Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Maybe, but if it was a movie who would you cheer for, the massively overpowered enterprise just blowing up a space minivan or the David vs Goliath battle where two friends with a crossbow takes on a US Space ship and triumphantly makes the impossible possible
Plot ~~armor~~ deflector screens.
But it isn't a movie, it is a battle between the 2.
We are rooting for either because we want to see who will win.
It's all just a big misunderstanding!
I mean, the Millennium Falcon and the Defiant would make for a good scrap, not sure if even that's too much of a mismatch.
Maybe the Millennium Falcon Vs the Delta Flyer.
Considering the number of actual stations, the delta flyer is the only fair match to the millennium falcon. The defiant still has a crew of about 80
Well if you put it that way... Weedman and Crossbro let's go bay-bee!!
Wouldn't the Enterprise just beam them directly to the brig?
They'd probably hold the Falcon in a tractor beam. We know the Falcon hates tractor beams.
Only one of these vessels has done the Kessel run in 7 parsecs
12 parsecs. 7 is impossible even with shortcuts through the ion storms
I think a better match is Enterprise vs Star Destroyed.
There is actually a very funny video on that on Youtube somewhere. Short version: Picard is wholly unimpressed.
But does the enterprise dump its trash?
iirc it gets reused in the replicator
Honestly an X-Wing would likely fare better than the Falcon. Proton torpedoes, and small enough to evade their ~~turbo lasers~~ phasers
You do know those phasers are at the speed of light and auto target, right?
You can't really dodge them, only deflect them.
I was making an admittedly weak reference to the death star trench run dialog. Not serious
Honestly I find these types of questions silly since we have no way to compare the efficiency and efficacy of the different weapon and shielding types, or other on board tech and countermeasures.
For all we know the falcon's shields absorb phasers like they're paper and its turret lasers eat the Enterprise's shield at 5% per bolt. Or it could be the other way around. Not to mention this completely ignores tactics and strategy which is a huge part of it. The Falcon doesn't do direct confrontation for a reason. Han is more likely to try to fake a surrender and then pull some shit once aboard for negotiations.
And if we're just gonna say "Trek tech is more advanced than Wars tech" we can just end the discussion there 🤷♀️
It's really hard to compare fantasy and sci fi too. Space acts different in star wars, it has wind resistance like properties as an example.
Totally. The fact is, once a society is beyond intra-stellar travel, with craft that do not do atmospheric flight, there is little reason not to go full borg and have ships with no real forward-facing direction to speak of
