Henry Chester the Lazer sword is Not only weak but ineffective and inefficient against Star Trek. Also your tie fighters and Millennium Falcons has no Chance against the USS. Enterpise NCC-1701-D because it’s phasers can easily penetrate Star Wars shields, literally any Star Wars shield has no match for Star treks shields. Star Wars is a joke, all it is, is stupid battle ships that look like they took out of the u.s navy and made a space version of it. Also Star Wars is joke because they run around with swords like it’s the medieval days. Everyone is Star Wars are Barbaric and uncivilized. Star Trek is actually realistic unlike Star Wars. Not only that but Star Wars ships can’t activate their hyperdrive when ever they want while Star Trek ships can enter warp speed at any time they want. Star Trek is a 53 year old series of movies and shows and still to this day making more and more trek while Star Wars is a 42 year old series of movies and shows but Star Wars is beginning to fade away. Without Star Trek there would be no Star Wars because Star Wars was inspired by Star Trek. So your argument is mute.
I think it could work. It would be a comedy / slapstick themes film. It would be a film made purely for fun and wouldn't be canonical obviously. Maybe they could do it in a animated form? It seems highly, highly unlikely it will happen. At least for now. In future maybe, as studios become less fragmented. Who knows, maybe Disney will buy Star Trek one day?
They should make 2 movies about the same event just from different perspectives, one could be "Star Trek XIV: Star Wars" and the other could be "Star Wars episode IX: Crossover"
the enterprise should have shrugged everything till the death star hit her and that should have been what collapsed her shields because 8472's bioship weapons could blow up a planet and since the enterprises shield are stronger then voyagers and voyagers shield could take an 8472 hit before collapsing the enterprise should be able to at least take one death start hit before hers failed as well and then they should use the death star run from star trek Picard season 3 episode 10 to have the enterprise go for the death stars reactor
What I like about this video is that it doesn't disrespect either franchise, in fact in my eyes is probably the most accurate scenario that could happen if the Empire collided with the Enterprise. It's also not tongue in cheek as so many other videos seem to be. I don't really care for those.
Hands down, this is the best Star Trek vs. Star Wars video in terms of respecting both sides. You can debate the exact balancing (for instance, I highly doubt the Enterprise could take out a Super Star Destroyer), but the video clearly didn't mock either side.
Actually, both vessels in their universes are reported of being capable of similar feats (scotching planet surface - e.g. Starfleet General Order 24) - but they are just vastly different. Federation and most of ST ships more flexible shielding and I'd say superior ship to ship weapon, maneuverability and are capable of all aspect firing. Star Destroyers are bigger, slower but in addition to strong if inflexible shielding carry substantial armour, but have firepower focused forward. TIE fighters - no match for Federation capital ship. Sensors - comparable. However, Imperial Fleet obviously has advantage in strategic mobility but tactially - well creative use of transporters.... and overall, Starfleet has more competent commanders than typical imperial run-of-the-mill captain.
Who's watching this in 2019? This is still so funny and it even has a end credit scene! Kinda.... the PC specs were so awesome, such a laff and the past hehe
+Ooty Outram Remastered Making a movie like this would be *dangerous*. If word gets out that the Empire committed an act of aggression against the United Federation of Planets, they could sympathize and join forces with the Rebellion.
EmpiricalPragmatist Star Wars ships always, and I repeat *always* fight at visual range. Transporters have a range of tens of thousands of kilometers. Star Wars ships would never even know what hit them.
drksideofthewal "Star Wars ships always, and I repeat always fight at visual range." Uh, and Star Trek ships don't? I can only think of one exception, and that was when firing at a stationary target, which today's missiles can do... "Star Wars ships would never even know what hit them" Yes, because nothing _would_ hit them. Transporters can be blocked/rendered thoroughly inoperable by anything from shields and super-dense materials to ambient radiation. SW ships have all three of those things, plus high levels of jamming interference, so you're smoking your socks if you think it's reasonable to assume transporters would just work on them. Seriously, why is it so hard for Trekkies to think these things through?
EmpiricalPragmatist "Uh, and Star Trek ships don't? I can only think of one exception, and that was when firing at a stationary target, which today's missiles can do..." Most of the time, Star Trek ships don't fight at visual range. That's just clever editing. Sometimes they do, but unlike Star Wars, they have the option not to. For example, In the TNG episode "The Wounded" the USS Phoenix engaged Cardasian warships at 300,000 kilometers. I repeat, Star Wars ships have *never* engaged at beyond visual range. They're incapable of it. "Yes, because nothing would hit them. Transporters can be blocked/rendered thoroughly inoperable by anything from shields and super-dense materials to ambient radiation." Shields? Star Wars ships don't run with their shields up all the time, only when they sense danger. Radiation? Star Wars ships don't emit massive amounts of radiation. Certainly not enough to disrupt a transporter signal. Super dense material? A Star Destroyer's hull isn't any thinker, or denser, than the hull of a Borg Cube, which transporters can beam through. Take those excuses, and throw them out the window. "Seriously, why is it so hard for Trekkies to think these things through?" This made me LOL. Hypocritical humor is the best. ;)
drksideofthewal "Star Trek ships don't fight at visual range. That's just clever editing" Please tell me that was a joke. You see the ships face to face *all the time*. Just about touching noses. Your example of TNG: _The Wounded_ is the ONLY exception. Trying to pretend it's just one of many cases is disingenuous. "but unlike Star Wars, they have the option not to" That's also rubbish. If they could engage at longer range, why on Earth wouldn't they? Because they suffer from a lack of firepower, accuracy, or more likely both, at any greater ranges than the 1-2 kms we see them engage at all the time. "Shields? Star Wars ships don't run with their shields up all the time, only when they sense danger." An enemy ship on an intercept course _is_ danger. Besides, some shields run full time, such as the one covering the Endor moon. "Radiation? Star Wars ships don't emit massive amounts of radiation. Certainly not enough to disrupt a transporter signal. " And what do you base that claim on, pray? Sucking your thumb? Actually, in Star Wars broad-spectrum signal jamming is commonplace. Jamming is never even mentioned in Trek, and on the rare occasion that some alien of the week blocks their transporter signal, they act as if it's some weird unconventional tactic. This child-like innocence and naiveté makes them totally unused to dealing with the kind of jamming that makes the Rebellion unable to get a shield reading on the DS II in Episode VI. "Super dense material? A Star Destroyer's hull isn't any thinker, or denser, than the hull of a Borg Cube, which transporters can beam through." Again, complete thumb-suck. An ISD's hull is neutronium impregnated. You don't get anything denser than that outside a black hole. Got anything besides made-up nonsense to add?

I remember this video back in 2006. Unemployed, no life, no school, no car, no girlfriend, no nothing. Just me, my internet friends, all night gaming in Starcraft Broodwar with MSN voice chat.
I remember back in 2010- 2012 there were bunch of Star Wars fans and Star Trek fans that would argue over specs all day and all night like they didn’t have a life and that they would spam or dislike each other’s comments so that their point wouldn’t show. It was wild 😂
I remember when I first saw this video, I only knew the Star Wars things and knew nothing about Star Trek. Now I have watched all of the Star Trek movies, Voyager, TNG, DS9 and Enterprise.
