Star Wars is the catch-all banner for an intergalactic conflict between several factions of humanoid aliens and robots engaged in an intergalactic war.
Known factions include: Jedi, Sith, Rebel, and Separatist.
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 apparently sentient beings like true Cybertronian Transformers. 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.
Size matters not?
Perhaps similar to the inhabitants of Femax, these fearsome beings, though in many cases strikingly human-like, appear to be of a gigantic stature, equaling the size of many Transformers! This came to light when, along with their own internal conflicts, they also battled the Transformers of the Unicron Trilogy universe directly, (as depicted in the Star Wars vs. Transformers Attacktix game).
In the few illustrations we have of them in combat with actual Transformers the Star Warriors are clearly the stature of a larger Transformer such as Megatron or Optimus Prime. 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.
Whether the star warriors and Unicron Trilogy Transformers are native to a common universe, or whether one group traveled to the other's universe from elsewhere remains unknown. However, a pair of mechanoids similar to two droids that are known participants in the Star Wars have been seen in the 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. Corroborating what other examples suggest, these droids appear to be of a Transformeresque stature.
The tall droid, or robots that resemble him, has also been seen elsewhere. He was a citizen of the Dead End, his 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.
