'''Star Wars''' is the catch-all banner for an intergalactic conflict between several factions of humanoid aliens and robots engaged in a galactic war.

Known factions include Bounty Hunters, Empire, [[Jedi]], Rebel, Republic, Separatist, and [[Sith]].

==Battle mechs==
Many "star warriors" fight using Transformer-like battle mecha that change from vehicles to large combat robots. These mecha are piloted from within and are not sapient beings like true Cybertronian [[Transformer]]s. The pilots trigger their vehicle's transformation by summoning something called "The Force" or "the dark side". The nature of this mechanism is unclear, but we do know that vehicle-to-robot conversions are a "new technology" for them.

Rather unique to this conflict, many of the key figures in these Star Wars pilot clearly customized mecha whose robot modes are based closely on their own physical appearance. Based on the ''possible'' size of the star warriors relative to the average Transformer ''(see below)'', their transforming ships may be on a scale with massive city-bots like [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]].

==Size matters not?==
[[Image:Megatronvsluke.jpg|left|thumb|Megatron is not Luke Skywalker's father. Probably.]]

Perhaps similar to the inhabitants of [[Femax]], these fearsome beings, though in many cases strikingly [[human]]-like, might be of a gigantic stature, equaling the size of many Transformers. Rare images of star warriors battling against Transformers from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] have been uncovered, though the context is unclear. It has also been speculated that perhaps the Transformers themselves had been somehow reduced in stature for this conflict, or the star warriors' size similarly increased from their normal standard, but without further context, it is impossible to determine which holds true.

==Fiction==

===Generation 1===

[[Image:R2d2_c3po.jpg|right|thumb|These aren't the droids we're looking for.]]

A pair of mechanoids ''similar'' to [[wikia:starwars:C-3PO|two]] [[wikia:starwars:R2-D2|droids]] that are known participants in the Star Wars ''have'' been seen in a Generation 1 universe at the [[Schaeffer Energy]] plant, suggesting either dimensional travel, or the existence of alternate universe analogues of at least some of the star warriors, or bloody amazing coincidence (actual scientific term). Since these droids only appear in the far foreground of a scene containing a human child, [[Micromaster]]s, and [[Star Saber]] behind them, it is impossible to determine their heights.

At around the same time, [[Star Saber]] travelled to the settlement of [[Iron Town]] on an unnamed planet. The population there included the [[wikia:starwars:Ewok |Ewok]] and [[wikia:starwars:Jawa|Jawa]] alien species involved in the Star Wars.

The tall golden droid (or robots that resemble him) has also been seen in ''another'' Generation 1 universe. One was a citizen of the [[Dead End (place)|Dead End]] of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], its appearance (and poor state of repair) recorded for posterity as [[Scrounge]] rolled through on one of his spy missions. It also bears a striking resemblance to the [[Chromite]] mechanical aliens.

===Unicron Trilogy===
Indications are that the star warriors are native to a universe within the Unicron Trilogy family. In the [[Attacktix]] conflict, they are in an "Intergalactic Showdown" with [[Omega Sentinel]] and those continuities' then-current versions of [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]. Given the name of their encounter and the lack of any scrap of a reference to travel between universes, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor Occam's razor] indicates we should assume that these characters are from another galaxy in the same universe. Since a galaxy outside the Milky Way is by definition far, far away from [[Cybertron]], [[Earth]], and [[Mars|other]] [[Nebulos|planets]] local to the Transformers, encounters with the star warriors being an extreme rarity is no suprise.

Hopefully some day more information on this conflict and its [[Spider-Man|other]] [[Nicholas|participants]] may come to light, though the inclusion of numerous [[Generation 1]] and [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] multiverse Transformers in the conflict casts an odd light on the issue.

===Movie===
In the [[Sector Seven (game)|Sector Seven game]] universe within the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]], [[Reggie Simmons]] and [[John Ho]] attended the premiere of the film ''Star Wars'' at [[Wikipedia:Grauman's_Chinese_Theater|Grauman's Chinese Theater]] on May 25, 1977. This is the same universe in which the film ''Transformers'' (July 4, 2007) is part of a counter-intelligence campaign by Simmons' [[Sector Seven]] organization to discredit claims of the existence of alien robots. Make of that what you will.

Robot Heroes (toyline)

2008-04-05T16:47:46Z

The '''Robot Heroes''' line is the ''Transformers'' entry into [[Hasbro]]'s series of adorable, little-kid-friendly lines of characters from popular franchises. It was preceded by ''[[Star Wars]]'' (in various incarnations, finally now under the name ''Galactic Heroes'') and [[Marvel]] (under the banner ''Superhero Squad'') lines, and has been continued by Indiana Jones (Adventure Heroes), and Toy Story (Toy Chest Heroes).

Each ''Robot Heroes'' figure is approximately two inches tall and constructed of soft, pliable PVC plastic. The characters are sculpted in a [[super-deformed]] style, with exaggerated limbs and smiling expressions (well, for those characters with mouths). Articulation is limited to neck and shoulder swivels (for characters with conventional humanoid bodies, at least). It is notable that the ''Transformers Robot Heroes'' figures are more dynamically posed than most such figures from other franchises.