+The Ninth Doctor war has changed, its no longer fought on battle zones, but now in youtube comment sections, and thru fanboys with bullshit instead of soldiers and weapons
Commander1991NOR Data would just shut it down and move the ship out of range and then blast the destroyer since they can't maneuver worth a damn..\ #SittingDucks
You can outmaneuver a star destroyer perhaps but you cannot outmaneuver the force. s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/c4/51/ea/c451eaf8fd9fb37c1b1b9b0fd2ff66d0.jpg
Kåre Helgesen I know you are a trekkie but let me explain it to you.Rocks and metal does not have midi-chlorians in them yet they can still be manipulated by the force. The midi-chlorian count just allows you to use the force(when in high concentration).Eventhough the star trek universe don't have midi-chlorians does not mean that the force won't work. As long as darth vader has midi-chlorians in his body he can tap into the force and manipulate all things being organic or non-organic.
Commander1991NOR I don't mind using Kare's logic for the debate, but by the same token there is no Q Continuum in the SW galaxy therefore no Q can exert any influence either. This basically means trekkies are *&#_@ed anyway.
My real issue isn't Star Trek vs Star Wars, it's the fight between the fans. First, let's accept that they are both completely different shows. Star Wars is a Fairy tale, written by George Lucas who admits he had no idea how large the Galaxy really was or even how fast light would travel in a year. His focus wasn't the technical side, but was completely story driven. It was a story of good versus evil and he told it in a way that so many people, including me, could relate to and enjoy. George had no idea HOW the Millennium Falcon could go so fast, or even what .10 past the speed of light translated to. He Wrote a story that was larger than a single world and therefor has to have space ships in it to fully tell his story. That said, the story of Star Wars, the First three released being the ones I love most and the ones I reference for this comment, is one that is timeless, as I was there on day one, when it hit theaters and am still here to see the story finally "end". Now, Star Trek is almost completely opposite. Star Trek: The Original Series Creator Gene Roddenberry spent years talking to NASA about Lasers, phasers, Warp Drives and every other theoretical space ship design and components to make the show stand up to the scrutiny he knew it was going to face. Even today, Top scientists in space travel and even Quantum Physics cannot find fault with Gene's original ship design. Even his explanation of how the ships travels far faster than the speed of light holds up against scrutiny. The Story falls to the ship and the hope of the Human Race actually coming together and exploring this Galaxy. The Story, even down to the personal ones, spent much of the time showing what could be, and little else. There wasn't a set of story lines like in Star Wars, no good versus evil, no Knights (Jedi Knights) and no strong story to rest on. Yes, there are stories, but they last about what, 40 minutes each? So, Star Wars and Star Trek are only the same type of show if you count them both being in space. If you go by Technology, Star Trek wins only by the facts. The Show is bases completely on technological facts or Probabilities. He developed "Warp Drive" that, in Theory, would allow a ship to travel at speeds well above the speed of light without traveling backwards in time. The Voyage Home accented this theory quite well. So, in closing, they are two completely different shows with two completely different agendas. Star Wars was story driven, and driven beautifully as I still go to it at least twice a year, and Star Trek, which is Tech. Driven, and driven well enough that Gene's Ideas still hold up since the 1960s when the show first aired.
@@gokulkrishm51 star trek does it both for me. I roll my eyes whenever they start babbling about the force in star wars... Am I the only one who wants to know how the fighters and starships actually work in star wars?
''Star Trek Federation power generation technology is extremely limited. None of their battlestations are mobile, their starship power generation systems are extremely inefficient, and even the most optimistic quantifications of their power generation systems indicate that their power output is less than 1% of a Star Destroyer's power output. Even a heavily-armed space station like DS9 is limited to terawatt-range power generation, based on deuterium fusion. Starships are limited to mere gigawatt-range power output! They have been unable to produce planetary shields or move planets as we have, and their crewmembers appear to have very poor scientific knowledge (based on their repeated mistakes).''
l watched this as a kid, my step dad was a star trek geek, l was like did you ever see the episode where they fight ppl in star wars, he looked at me all crazy 😂😂
This is one of the first videos I remember watching online. I absolutely love Picard's face at 4:27. He's just like..."who the fuck is this guy?" I also like to think that the music actually blasts through the speakers while the Emperor talks, and it's not just bad editing. Also, 6:40. Cmd. *Ricker*? *Vador*? *Sithious*? Okay that last one is kinda cool...
Very cool! Such a neat way you mixed it, I am impressed. It looks like it came right out of the 1980's! [Haha, I know it's poor quality, but it made it better to me.]
Darth Vader could just kill Picard and everyone on the bridge just by seeing them on the view screen and using his force choke, or possibly mind trick Worf into going on a killing spree.
It should have ended at 1:01 - vader just reaches out his hand, sqeezes it and captain whatever his name is just chokes and dies. Both series are awesome but i prefer the geeky coolness of star wars. Both awesome though
Star trek would annihilate Star wars. Lasers can't even penetrate navigational shields on star trek. The death star could never hit a moving target unless it was the size of a planet. It's simple people. Star wars loves to use fighters and those fighter pilots against any 24th century starship is a suicide mission. How can Star Wars defend against a transporter. Especially if your beaming quantum torpedoes. The death star was destroyed with two missiles or nukes. Star trek wouldn't even have to fly inside the death star. Just beam a quantum torpedo inside and it's all over.
***** Okay, tell me then, what part of transporting onto an enemy ship that has shields and high-density hull armour and which _can shoot you_ if you drop your shields in order to use transporters is common sense?How is a SW fighter attacking an ST ship suicide? They can't even shoot down their own clumsy, wallowing dead-slow torps, never mind a SW fighter.Did you actually think about what you were saying before you declared this stuff to be common sense, or was it just your inner fanboy speaking?
Why, because of the mere suggestion that someone has an "inner fanboy"? I think if you read more of the comments here, you'll quickly find that I'm one of the tamest people on this page. Especially with people who are civil to me as well. Maybe you just don't like my conclusions...
EmpiricalPragmatist the death star shields was taken out by rebel commando team. the death star can only fire in one direction. A defiant class starship cloaked comes in from any angle where the death star only gun isn't facing, decloakes and beams a quantum torpedo inside its all over. They only need 2 seconds to pull this of recloak and get out of there.
Rondu01 Rofl. Did you just imply that the Death Star only has one gun? Seriously, I would be wasting my time debating you when your level of knowledge on the subject is so low (and lots of your other statements show mass ignorance as well). If you want to debate the subject, at least put _a little_ effort into knowing it first... _Then_ I'll bother debating you.
The good memories watching this on an ol crappy vista dell desktop with its aesthetic and then my first videos I see is this.. well made, and nostalgic too. Dang it’s been so long
I love this debate, but honestly Star Wars Fanboys with no regard for Federation tech irritate me. Not to mention most of the biased group against Star Trek usually don't even know their EU history nor do they realize the numerous flaws the Empire contains
I know right? Like reactor cores with no dead man's switch devices, that routinely blow up their own ships, and elite bridge crews who don't know the difference between joules and watts. Oh, wait, that's all Star Trek...
EmpiricalPragmatist At least Star Trek TRIES to support their weaponry. Star Wars gives us ridiculous power outputs for millennia old weapons that somehow still surpass the modern day imperial tech. Seriously, that's why i don't buy into the whole x-wing vs enterprise argument its freaking BS the rebel proton torpedo (which is outfitted with a nuclear warhead) is claimed to be more powerful than the Photon torpedo (powered by antimatter) there's no contest here
Bob Jeankins The photon torpedo is stated to have a maximum payload of 1.5 kgs of matter and the same amount of anti-matter, giving a theoretical maximum yield of roughly 64 megatons. This is only about 10% larger than the yield of the Tsar Bomba, the largest *real* thermonuclear warhead detonated to date. (Though possibly not the largest _constructed_). It is hardly unrealistic to think that a society as advanced as the Alliance could significantly improve on our 1960s technology. Also, where did you read that the proton torpedo was a nuclear weapon? Also, most Imperial firepower figures are based on generously pessimistic scaling of the firepower demonstrated by the Death Star and in the TESB asteroid vapourization scenes.
