OT: Character VS. Character

[brianeyci]

I couldn't resist posting. Obviously Garek would win. For a few reasons.

1. It doesn't matter if Garek can't aim. Federation phasers have autoaim.

Anyway that site analyses the technology of Star Trek and Star Wars, and in most ways Star Trek comes out on top. Maybe Han Solo will pick up a phaser, and maybe he won't... but Garek would definitely use a phaser or some Cardassian variant, and could take out Han Solo without a sweat with it. And the "friends" argument... well Han Solo has Jedi friends, but I'd rather be in Garek's bird of prey than Solo's Millenium Falcon anyday lol.

2. I remember an episode where Garek and O'Brian were trapped in an old Cardassian space station where they resurrected some Cardassian soldiers. My memory is fuzzy, but I remember Garek killing a few of the Cardassians, and nearly killing O'Brian, because he was affected by some virus. Obviously, Garek is a formidable opponent... the "Tailor" moniker doesn't do him justice, just as calling Han Solo a "Smuggler" doesn't give Han Solo due credit...

Anyway I hope this doesn't go OT, with a SW vs ST debate starting lol that would be stupid. But with Garek and Han, ignoring the technology and other factors, I think Garek would win, because he is the more ruthless of the two. Ignoring everything else, and just comparing personalities, Garek wins in the leathality Category, because he is a cold-blooded killer, and Han is a playboy.

So whatever way you cut it, Garek wins =D

Well, I think Han Solo would win. He's really good with a bLaster, he draws fast and shoots fast. Remember when Han shoots Darth Vader the second the door opened and he saw him in Cloud City?

As for Garrak, I must have missed the DS9 episode where he actually did something besides acting all shifty and mysterious like he usually is.

As I see it:
------------
If they started a reasonable distance away, Garak would win via subterfuge probably without ever seeing Han in person, and make it look like Luke did it

In a western-style shootout, assuming both are present with only a hand weapon, they'd both die from pre-tenth-step shots.

In a walk-in-the-room face-to-face and unexpected-need-to-kill situation, Han would probably be the faster draw.

I figure if Boba Fett, who is a sneaky, cold blooded killer, couldn't get Solo, nor could the Empire hunting him, I would think Garrik would have a might bit of trouble getting him.

2 cents worth

I figure if Gul Dukat and the Cardassian Empire, and the Dominion couldn't get Garek, then Han Solo should have some problems getting him =)

Very true. Would make for an entertaining fight
