown terrorist Saruman to take over the earth by breeding an Uruk army. Simultaneously a “new dimension” is discovered and people start fleeing to his perfect world, little do they realize that there bodies are actually left behind because it’s the matrix. This was Palpatines plan all along. Kenobi eventually realizes this with the help of his mentor George Clooney, who begins training Kenobi to be a Jedi because Clooney knows that Kenobi is “The One”. Clooney is assasinated by Palpatines men, and the movie ends with Kenobi realizing his Jedi powers and becoming the leader of the resistance against the orc army and the machines which control the Matrix.
P.S. I swear I wasn’t on drugs.

I want that movie! Of course the odds of Disney and Warner Bros. playing nice with their prized properties even for a game or comic are exactly zero but, like you said, it’s a great nerd exercise.

YES. This is glorious. And would make an incredible detective style point and click adventure.
PS: I have done almost all of the drugs during a very, very dark phase of my life, you can’t come up with shit this brilliant on psychs. Most of the time at least haha
