Why does everyone fucking censor fucking fuck words now?
Fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck
The censored words make this unreadable
Now compare a Star Destroyer to The Defiant.
The worst “vs” arguments are the ones that invoke, say, Q, and how he’d instantly kill everyone in the Star Wars universe.
WHY WOULD HE?
HE PROBABLY STARTED THE FIGHT SO HE CAN WATCH, YOU NERDS.
Ok but now I want to see Q and Yoda hanging out to see which one gets sick of the other one first
Oh, most definitely Q.
They would both do their best, but Yoda has the piece of mind that would endure Q’s antics.
While Q is a hot head that would get bored fast because none of their usual tricks can get through to Yoda.
I can see Yoda giggling when Q teleports away.
“Science Ship” sure buddy, operating independently in remote locations with light to medium intensity combat situations is a mere science ship.
The millennium falcon would win because it would make a better story and it has a history of assisting small ships destroying large space bases.

This has everything you need to knowThe range thing is also a huge factor. Federation photon torpedos have a range of 300,000 kilometers. Star Wars is pretty inconsistent, but depending on the ship range seems to be maxed out at hundreds of kilometers. They also seem to have poor sensors.
In Star Wars the Scimitar is considered a fast ship, it’s top speed is apparently 1200km/h in atmosphere. IRC that’s half as slow as a present day SR71 blackbird. Trek is inconsistent, but the TNG technical manual says that impulse can reach 0.75c but is usually limited to 0.25c to avoid time dilation issues. C being light speed. So that’s roughly 150 million kms an hour except in emergencies when it’s more than that.
So basically, ships from the star trek universe could simply keep a safe distance, safe in the knowledge the empire’s ships are far too slow to ever catch up conventionally.
As your video points out, trek ships are also shielded. But so are photon torpedos, which at one point allows a photon torpedo to burrow into the stellar core of a sun. So the Death Star isn’t an issue. Just fire a few photon torpedos at it. Apparently the Death Star only had shields to protect against energy weapons, not kinetic shields because that would block heat escaping the exhaust ports.
Then there’s the whole teleportation thing.
And replicators.
And cloaking.
And red matter.
…
The longer you think about it, the sillier the comparison gets basically.
I agree that Star Trek is on a completely different power scale than Star Wars, but comparing an in-atmosphere flight speed to interplanetary impulse speed is pretty disingenuous. Obviously there are physical factors that limit one of those but not the other.
Starfleet shields are impervious to laser-based weapons. The Millennium Falcon would get curb stomped.