EmpiricalPragmatist In a Star Wars vehicle encyclopedia. Great book, had tech from the EU as well. You see that's what I mean, There's always methods to improve nuclear weaponry, but there is absolutely no contest when it comes to nuclear vs antimatter. Starfleet vessels operate under the source and scan destroy planets singlehandedly without the need for a huge super weapon. Don't forget the Genesis torpedo's available for mass production. And those aside, it has been implied many times throughout the series Starfleet posses the power to destroy or eradicate life on planets. The reason they do not is because they are rarely involved in total war and the ethical and moral transgression this would infringe upon in the prime directive. Starfleet also has the ability of time travel, increased speed, manverability and versatility, and pretty much every other 'strategic' advantage. Just from reading the "Art of War" by Sun Tzu, its easy to derive there is really no contest. in a full scale war the logistics and strategy of Starfleet would decimate the Empire.
Bob Jeankins "but there is absolutely no contest when it comes to nuclear vs antimatter" Firstly, I should point out that it's not the _method_ that will have the greatest impact on your power generation, but rather the _efficiency_. The idea that all or even most of your payload matter will actually undergo fission/fusion/annihilation is only theoretical, and getting that to be practical is what would really count, since most of the matter is scattered before it can be used. Thus advances in efficiency could easily outweigh whether you're using thermo-nuclear of M/AM reaction warheads. Secondly, if you want to compare power generation methods, you have to remember that the Death Stars employed a hypermatter reactor, pulling reactor fuel directly into the reactor from anywhere in space. That's always going to beat both the methods mentioned above. "Starfleet vessels operate under the source and scan destroy planets singlehandedly without the need for a huge super weapon" They can not. There is one episode where they worry that they could wipe out _all life_ on the planet (and that only due to a highly volatile atmosphere that they might set off), but never any mention of destroying the planet itself. "Don't forget the Genesis torpedo's available for mass production" Forget it? Where is that mentioned? How come they never used them? Don't say ethics, because Section 31 would've used them during the Dominion and Borg wars anyway *if they could*. "this would infringe upon in the prime directive" The prime directive only even applies to pre-warp civilizations... "Starfleet also has the ability of time travel, increased speed, manverability and versatility, and pretty much every other 'strategic' advantage" Nonsense. Time travel is so risky that it's done more often by accident than on purpose, it has a very short time range, and it is never used to solve problems like wars _ever_. Clearly of limited use. As for speed, SW ships travel between their galactic core and the outer rim in less than a day usually, whereas Voyager (one of the fastest Fed ships of its time) took _75 years_ and an entire series to crawl across *one quadrant of the galaxy*, even with the aid of wormholes, experimental techs, and the occasional shove from a god-like being! SW ships MASSIVELY outpace ST ships, and could bypass Fed ships without even fighting them, and bombard their pitifully defended home-worlds (all 150 of them) into submission before their defense fleets could even catch up, effectively winning the war before it's even started. Now *that* is more like Sun Tzu's Art of War!
regaurdless of the facts about SW or ST, this movie while choppy(completely fair considering all the splicing that went on) was masterfully done, and very fun to watch, thank you. and keep up with it
Conclusion Federation shield technology is clearly in the low megaton range for resistance. The evidence for this is simply overwhelming, regardless of whether you employ the TM or not, and since Imperial shields are rated at a much higher level, there is really no contest at all. The high-megaton and gigaton-class missile weapons of a patrol craft like Slave-1 could effortlessly destroy any Federation warship with a direct hit, to say nothing of the much heavier weapons on an Imperial capital ship.
To quote a Star Trek TNG episode: "Captain, they are now locking lasers on us." "Lasers?" "Yes, sir." "Lasers can't even penetrate our navigation shields"
Correction: The Defiant class is far smaller than the ~625m Galaxy Class, (not sure of the dimensions exactly), so not quite. What IS fun, though, is that they can't dodge one that's moving at a measly +-12m/s! :) Also fun to compare the manoeuvering abilities of the photon torpedoes with Luke's ANH one, which made a 72,000g, 90 degree turn. :)
Man. I love Star Trek, and Star Wars. I've never identified as either. But that shit is crazy. Sure, I can see the Enterprise maybe taking down an Imperial Star Destroyer.. but the Death Star? The motherfuckin' Death Star!? Nah man. If Picard hadn't ordered the Enterprise to leave, they'd have been deader than fried chicken.
Gramps ford torpedoes in star trek never had the need to make a 72,000g turn. Think of the logistics of what it took for Luke's torpedo to go into the exhaust port and not touch anything on the way down. the torpedo entering the exhaust port with its nose point down at 90 degrees parallel to the walls of the port would be crucial. The torpedo in star trek VI would not have been blocked by anything. All they had to do was hit a roughly 400m ship so they can lock on to it with other torpedoes. Luke had to send a perfectly aligned torpedo through a 2m wide exhaust port all the way to the reactor. There was also a giant neutronium tower directly above the port. Furthermore, wedge stated that his equipment could see the tower but not the port. This was probably do to powerful jamming or some method the tower could use to hide a heat signature. Luke's torpedo had very little space to maneuver into the correct angle. This is the entire reason for the trench run in the first place. I don't know how I can make this any more simple for you. If you still don't like the fact that luke's torpedo did something seemingly impossible the force is "broken". Luke used no targeting computer to pull off the feat either. it was a deus ex machine plot device in every sense of the definition.
The Federation has the techknowledgy to disassemble atoms and reassemble atoms to the exact same form and transport those atoms across space at the same time,once the shields were down which wouldn't be a problem as Han Solo hot wired the freaking shield generator doors open,after he got there to the planetary surface with no problem the Feds could take out the shield generator with a phaser strike from outer space ,the Feds could beam a photon torpedo to the exact same spot Lukes torpedo …or they could use the same tech they used in the beaming process to guide the torpedoes
Operator it wasn't a shielded planet Han Solo got in there,and they could beam a torpedo along the same route Lukes shot were fired beam it through the exhaust port and along the route ,if a transporter can dissemble atoms and reassemble them it can disassemble a live torpedo and beam it to or along what ever coordinates it were programed ,the Feds have shown the ability to think outside the box
MadnessIncTV It had to be a shielded planet otherwise the rebel capital ships would have done this static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060824051144/starwars-exodus/images/6/6f/Base-Delta-Zero.jpg rather than using imperial codes to bypass the shield and take it out on the inside. Also what makes you think they can bypass something they have never been shown to bypass onscreen. Even granite gives them trouble.
