If only there was a mod or staff member around to move them all here.................
I am pretty much saying all of that-yes. We know a flux capacitor is nonsense--I said that. What you do not seem to get, is that in a lot of space based fantasy entertainment, the "science" real or not, is A PROP, A BACKDROP,A TOOL, A "ITS NOT IMPORTANT,ITS JUST THERE, PAY ATTN TO THE STORY" TYPE OF THING.
Now about that matchup... Okay, the Imperial Cruiser has no shields, and pulsed directed energy weapons and mechanical turrets. Without deploying it's fighters, the fight can only end one way. The Enterprise fires a spread of about 4 photon torpedoes and the Cruiser is space debris. . It could literally slice it in half with a continuous phaser beam across it's middle. It could beam the engines off of the ship and into space.

This is true.You're trying to equate all sci-fi sub-genres. You can't. The majority of the ST fanbase is very techy and the techy explanations are at the core of their entertainment whereas the majority of the SW fanbase is not and does not require it.
Sorry.Well, that was quick and even left him plenty of time to have sex.
Of course they have shields, hell, even deflector screens are spoken of in ANH,Actually the Star Destroyer does have shields. They are mentioned in both The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Now how effective they are...
This is true.
-however-
The continued bullshit over "I'm a Trek fan first so I have a brain" VS "I am a SW fan first so I want a good story first" is just frigging laughable.
BUT it makes good fodder to poke people with.
(especially when you like both)

Who says that? I haven't gotten that from any of the posts so far. All I am seeing thus far is "if this is fantasy then that's fantasy because of X", trying to equate the two sub-genres.
