Real Stargate?

It's a pity there isn't a real stargate on Earth. I would hope that using the 9th Chevron on the gate would get us to: A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far Away...

That'd be pretty spectacular. Opening up a stargate that goes straight to Coruscant? Anyway, that brings up the interesting possibility of an Asgard vs the Galactic Empire showdown. The question is, who would win? Sadly, I'd put my bet on the Asgard.

Why, you ask? A Number of reasons, actually. First, their ships can cross galaxies in a few hours. How many times have they (from the Ida galaxy) showed up at Earth (Milky Way) with perfect timing? Next, they have transporter technology and similar variants, where they can project a lifelike hologram some distance. If for no other reason, the Empire's crewers would be distracted by little gray guys running around their ships. Finally, their ships are just so darn maneuverable. And the whole being able to zap people into holding cells is cool too. Of course, the Rebel Alliance/New Republic would jump to the side of the Asgard in a heartbeat...the Asgard being aliens, and friendly at that.

Can you imagine a fleet of fast, maneuverable Asgard ships taking on a fleet of bulky Star Destroyers? Nothing against Star Destroyers, I mean, but they'd be a bit outmatched I think.

The Goa'uld, though, would be another story. They're not so advanced as the Asgard, enough so that I think the Empire could win that battle. It'd be tough, but the Goa'uld are enough of a threat that the Rebels/New Republic would need to side with the Empire. Could you imagine a Mon Calamari host? A snake parasite inside a fish. Ugh!

Anyway, enough of this.