Operator 1, Han Solo got onto the planet and 2 Han Solo got right up to the shield generator,what powerful sensors around the shield generator doorway around the shield generator period, anybody getting with in miles of such an important piece of equipment means the security is severely lacking just on a basic level, never mind the fact a saboteur and a whole band of Ewoks could be swarming around it, all your claims make no sense
Han Solo needed a stolen shuttle with imperial codes to even get on the planet and Vader gave the order to lower the shield. They wouldn't have even been on the planet if that didn't happen. Why even bother with the ordeal if the endor moon did not have a shield that could prevent any bombardment? Given your lack of a coherent answer to this question I'd say your point makes no sense, as usual. "anybody getting with in miles of such an important piece of equipment means the security is severely lacking just on a basic level" -the moon of endor was actually part of a protected planet treaty and considered a lot like a national park. There were natives walking around everywhere, a bunch of sensor pings would have probably turned out to be animals or native hunting parties. As a result, sensor grids were probably never installed and instead the imperials relied on the orbital defense grid to stop a direct attack. starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Planetary_shield Star trek weapons would never pierce that since star wars shields do not fail at a low 400GW
star wars fighters are powered by power cells and can output 64 000 gw for their main guns while star trek ships are powered by antimatter and their shields fail at 400 gw. That example alone shows how star wars reactors are much more advanced than anything seen in star trek. star wars engineers can take any power source and make it much more powerful than anything star trek enginners can come up with antimatter. Thats impressive.
clearly idazmi fails to realize antimatter would generate insufficient energy for what the death star did to alderaan. Hypermatter makes sense where fusion and antimatter do not.
what failed argument? I don't see star trek blowing apart shielded planets in an instant while sending roughly 1/3rd of its mass thousands of kilometers backwards. Bolth thierry and I have stated on numerous occasions that turbolasers are not simply lasers. Guess you forgot that along the course of this debate and now all of a sudden you think it's relevent, no shit sherlock it's not a laser.
Here an example of how powerful star wars ships are using screen evideces. ''A Star Destroyer used its light trench-mounted guns to vaporize 40 metre wide asteroids in TESB with 1/15-second bursts, resulting in a lower limit of 22,500 TW for light turbolaser output. Note that this only applies to light turbolasers. If the ratio of light to heavy turbolaser output is proportional to the size difference, then heavy turbolasers must therefore output roughly 2.8 million TW.'' Meanwhile in star trek, Riker cleary mentioned that his ship needed at least 125 photon torps to destroy an hollow asteroid. What a sad joke.
@@richardched6085 Yes, they needed at least 125 photon torpedoes to _collapse_ a hollow asteroid a few miles in diameter. The light point-defense systems on ISDs are _vapourizing_ 40m wide solid asteroids. Do you have any idea how much more energy that takes???
@@EmpiricalPragmatist those asteroids looked alot less than 40 Meters wide. Plus they weren't Vaporized (There was plenty of white hot debris fragments left over).
@@richardched6085 There is nothing visible left in less than half a second except gas. Also how exactly are you calculating the size of those asteroids? You do realize the ships in the background are 1.6 kms long right? (That's the small ones!)
@@EmpiricalPragmatist you are correct (just rewatched it lol). I wonder why the Empire never used such Megaton scale power when attacking ground targets.....
Star wars: We must destroy a planet! Builds a 160km Sphere that gets immediately destroyed. Star Trek: We must destroy a planet! Assembles a moderately sized fleet of star ships and turns the crust into magma.
EmpiricalPragmatist LOL This is the extent of the damage you're capable of? And I thought I'd need to come slap you around a bit. Nevermind... go ahead about your business, slick.
Mr48GOAT Damage? Huh? I completely refuted his only point. What more do you want, a lecture on intellectual rigour? If you want to see damage, check out my thread with waveforceful. :)
MadnessIncTV it does not matter if the EU is canon or not. All the screen evidences already suggest that star wars ships are indeed way superior to star trek ships. After all star wars shields fail at 70 trillon gw while star trek shit shields fail at a low 400 gw according to Worf. Photon torps are limited to 64 megatons while a star destroyer can fire 200 gigaton per shot. And list goes on and on just using screen evidences. Using the EU is just overkill.
I would have to agree that it would be over kill if you use the EU, but I also have to agree with Idazmi7. The shield strength is never mentioned in the movies, but that is because Star Destroyers were well known for being powerful. Now with the Tie Fighter....well...yeah they are cheep, but Tie Bombers pact a major punch with or without the EU.
Thierry Saint-Jour using on screen evidence both ST and SW weapons are sub Kiloton at best (Except for the scene when the ISD destroyed Asteroids in ESB)

Me too. I was like, 14 or so.
Joseph Watson I saw the Lego version like 7 years ago
Joseph Watson I know!
3:33 Just once, when Picard told Worf to, "Fire at will." I wanted to see Worf say, "Aw, yes sir." then pull out his phaser and shoot Riker.
Steve Talon
But he never said "Fire at Wesley"
That Guy...Brian
Nothing wrong with Wil Wheaton. He's a great guy as far as I know.
That Guy...Brian
I see. But see then that would be Patrick telling Mike to shoot at Wil, not Picard telling Worf to shoot at Wil.
In the Harry Turtledove book The Guns of the South,when one Confederate says Fire at will, someone replied which one's Will?😁
Zulu (1964)... Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead : Fire at will! Pvt. Owen : That's very nice of him.
Coming Soon: Red Shirts vs. Stormtroopers
+Mindd Kidzag The stormtroopers will miss every shot, but the red shirts will die anyway

Oh man! Talk about an ultimate crossover movie. A real one would just kill at the box office!
You kidding? Both Wars and Trek fans will pay out the nose for such a film.
depends on who directs it. just sayin
I think it could work. It would be a comedy / slapstick themes film. It would be a film made purely for fun and wouldn't be canonical obviously. Maybe they could do it in a animated form?
It seems highly, highly unlikely it will happen. At least for now. In future maybe, as studios become less fragmented. Who knows, maybe Disney will buy Star Trek one day?
They should make 2 movies about the same event just from different perspectives, one could be "Star Trek XIV: Star Wars" and the other could be "Star Wars episode IX: Crossover"
I guess we have to wait until Disney buys Star Trek too
Every time the emperor interrupts Picard's intro with "GOOOOOD! Your hate has made you powerful!" I just start cracking up.
To be fair, Vader DID attack in an unprovoked manner.
I used to watch this over and over again.
"I am Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S. Enter--"
"GOOOOOOOOD."
the Emperor has been expecting you🤣
Someone should make a remaster of this.
czcams.com/video/2Nn0QybLFWI/video.html
the enterprise should have shrugged everything till the death star hit her and that should have been what collapsed her shields because 8472's bioship weapons could blow up a planet and since the enterprises shield are stronger then voyagers and voyagers shield could take an 8472 hit before collapsing the enterprise should be able to at least take one death start hit before hers failed as well and then they should use the death star run from star trek Picard season 3 episode 10 to have the enterprise go for the death stars reactor
This was really well put together, especially if you consider the fact it was done in 2006.
I would love to see a real Star Wars vs Star Trek movie. That would be badass.
+john tracy You'd think that at *one* point, there would have been some form of contact...
Now that JJ Abrams has directed a Star Trek and a Star Wars movie, it seems we're one step closer to that being a reality..
+CalicoSkies Very true. I had a dream that a star destroyer exploded from the USS Enterprise
Redshirted would die, by storm trooper hands. Makes perfect sense...
no because star wars takes place in the past well star trek takes place in the future
notice how it takes almost an entire armada to fight with a science vessel
I noticed that, it was one star destroyer then the fleet at endor and then the Executor SSD
What I like about this video is that it doesn't disrespect either franchise, in fact in my eyes is probably the most accurate scenario that could happen if the Empire collided with the Enterprise. It's also not tongue in cheek as so many other videos seem to be. I don't really care for those.
Travis Linton I like Star trek more but I agree.
Ootytwo Outram yeah I'm more of a Trek fan as well. Star Wars hasn't evolved as a franchise as Trek has.
Travis Linton I like both franchises but star trek is better not only for being a good thing itself but you get to know what chracters more.
Travis Linton Actually it's not being very accurate at all.
+Inimbrium why isn't it?
Hands down, this is the best Star Trek vs. Star Wars video in terms of respecting both sides. You can debate the exact balancing (for instance, I highly doubt the Enterprise could take out a Super Star Destroyer), but the video clearly didn't mock either side.
Now that I think about it; it actually does give both sides a fair chance
That's exactly why I love this video. There's no clear victor. It respects both sides.
Lennard Church I think we can both agree that Star Wars is way better!
Emperor Palpatine And then there's you
Actually, both vessels in their universes are reported of being capable of similar feats (scotching planet surface - e.g. Starfleet General Order 24) - but they are just vastly different. Federation and most of ST ships more flexible shielding and I'd say superior ship to ship weapon, maneuverability and are capable of all aspect firing. Star Destroyers are bigger, slower but in addition to strong if inflexible shielding carry substantial armour, but have firepower focused forward. TIE fighters - no match for Federation capital ship. Sensors - comparable. However, Imperial Fleet obviously has advantage in strategic mobility but tactially - well creative use of transporters.... and overall, Starfleet has more competent commanders than typical imperial run-of-the-mill captain.
What a brillant piece of art. I come back every now and then just to rewatch the whole thing, and I enjoy it alot.
Forget about the video, the real battle is in the comments!
😂
Star Trek: Battlefront
I like the way the Enterprise shields go down three times in a row! Hehe
She's tougher than u think
Who's watching this in 2019?
This is still so funny and it even has a end credit scene! Kinda....
the PC specs were so awesome, such a laff and the past hehe
I remember when this came out. Hard to imagine it's been like 13 years or w/e
I remember this, but the College Humor one is better
2022
The battle is so intense that Wesley had to change uniforms, and Worf's hair got longer then shorter then longer.
I literally remember watching this when I was just a kid. I can’t believe it’s still on CZcams !!
16 years ago. I think it’s time for an HD remake of this classic.
Surprisingly solid and balanced mashup
I remember seeing this video when it first came out.
It's aged like a fine wine.
This video has aged very well. Remember watching this when I was 21. (I'm 36 now.)
Yup I was 11 when this video came out now im 27 😂
This is very well-made, and I think this should actually become an extra Star Trek episode.
This would make a great movie if this actually happened.
Ooty Outram Remastered I agree.
+Ooty Outram Remastered Making a movie like this would be *dangerous*. If word gets out that the Empire committed an act of aggression against the United Federation of Planets, they could sympathize and join forces with the Rebellion.
@@Agent1W And the Rebellion will have a legit government backing them,and the Fed at least will get some "Force-Blessing".
It would be pretty one-sided. I mean the Enterprise is a research science vessel. The empire is all brilliant officers and battle-hardened Warriors.
Star Trek wins. Forever.
18 years ago yet I'm impressed by the editing
The Enterprise would just beam a photon Torpedo directly onto the bridge of the Empire's ship, lol.
William Stockhecker Such and old argument, and so easily refuted. Not sure it's worth the bother...
EmpiricalPragmatist Star Wars ships always, and I repeat *always* fight at visual range. Transporters have a range of tens of thousands of kilometers. Star Wars ships would never even know what hit them.
drksideofthewal "Star Wars ships always, and I repeat always fight at visual range."
Uh, and Star Trek ships don't? I can only think of one exception, and that was when firing at a stationary target, which today's missiles can do...
"Star Wars ships would never even know what hit them"
Yes, because nothing _would_ hit them. Transporters can be blocked/rendered thoroughly inoperable by anything from shields and super-dense materials to ambient radiation. SW ships have all three of those things, plus high levels of jamming interference, so you're smoking your socks if you think it's reasonable to assume transporters would just work on them.
Seriously, why is it so hard for Trekkies to think these things through?
EmpiricalPragmatist
"Uh, and Star Trek ships don't? I can only think of one exception, and that was when firing at a stationary target, which today's missiles can do..."
Most of the time, Star Trek ships don't fight at visual range. That's just clever editing. Sometimes they do, but unlike Star Wars, they have the option not to.
For example, In the TNG episode "The Wounded" the USS Phoenix engaged Cardasian warships at 300,000 kilometers.
I repeat, Star Wars ships have *never* engaged at beyond visual range. They're incapable of it.
"Yes, because nothing would hit them. Transporters can be blocked/rendered thoroughly inoperable by anything from shields and super-dense materials to ambient radiation."
Shields? Star Wars ships don't run with their shields up all the time, only when they sense danger.
Radiation? Star Wars ships don't emit massive amounts of radiation. Certainly not enough to disrupt a transporter signal.
Super dense material? A Star Destroyer's hull isn't any thinker, or denser, than the hull of a Borg Cube, which transporters can beam through.
Take those excuses, and throw them out the window.
"Seriously, why is it so hard for Trekkies to think these things through?"
This made me LOL. Hypocritical humor is the best. ;)
drksideofthewal "Star Trek ships don't fight at visual range. That's just clever editing"
Please tell me that was a joke. You see the ships face to face *all the time*. Just about touching noses. Your example of TNG: _The Wounded_ is the ONLY exception. Trying to pretend it's just one of many cases is disingenuous.
"but unlike Star Wars, they have the option not to"
That's also rubbish. If they could engage at longer range, why on Earth wouldn't they? Because they suffer from a lack of firepower, accuracy, or more likely both, at any greater ranges than the 1-2 kms we see them engage at all the time.
"Shields? Star Wars ships don't run with their shields up all the time, only when they sense danger."
An enemy ship on an intercept course _is_ danger. Besides, some shields run full time, such as the one covering the Endor moon.
"Radiation? Star Wars ships don't emit massive amounts of radiation. Certainly not enough to disrupt a transporter signal. "
And what do you base that claim on, pray? Sucking your thumb? Actually, in Star Wars broad-spectrum signal jamming is commonplace. Jamming is never even mentioned in Trek, and on the rare occasion that some alien of the week blocks their transporter signal, they act as if it's some weird unconventional tactic. This child-like innocence and naiveté makes them totally unused to dealing with the kind of jamming that makes the Rebellion unable to get a shield reading on the DS II in Episode VI.
"Super dense material? A Star Destroyer's hull isn't any thinker, or denser, than the hull of a Borg Cube, which transporters can beam through."
Again, complete thumb-suck. An ISD's hull is neutronium impregnated. You don't get anything denser than that outside a black hole.
Got anything besides made-up nonsense to add?
Lol, the only real fight happens in the comments section, for two science-fiction movies rofl
Windurster I know, it is interesting though to see what each side come up with next. hell maybe battlestar glactica fans will intrude for god knows what

I'm passionate about both franchises. Lol.
I remember this video back in 2006. Unemployed, no life, no school, no car, no girlfriend, no nothing. Just me, my internet friends, all night gaming in Starcraft Broodwar with MSN voice chat.
I absolutely love this video, but all the people arguing over the effectiveness of either's universe is fucking cringe lmao
I remember back in 2010- 2012 there were bunch of Star Wars fans and Star Trek fans that would argue over specs all day and all night like they didn’t have a life and that they would spam or dislike each other’s comments so that their point wouldn’t show. It was wild 😂
Ikr why couldn't they enjoy it for what it is instead of just squabbling over pointless shit 🤣
I remember when I first saw this video, I only knew the Star Wars things and knew nothing about Star Trek. Now I have watched all of the Star Trek movies, Voyager, TNG, DS9 and Enterprise.

There was lots of mutual annihilation in that video. Didn't you see the antimatter warheads and antimatter reactors? ;)

Despite how old this video is, and the hardware limitations that had to be dealt with, this is still the best edited ST vs SW video I've seen to date.
