SW laser weapons have huge amounts of energy behind them. ST shields would not stop them very effectively. The Enterprise was only immune to some lasers used by races with small ships. Their lasers were very low power (in comparison to what SW ships use, at least).

One on one the Borg cube kills them all.

but then we would end up with something like Darth Borg. Now that I think about it, the SW guys were well on the way to being borg

DW planatiod versus borg cube?

the fifth empire had 99,999 or thereabouts of those things. i say they would have wiped the floor with the borg, especially once they perfected those super-missiles.

It depends on the crew. SG1 consistantly destroys Mother Ships.
Does that count?

Grudge-match.com has done some interesting match-ups in the past, good for laughs if nothing else...

USS Enterprise vs. the Death Star

Borg Cube vs. "Independence Day" mothership

Bablyon 5 vs. DS9

USS Voyager vs. Battlestar Galactica

the enterprise would destroy the death star by the end of the episode. I, proffeser Narf, will now demonstrate why:

Death Star - Big, Evil Thing Of Death.
Number Of Big, Evil Things Of Death the Enterprise has blown up - I've lost count.

This has been a lesson from proffeser Narf.

I say it is up to the crew. If you swap out the crews of the ships the results would be the opposite.
