MUSCLES
And yet, muscles mean nothing in the face of the force, or lightsabers.
Sure you can swing the big heavy sword. But the sword will be flayed in two against a lightsaber.
Force + Lightsaber = Win.
While I think there would need to be a lot of conditions for the FF teams to stand a chance, they should be capable of putting up a nice fight at least on a planet or two. As the invading forces, it would make the most since for them all to be place on a planet with limited defenses/resources, perhaps one broken light saber, two or more stellar vessels, and enough scraps for the council of Cids to work with. If the FF forces had a planet with limited resources as there territory, before imperial forces destroy said planet, they might be able to do something.
Also with existing material that can deflect a light saber, and since most FF cast obtain at least one magical weapon, I'm thinking a light saber doesn't flay all weapons. At least not magical ones or those treated with 'cortz'? I'll never remember the name of that red stuff, but if a non force user can fight a force user, I'm thinking the gap should be much closer with a magic user.
How hard is it to get/ make a light saber? I thought the crystal for the laser was the hardest part. Surely the Cids could figure out the tech and send the heros on a grand adventure to acquire needed parts, leveling up in the SW world while doing so.
How does force abilities match up to FF magic and espers? All the FF bosses are insane magic users, so could even one of them learn to use the force?
Moogles and Chocobos could possibly infiltrate a few neighboring planets breeding an army of chocobo knights, or just chocobos... but they have a mysticism similar to yoda about them. I'ld like to see Mog try to reason with the green muppet and his other moogles trying to fight, forcing the two would be friends into mortal enemies. The exchange ends with Mog being the last of his kind, like Yoda, and now force sensitive. Mog trains the more spiritual FF members...
I could go on but the FF forces would still fall short, in my mind, as they lack the tools to fuel a true campaign.