Darth Vader would force choke Captain Picard over the intercom end of story
Commander1991NOR Data would just shut it down and move the ship out of range and then blast the destroyer since they can't maneuver worth a damn..\ #SittingDucks
You can outmaneuver a star destroyer perhaps but you cannot outmaneuver the force.

Kåre Helgesen I know you are a trekkie but let me explain it to you.Rocks and metal does not have midi-chlorians in them yet they can still be manipulated by the force. The midi-chlorian count just allows you to use the force(when in high concentration).Eventhough the star trek universe don't have midi-chlorians does not mean that the force won't work. As long as darth vader has midi-chlorians in his body he can tap into the force and manipulate all things being organic or non-organic.
Commander1991NOR I don't mind using Kare's logic for the debate, but by the same token there is no Q Continuum in the SW galaxy therefore no Q can exert any influence either. This basically means trekkies are *&#_@ed anyway.
Kåre Helgesen lol was that you who geeked out on whats probably the least important overly-used argument? Really - you actually typed all that?
My real issue isn't Star Trek vs Star Wars, it's the fight between the fans. First, let's accept that they are both completely different shows. Star Wars is a Fairy tale, written by George Lucas who admits he had no idea how large the Galaxy really was or even how fast light would travel in a year. His focus wasn't the technical side, but was completely story driven. It was a story of good versus evil and he told it in a way that so many people, including me, could relate to and enjoy. George had no idea HOW the Millennium Falcon could go so fast, or even what .10 past the speed of light translated to. He Wrote a story that was larger than a single world and therefor has to have space ships in it to fully tell his story. That said, the story of Star Wars, the First three released being the ones I love most and the ones I reference for this comment, is one that is timeless, as I was there on day one, when it hit theaters and am still here to see the story finally "end". Now, Star Trek is almost completely opposite.
Star Trek: The Original Series Creator
Gene Roddenberry spent years talking to NASA about Lasers, phasers, Warp Drives and every other theoretical space ship design and components to make the show stand up to the scrutiny he knew it was going to face. Even today, Top scientists in space travel and even Quantum Physics cannot find fault with Gene's original ship design. Even his explanation of how the ships travels far faster than the speed of light holds up against scrutiny. The Story falls to the ship and the hope of the Human Race actually coming together and exploring this Galaxy. The Story, even down to the personal ones, spent much of the time showing what could be, and little else. There wasn't a set of story lines like in Star Wars, no good versus evil, no Knights (Jedi Knights) and no strong story to rest on. Yes, there are stories, but they last about what, 40 minutes each? So, Star Wars and Star Trek are only the same type of show if you count them both being in space. If you go by Technology, Star Trek wins only by the facts. The Show is bases completely on technological facts or Probabilities. He developed "Warp Drive" that, in Theory, would allow a ship to travel at speeds well above the speed of light without traveling backwards in time. The Voyage Home accented this theory quite well. So, in closing, they are two completely different shows with two completely different agendas. Star Wars was story driven, and driven beautifully as I still go to it at least twice a year, and Star Trek, which is Tech. Driven, and driven well enough that Gene's Ideas still hold up since the 1960s when the show first aired.
One impacted me emotionally and the other intellectually.
@@gokulkrishm51 star trek does it both for me. I roll my eyes whenever they start babbling about the force in star wars... Am I the only one who wants to know how the fighters and starships actually work in star wars?
@@MrLinkkid Not alone. I want to know too :D I get your point.
Which is exactly why i like.....
Stargate the best ;))
You're not helping by writing a giant cope paragraph
''Star Trek Federation power generation technology is extremely limited. None of their battlestations are mobile, their starship power generation systems are extremely inefficient, and even the most optimistic quantifications of their power generation systems indicate that their power output is less than 1% of a Star Destroyer's power output. Even a heavily-armed space station like DS9 is limited to terawatt-range power generation, based on deuterium fusion. Starships are limited to mere gigawatt-range power output! They have been unable to produce planetary shields or move planets as we have, and their crewmembers appear to have very poor scientific knowledge (based on their repeated mistakes).''
I don't think I've seen a CZcams video that's still up after 17 years. And it's decent quality, especially for the time. Nice job.
VERY GOOD EDITING!
This was made in 2006?! The edits hold up so well!
No mather whose fan you are this video is incredibly fun.
I still keep coming back to this. One of the best amateur clips!
Can't believe this is 15 years old now.
I remember seeing this about 8 years ago (at most) and it has aged incredibly.👍
Captain Picard: Fire at Will!
Me: (Shoots Commander Riker)
Captain Picard: *I am not amused, Ensign.*
l watched this as a kid, my step dad was a star trek geek, l was like did you ever see the episode where they fight ppl in star wars, he looked at me all crazy 😂😂
Teacher: "define chaos"
*student plays video, class erupts into a brawl*
This was the first video I'd ever watched on youtube. My dad showed it to me. I remember I would watch it all the time in second grade.
Still better than anything Disney has put out in the last 10 years.
The comments below are better than the video... Vader would force choke...blah blah, Trek's shields are....blah blah... hahahahahahahaha
Q joins in, clicks his fingers and turns the entire empire into cheese
He says “our first catch of the day” like running into ships from another Universe is a Regular occurrence
This is one of the first videos I remember watching online. I absolutely love Picard's face at 4:27. He's just like..."who the fuck is this guy?"
I also like to think that the music actually blasts through the speakers while the Emperor talks, and it's not just bad editing.
Also, 6:40. Cmd. *Ricker*? *Vador*? *Sithious*? Okay that last one is kinda cool...
All these years later this is still the best mashup edit of these two franchises
This is an amazing montage for a 16 years old video
Very cool! Such a neat way you mixed it, I am impressed. It looks like it came right out of the 1980's! [Haha, I know it's poor quality, but it made it better to me.]
Darth Vader could just kill Picard and everyone on the bridge just by seeing them on the view screen and using his force choke, or possibly mind trick Worf into going on a killing spree.
***** then he slices them fool
What's a Klingon
***** bord the ship with 700 stormtroopers and slice em simple
Is a vasor a pistol
Can they cut through a lightsaber
It should have ended at 1:01 - vader just reaches out his hand, sqeezes it and captain whatever his name is just chokes and dies.
Both series are awesome but i prefer the geeky coolness of star wars. Both awesome though
But Diana could block it.
@@aa2339 Yeah
Would love to see this remastered with the Blurays!
Star trek would annihilate Star wars. Lasers can't even penetrate navigational shields on star trek. The death star could never hit a moving target unless it was the size of a planet. It's simple people. Star wars loves to use fighters and those fighter pilots against any 24th century starship is a suicide mission. How can Star Wars defend against a transporter. Especially if your beaming quantum torpedoes. The death star was destroyed with two missiles or nukes. Star trek wouldn't even have to fly inside the death star. Just beam a quantum torpedo inside and it's all over.
Rondu01 Wow, mass ignorance or trolling?
***** Okay, tell me then, what part of transporting onto an enemy ship that has shields and high-density hull armour and which _can shoot you_ if you drop your shields in order to use transporters is common sense?How is a SW fighter attacking an ST ship suicide? They can't even shoot down their own clumsy, wallowing dead-slow torps, never mind a SW fighter.Did you actually think about what you were saying before you declared this stuff to be common sense, or was it just your inner fanboy speaking?
Why, because of the mere suggestion that someone has an "inner fanboy"? I think if you read more of the comments here, you'll quickly find that I'm one of the tamest people on this page. Especially with people who are civil to me as well. Maybe you just don't like my conclusions...
EmpiricalPragmatist the death star shields was taken out by rebel commando team. the death star can only fire in one direction. A defiant class starship cloaked comes in from any angle where the death star only gun isn't facing, decloakes and beams a quantum torpedo inside its all over. They only need 2 seconds to pull this of recloak and get out of there.
