Quote:So actually it should be a Jedi vs a samurai...
Shades of Super Star Death Match.
Not really, unless the fabled Katana can repulse a light saber. (Y'know, I'm sure that somewhere on some board, two people have actually had that argument!:roll
Quote:(If I remember correctly, the Shore Leave episode of the original Star Trek had an appearance by a samurai in full armor. I think it was Capt. Kirk, running to save a member of his crew, who, when confronted by the samurai, simply knocked him over and kept on going.)
So that's a vote for the "legionaire" column dontcha think?
Quote:More to the point, your are quite right TLC, a Byzantine vs samurai might be a closer match, and a knight of the Hundred Years War even closer.
I notice that you didn't take sides in that match up however. :wink:
