Well they both seem faithful and they both really suck when it comes to killing anyone. I would say that stormtroppers are how Lucas envisions futurestic orcs... ahh what they heck, I'll embrace the future: Stormtrooper.

Okay, I just ran into a site that's tipping me to the side of ninjas.

They have REAL ULTIMATE POWER, Scott. You can't argue with REAL ULTIMATE POWER.

Toni:

Don't believe the hype.

Believe Google Fight:

pirate

versus

ninja
( 935 000 results)

Pirates win, hands down.

Remove the Computer pirates, the software pirates etc from your google search and I bet Ninja's would win.

As far as Orc v.s. Stormtrooper? Storm Trooper. Orcs don't have At-Ats or Speeders

But they do have Oliphants, Cave Trolls, and Balrogs.

Lets compare:

Stormtroopers: Run away when Han Solo/Ewoks come after them.

Orcs: Run Away when their own ally comes charging after their enemy. (note: movie orcs only)

Stormtroopers: Fall for Jedi mind trick, "Oh no, my comlink doesn't work" trick, "We've got them on the run, please open the blast doors" trick.

Orcs: Get angry and kill each other, giving orc armies a half life of approximately 37 days.

Stormtroopers: Have wimpy plastic looking armor, that wouldn't stop a pellet gun.

Orcs: Have faces that look like Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon did a job on them. While drunk.

Winner: Orcs. Lord of the Rings trumps Star Wars on the fangeek scale.

Dan: Nonetheless, the mystique of Pirates is obviously stronger than that of Ninjas.

Pirates rule.

Orcs vs. Storm troopers depends on the situation.

Given free reign to choose weaponry and equipment the storm troopers win hands down.
Blasters vs. crude metel swords
oliphants vs. titanium platted speeders/walkers/etc...
come on, in this situation technology wins the battle.

However, pit them against eachother in hand to hand combat... In this case I think the orcs have it. They are far more ruthless, evil, and used to close combat. It's likely a storm trooper would find himself a meal to an orc only to have his bones used as a crude club of somesort later on.

Lets take a look at their creation:

Orcs--Big evil lord clones excellent fighters--(elves). However, degenerate early cloning facilities creates flawed designs, more aggresive but less skilled and less intelligent creature.

Storm Troopers--Big evil lord clones excellent fighter--Boba Fett. However, ultra-modern cloning facilities creates a milder, more obiediant, less intelligant creature.

Result:

Hey, they are the same thing, except Storm Troopers are the result of more advanced technology, have more advanced weaponry, and are produced in signifigantly larger numbers. (Hundred's of thousands of Orcs v.s. Millions of stormtroopers)

While the orcs have an advantage with pure savagery, the Troopers have numbers, technology, and an improved cloning software.

The Storm Troopers couldn't beat the Ewoks, a people with more or less the same technology as the Orcs.

Shouldn't the contest, then, be Orcs vs. Ewoks?

Is it not one of pop-cultures great ironies that the character of one of the best screen-pirates of all time was molded on one of the best rock guitarists of all time?

I'm starting to think that somehow Jack Sparrow had real ultimate power. Holy crap, what a breakthrough.

It depeneds on the ninja. According to most nija mvies, it seems they get killed like 50 at at a time by the one good or bad guy.

It's important to point out that very often the single good/bad guy killing all of the ninjas is also a ninja.

good point!
Ninjas are trained in killing, pirates are trained in looting, Ninjas master their bodies, mind, and weapons. Pirates master the seas.
