The empire probably wins army vs. army.



However, they would still have Sauron to deal with ... and so long as the ring exists, the most they could accomplish is to destroy his physical form. He cannot be "killed".



Details:

Orcs, Haradrim, Easterlings, Variags, Trolls, Half-Trolls, Wargs, Uruk hai, Black Uruks: Still biological beings. No amount of swords or brute strength can cut down an AT-AT or deflect blaster fire from the myriad of empire troopers or tanks. In addition, the empire has no need to even get close. This can all be done outside of striking distance of Sauron's army.



Mumakil: Easliy cut down from a great distance by AT-ATs, TIE bombers, TX130s etc



Fell Beasts: Easy pickings for Tie Fighters



In the end, the Nazgul would still be alive, but helpless to do anything about the empire. While it cannot "kill" them, fire is their weakness, and the empire can drum up plenty of that with no problems. They would have no choice but to flee.



The dragons would be the only forimdable enemy ... but considering how quickly the empire would wipe out the rest of the army ... their entire force could focus fire on the dragons and they would fall rather quickly. The underbelly of dragons is vulnerable to attack. Smaug was an exception because he had lain on the horde of gold for so long that gold and jewels were encrusted into his scales protecting his underbelly. An average dragon would not have that benefit.

This is a curbstomp for the Galactic Empire. The main reason why they win is because of technology. This battle would be the equivalent of the US army fighting knights during medieval Europe. All of the troopers have laser based firearms so they pick off all of Sauron's army since they have inferior weapons. The 600 pilots is severe overkill. 3 At-ATs were able to defeat the rebel army at the battle of Hoth, whom the rebels have laser based weapons. Since that is true, how much more damage would 50 AT-ATs at an army that have swords, spears, and bows. The TIE flying crafts are much faster than the Nazguls. One bombing run from all of the 150 TIE bombers can destroy pretty much all of Sauron's army.

Even with the dragons and other creatures (Not to familiar with Middle Earth mythology), the Galactic Empire's air superiority ensures defeat. An air force is really the deciding factor in a battle. Whereas Sauron's army can take days to cover miles, the TIE fighters and Bombers have already matched that distance. Dragons are the only weapon which could give them an edge, but fireballs are pretty much useless against screaming metal. Reptilian skin, too, is next to defenseless against laser bursts.



Moreover, laser pistols and rifles and plasma batteries are equipped to takeout targets far away-more so than a crossbow which is unlikely to pierce Empire armor.