Rondu01 Rofl. Did you just imply that the Death Star only has one gun? Seriously, I would be wasting my time debating you when your level of knowledge on the subject is so low (and lots of your other statements show mass ignorance as well). If you want to debate the subject, at least put _a little_ effort into knowing it first... _Then_ I'll bother debating you.
Best video on CZcams forever and ever.
Fantastic cuts. I would like to see more!!!!!!!
The good memories watching this on an ol crappy vista dell desktop with its aesthetic and then my first videos I see is this.. well made, and nostalgic too. Dang it’s been so long
I love this debate, but honestly Star Wars Fanboys with no regard for Federation tech irritate me. Not to mention most of the biased group against Star Trek usually don't even know their EU history nor do they realize the numerous flaws the Empire contains
I know right? Like reactor cores with no dead man's switch devices, that routinely blow up their own ships, and elite bridge crews who don't know the difference between joules and watts. Oh, wait, that's all Star Trek...
EmpiricalPragmatist
At least Star Trek TRIES to support their weaponry. Star Wars gives us ridiculous power outputs for millennia old weapons that somehow still surpass the modern day imperial tech. Seriously, that's why i don't buy into the whole x-wing vs enterprise argument its freaking BS the rebel proton torpedo (which is outfitted with a nuclear warhead) is claimed to be more powerful than the Photon torpedo (powered by antimatter) there's no contest here
Bob Jeankins The photon torpedo is stated to have a maximum payload of 1.5 kgs of matter and the same amount of anti-matter, giving a theoretical maximum yield of roughly 64 megatons. This is only about 10% larger than the yield of the Tsar Bomba, the largest *real* thermonuclear warhead detonated to date. (Though possibly not the largest _constructed_). It is hardly unrealistic to think that a society as advanced as the Alliance could significantly improve on our 1960s technology. Also, where did you read that the proton torpedo was a nuclear weapon?
Also, most Imperial firepower figures are based on generously pessimistic scaling of the firepower demonstrated by the Death Star and in the TESB asteroid vapourization scenes.
EmpiricalPragmatist In a Star Wars vehicle encyclopedia. Great book, had tech from the EU as well.
You see that's what I mean, There's always methods to improve nuclear weaponry, but there is absolutely no contest when it comes to nuclear vs antimatter. Starfleet vessels operate under the source and scan destroy planets singlehandedly without the need for a huge super weapon. Don't forget the Genesis torpedo's available for mass production. And those aside, it has been implied many times throughout the series Starfleet posses the power to destroy or eradicate life on planets. The reason they do not is because they are rarely involved in total war and the ethical and moral transgression this would infringe upon in the prime directive.
Starfleet also has the ability of time travel, increased speed, manverability and versatility, and pretty much every other 'strategic' advantage. Just from reading the "Art of War" by Sun Tzu, its easy to derive there is really no contest. in a full scale war the logistics and strategy of Starfleet would decimate the Empire.
Bob Jeankins "but there is absolutely no contest when it comes to nuclear vs antimatter"
Firstly, I should point out that it's not the _method_ that will have the greatest impact on your power generation, but rather the _efficiency_. The idea that all or even most of your payload matter will actually undergo fission/fusion/annihilation is only theoretical, and getting that to be practical is what would really count, since most of the matter is scattered before it can be used. Thus advances in efficiency could easily outweigh whether you're using thermo-nuclear of M/AM reaction warheads. Secondly, if you want to compare power generation methods, you have to remember that the Death Stars employed a hypermatter reactor, pulling reactor fuel directly into the reactor from anywhere in space. That's always going to beat both the methods mentioned above.
"Starfleet vessels operate under the source and scan destroy planets singlehandedly without the need for a huge super weapon"
They can not. There is one episode where they worry that they could wipe out _all life_ on the planet (and that only due to a highly volatile atmosphere that they might set off), but never any mention of destroying the planet itself.
"Don't forget the Genesis torpedo's available for mass production"
Forget it? Where is that mentioned? How come they never used them? Don't say ethics, because Section 31 would've used them during the Dominion and Borg wars anyway *if they could*.
"this would infringe upon in the prime directive"
The prime directive only even applies to pre-warp civilizations...
"Starfleet also has the ability of time travel, increased speed, manverability and versatility, and pretty much every other 'strategic' advantage"
Nonsense. Time travel is so risky that it's done more often by accident than on purpose, it has a very short time range, and it is never used to solve problems like wars _ever_. Clearly of limited use. As for speed, SW ships travel between their galactic core and the outer rim in less than a day usually, whereas Voyager (one of the fastest Fed ships of its time) took _75 years_ and an entire series to crawl across *one quadrant of the galaxy*, even with the aid of wormholes, experimental techs, and the occasional shove from a god-like being!
SW ships MASSIVELY outpace ST ships, and could bypass Fed ships without even fighting them, and bombard their pitifully defended home-worlds (all 150 of them) into submission before their defense fleets could even catch up, effectively winning the war before it's even started. Now *that* is more like Sun Tzu's Art of War!
Man, this video can vote now
This right here is an underappreciated masterpiece
regaurdless of the facts about SW or ST, this movie while choppy(completely fair considering all the splicing that went on) was masterfully done, and very fun to watch, thank you. and keep up with it
The Sith have nothing on the Q
Conclusion
Federation shield technology is clearly in the low megaton range for resistance. The evidence for this is simply overwhelming, regardless of whether you employ the TM or not, and since Imperial shields are rated at a much higher level, there is really no contest at all. The high-megaton and gigaton-class missile weapons of a patrol craft like Slave-1 could effortlessly destroy any Federation warship with a direct hit, to say nothing of the much heavier weapons on an Imperial capital ship.
Wow. I was only 36 when this came out!
To quote a Star Trek TNG episode: "Captain, they are now locking lasers on us."
"Lasers?"
"Yes, sir."
"Lasers can't even penetrate our navigation shields"
Star Wars just calls them lasers, they're plasma bolts that function pretty much the same as Romulan plasma. 😂
Sorry Star Wars fan...your destroyer wouldn't do anything with it's wimpy lasers, and the single torpedo would blow the entire destroyer apart.
For 2006 this really good
This was the first CZcams video I ever saw. I was like 12 or something and I thought it was the best video ever at the time 🤣🤣🤣
Vader: "Your effect are laaaaaaaaaaame!"
Picard: "That's not the point"
Vader: "Yes it iiiiiiiiiiiiis!"
Correction: The Defiant class is far smaller than the ~625m Galaxy Class, (not sure of the dimensions exactly), so not quite. What IS fun, though, is that they can't dodge one that's moving at a measly +-12m/s! :)
Also fun to compare the manoeuvering abilities of the photon torpedoes with Luke's ANH one, which made a 72,000g, 90 degree turn. :)
A crossover would be awesome!
glad this is still hanging around youtube. one of the original videos i ever saw
Great
Outstanding holodeck program! love how the Death Star explodes each time a torpedo is beamed to its core. 🤣🤣🤣
Man. I love Star Trek, and Star Wars. I've never identified as either. But that shit is crazy. Sure, I can see the Enterprise maybe taking down an Imperial Star Destroyer.. but the Death Star? The motherfuckin' Death Star!? Nah man. If Picard hadn't ordered the Enterprise to leave, they'd have been deader than fried chicken.
