Who would win

Given the simplicity of such weapons, the Borg would have adapted to them using their scanning devices. This would have rendered all the Imperial weapons useless. Given the lack of energy shields in SW, the Borg would have no trouble beaming over to any Imperial vessel.

How exactly do you "adapt" to a directed energy weapon?

Plus, where do you get the "no shields" in SW? They ALL have shields, except for your basic TIE fighter.

Finally...the Force always wins.

Death Star. Anyday.

Immediately I think of the mental state of the Empire's troops. A lot of them were buffoons, just regular guys in stormtrooper outfits.

I think the Borg would overrun them. I am already picturing Vader with a Borg implant sticking out of the side of his head. The Emperor... well, they would just keep his head kinda like the Borg Queen.

As for the battle between the Death Star and the Borg ship, it really wouldn't matter because in the grand scheme of things, the Borg would assimilate and conquer anyway.

You are thinking of SpaceBalls.

As with all SW vs ST combat debates, ST always wins because the technology in SW is so completely unfeasible. All the technology in ST is based off current scientific/phsyics theories.

Alright, I'm not near a big enough nerd to understand all that y'all are jabbering about, but I've got to say this:

How the hell does that argument work? One work of *fiction* is better than the other work of *fiction* because it's closer to non-fiction? Is it just me, or are you an eejit?

my thought exactly
by the way bateluer has set up the argument, it sounds like SW is superior, but people just dont like to give the win to them because their weapons are 'unfeasable'

The Death Star is not equipped with shields, as evidenced by in A New Hope when Luke fires the lasers of his X-Wing onto the surface of the Death Star. The 2nd DS didn't have shields either, rather, they had to be projected from the surface. The Borg would have detected that station almost instantly and destroyed it, rendering the 2nd DS effectively defenceless.

edit - As far as adapting to directed energy weapons, the Borg have always done that. From their first appearence in TNG Q-Who to the season finale of Voyager.
