Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Empire has certainly shown a strong display of their weapons and technology in Star Wars, but now, it's confirmed they would actually have no defense against Earth's own weapons. From the Death Star itself to the blaster cannons mounted on massive Imperial Star Destroyers, the Empire has had no shortage of weaponry and power within the Star Wars galaxy, and they have never been afraid to show it.
There have been a few weaknesses shown in the Empire's technology over time, most notably the Death Star's thermal exhaust port that Luke Skywalker fired a proton torpedo into back in A New Hope. Even that, however, was the intentional work of Galen Erso, which means the Empire's only fault was refusing to see the sabotage Erso was building straight into their most ambitious weapon.
Most Earth Weapons Involve Chemical Propellants Many of Earth's own weapons involve chemical propellants similar to Luthen's chaff launcher, mostly in their own various types of launchers. From guns to rocket launchers, Earth weapons hinge upon chemical propellants to pack their punches, which is something the Empire has apparently overlooked.
Many of the weapons in Star Wars have designs based on Earth's weapons, which makes this an even more fun comparison, and quite ironic in that their original properties could have made them somewhat more powerful against enemies.The Empire's Advanced Technology Makes It Vulnerable To Earth Weapons Close The Empire's focus on advanced technology isn't just a matter of pride and weakness, though.
This remains the main difference between the weaponry of Star Wars and that of Earth itself, as the former heavily favors advancement over practicality. They utilize plasma bolts and blades that make clean-cut wounds, but in doing so, they sacrifice some of the more effective and useful properties of the weapons used on Earth.