Gramps ford torpedoes in star trek never had the need to make a 72,000g turn. Think of the logistics of what it took for Luke's torpedo to go into the exhaust port and not touch anything on the way down. the torpedo entering the exhaust port with its nose point down at 90 degrees parallel to the walls of the port would be crucial. The torpedo in star trek VI would not have been blocked by anything. All they had to do was hit a roughly 400m ship so they can lock on to it with other torpedoes. Luke had to send a perfectly aligned torpedo through a 2m wide exhaust port all the way to the reactor. There was also a giant neutronium tower directly above the port. Furthermore, wedge stated that his equipment could see the tower but not the port. This was probably do to powerful jamming or some method the tower could use to hide a heat signature. Luke's torpedo had very little space to maneuver into the correct angle. This is the entire reason for the trench run in the first place. I don't know how I can make this any more simple for you. If you still don't like the fact that luke's torpedo did something seemingly impossible the force is "broken". Luke used no targeting computer to pull off the feat either. it was a deus ex machine plot device in every sense of the definition.
The Federation has the techknowledgy to disassemble atoms and reassemble atoms to the exact same form and transport those atoms across space at the same time,once the shields were down which wouldn't be a problem as Han Solo hot wired the freaking shield generator doors open,after he got there to the planetary surface with no problem the Feds could take out the shield generator with a phaser strike from outer space ,the Feds could beam a photon torpedo to the exact same spot Lukes torpedo …or they could use the same tech they used in the beaming process to guide the torpedoes
Operator it wasn't a shielded planet Han Solo got in there,and they could beam a torpedo along the same route Lukes shot were fired beam it through the exhaust port and along the route ,if a transporter can dissemble atoms and reassemble them it can disassemble a live torpedo and beam it to or along what ever coordinates it were programed ,the Feds have shown the ability to think outside the box
MadnessIncTV It had to be a shielded planet otherwise the rebel capital ships would have done this static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060824051144/starwars-exodus/images/6/6f/Base-Delta-Zero.jpg rather than using imperial codes to bypass the shield and take it out on the inside. Also what makes you think they can bypass something they have never been shown to bypass onscreen. Even granite gives them trouble.
Operator 1, Han Solo got onto the planet and 2 Han Solo got right up to the shield generator,what powerful sensors around the shield generator doorway around the shield generator period, anybody getting with in miles of such an important piece of equipment means the security is severely lacking just on a basic level, never mind the fact a saboteur and a whole band of Ewoks could be swarming around it, all your claims make no sense
Han Solo needed a stolen shuttle with imperial codes to even get on the planet and Vader gave the order to lower the shield. They wouldn't have even been on the planet if that didn't happen. Why even bother with the ordeal if the endor moon did not have a shield that could prevent any bombardment? Given your lack of a coherent answer to this question I'd say your point makes no sense, as usual.
"anybody getting with in miles of such an important piece of equipment means the security is severely lacking just on a basic level"
-the moon of endor was actually part of a protected planet treaty and considered a lot like a national park. There were natives walking around everywhere, a bunch of sensor pings would have probably turned out to be animals or native hunting parties. As a result, sensor grids were probably never installed and instead the imperials relied on the orbital defense grid to stop a direct attack. starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Planetary_shield Star trek weapons would never pierce that since star wars shields do not fail at a low 400GW
You must be a serious star treck fan if you thought that the star ship could destroy a star destroyer
Evidence?
Also it's Star Trek
Come on! The Enterprise is so much better!
I remember this when it came out, held up as good as i remembered.
star wars fighters are powered by power cells and can output 64 000 gw for their main guns while star trek ships are powered by antimatter and their shields fail at 400 gw. That example alone shows how star wars reactors are much more advanced than anything seen in star trek. star wars engineers can take any power source and make it much more powerful than anything star trek enginners can come up with antimatter. Thats impressive.
clearly idazmi fails to realize antimatter would generate insufficient energy for what the death star did to alderaan. Hypermatter makes sense where fusion and antimatter do not.
what website did you get your info
what failed argument? I don't see star trek blowing apart shielded planets in an instant while sending roughly 1/3rd of its mass thousands of kilometers backwards. Bolth thierry and I have stated on numerous occasions that turbolasers are not simply lasers. Guess you forgot that along the course of this debate and now all of a sudden you think it's relevent, no shit sherlock it's not a laser.
ok
you do know that a lazer is a pop gun to the trekkies?
Here an example of how powerful star wars ships are using screen evideces.
''A Star Destroyer used its light trench-mounted guns to vaporize 40 metre wide asteroids in TESB with 1/15-second bursts, resulting in a lower limit of 22,500 TW for light turbolaser output. Note that this only applies to light turbolasers. If the ratio of light to heavy turbolaser output is proportional to the size difference, then heavy turbolasers must therefore output roughly 2.8 million TW.''
Meanwhile in star trek, Riker cleary mentioned that his ship needed at least 125 photon torps to destroy an hollow asteroid. What a sad joke.
That asteroid Riker mentioned was large enough to swallow up the 642 Meters long Enterprise-D several times over. It was likely a few miles wide.
@@richardched6085 Yes, they needed at least 125 photon torpedoes to _collapse_ a hollow asteroid a few miles in diameter. The light point-defense systems on ISDs are _vapourizing_ 40m wide solid asteroids. Do you have any idea how much more energy that takes???
@@EmpiricalPragmatist those asteroids looked alot less than 40 Meters wide. Plus they weren't Vaporized (There was plenty of white hot debris fragments left over).
@@richardched6085 There is nothing visible left in less than half a second except gas. Also how exactly are you calculating the size of those asteroids? You do realize the ships in the background are 1.6 kms long right? (That's the small ones!)
@@EmpiricalPragmatist you are correct (just rewatched it lol). I wonder why the Empire never used such Megaton scale power when attacking ground targets.....
Star wars: We must destroy a planet! Builds a 160km Sphere that gets immediately destroyed.
Star Trek: We must destroy a planet! Assembles a moderately sized fleet of star ships and turns the crust into magma.
This is the first time I'm watching this and I'm grinning from ear to ear. This is so enjoyable!
Star Trek is so much better. There is no question about it!
The Death Star is targeting us. Oh, move slightly to the left. Oh, they missed.
zeroryoko1974 You did notice the Death Star can fire its main weapon off-axis, right? I guess not...
EmpiricalPragmatist LOL This is the extent of the damage you're capable of? And I thought I'd need to come slap you around a bit. Nevermind... go ahead about your business, slick.
Mr48GOAT Damage? Huh? I completely refuted his only point. What more do you want, a lecture on intellectual rigour? If you want to see damage, check out my thread with waveforceful. :)
Hard to believe this is almost 20 years old. It feels weird seeing CZcams videos being this old.
Wow this video is ancient yet the editing looks amazing
MadnessIncTV it does not matter if the EU is canon or not. All the screen evidences already suggest that star wars ships are indeed way superior to star trek ships. After all star wars shields fail at 70 trillon gw while star trek shit shields fail at a low 400 gw according to Worf. Photon torps are limited to 64 megatons while a star destroyer can fire 200 gigaton per shot. And list goes on and on just using screen evidences. Using the EU is just overkill.
I would have to agree that it would be over kill if you use the EU, but I also have to agree with Idazmi7. The shield strength is never mentioned in the movies, but that is because Star Destroyers were well known for being powerful. Now with the Tie Fighter....well...yeah they are cheep, but Tie Bombers pact a major punch with or without the EU.
Thierry Saint-Jour using on screen evidence both ST and SW weapons are sub Kiloton at best (Except for the scene when the ISD destroyed Asteroids in ESB)
Starwars is better
This is actually really good. Really full of tension! Thank you!
this is still one of the best star trek star wars fan edits!
