youtube.com — A video on YouTube that finally answers the old Internet forum question of: Who would win in a battle between the Enterprise and an Imperial Star Destroyer? Very clever editing of the original movie/show footage and dialog, combined with CGI.

"It isn't real, get over it."Neither is your fictional sex-life. Anyone who accuses people of being virgins is either one themself, or still at the age where virginity has some kind of significance. Once you get past the age of 18ish, the only time you'd ever use the word 'virgin' is when talking about Richard Branson's company or Jesus Christ's mother.As for the video, great stuff.

Ok. Your mom is calling. She says the streetlights just came on, and you need to head home for dinner.

Yeah, except Q would probably decide he didn't feel like helping and let the Enterprise get squashed. Actually, it would turn out that he was responsible for bringing the Star Wars guys into the Star Trek universe in the first place.

afaik crusher never made it into the playboy... one big point for leia besides killing jabba ;)

dude... Star wars has primitive technology. Probably equal to the early days of the federation. If real federation attack ships were to be sent in Star wars ships would be owned.

A galaxy far far away, a long time ago was probably our galaxy floating through the vasty nothingness of space, and through a series of events star wars uni collapses, star trek universe comes out, then that corrupts and then serenity verse comes about. You can throw in whatever mix of Stargate, Battlestar, hell, even give Kevin Sorbo the double duty of Hercules and Andromeda, and you can still weave a story together that merges all the various multiverses.Choke on the thought of that continuity bitches.

Darth Maul's tiny Sith Infiltrator had cloaks
ghoststalker170Jul 19, 2006
I’ve been sitting here reading all these comments and they are all very good., but you forget that in Star Trek they have phase cloaking which can let a ship be cloaked and untouchable by anything. With the possible exception to the Borg, who may eventually figure out a way to overcome phase cloaking, nobody would be able to stand a chance against them. Plus, if they really got into serious trouble then they could always time travel and pick up Capt. Kirk and crew and the Federation would win hands down afterwards Kirk would conquer Lea and the other women of Star Wars!

Even though SW has some pretty impressive specs in their tech manuals, the technology doesn't match the movies. First off if it would take "a thousand (SW) ships to destroy a planet" as not quite accurately quoted from Han Solo in the original movie, then where do these ships get the firepower from in the tech manuals? From the specs in the SW manuals, each (SW) starship should be able to destroy a planet, with no need for the Death Star. Why bother building a big cumbersome globe when a quicker, smaller ship will do? The reason: the people who wrote the tech manuals for SW weren't thinking. They're just writing something to make believe the ships in SW are more powerful than ST. SW ships have lasers (or blasters as they're called in the movies). We have lasers in the here and now, just not maybe the portable ones like in SW. If Boba Fetts ship is so powerful, why couldn't it easily blasted the entire landing deck that Leia was standing on when he was flying away? That's because of lasers. A ST hand phaser, on the other hand, when set at maximum level can take out the side of a building, or easily carve rock.Also, in SW the Millenium Falcon was said to hit point five above light speed, that's one and a half the speed of light to all you SW fans. Wow. A ST ship can hit point five light speed at Impulse, and light speed is multiplied at Warp, going much faster than the Falcon. And, the Star Destroyer couldn't even catch the Falcon, meaning the Destroyer had a lesser speed. Then again, they also said the Falcon could be "half way across the galaxy by now", must be a small galaxy. That could be an exaggeration by the character, of course. The deal is that SW fans saw what the ST writers said the ST weapons were capable of, and just greatly exaggerated what the SW weapons can do. Very childish. It's like one kid saying "My Dad can lift 100 pounds (ST)." Then another saying "Oh yeah? Well my Dad can lift a MILLION pounds (SW)!" We can go on and on about this, but just watch the technology in the movies and TV shows. The rest is not canon, just wishful thinking. But, SW is still just a fantasy show, so anything goes. They don't adhere to anything they've said before, nor do they care. They just write whatever they want, and rake in the dough. That's why I became a fan of ST, and stopped it with SW. ST (except arguably ENTERPRISE) stays with what is written. Sometimes something slips through that's wrong, but it happens with all the hours of ST that's written. Hey, here's my impression of a SW fan: my ship has a billion trillion gagillion gigawatts of power! Oh yeah, compensating for something, SW?

This last comment is exactly what I was talking about. Nothing in Star Wars film even suggests any of this, and some whacko writes some astronomical number for shields, for instance, saying that "will stop anything from getting through". Wow, I feel better about Star Trek already. You can't claim your side is impossible to defeat, that's no fun. Rebelscumbag, if all you say is true, i.e. Vader could have crushed that 'puny ship' with the force. Why was he defeated? Answer: because SW isn't as well thought out as you think. And here we go with SW overcompensating again. As soon as you realize ST has better villans, some SW author creates an almost undefeatable enemy, not realizing it's not that interesting. Those Yuuzhan Vong are weak copies of what the Borg (or more specifically Species 8472) are. Get original, please. Sw uses lasers, and minimal shields. Deal with it. Just be happy that it makes for better story telling, that's why all those powerful weapons that are in the novels are not on film. It's not interesting that someone can blow up the galaxy without even trying. Yawn.

Some of you guys have got to read Star wars vs. Star trek in five minutes. If you did and went to www.stardestroyer.net/Empire you would see star wars kicks Star treks butt.

Oh and by the way I was talking about the Empire vs. the Federation alone!
