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

Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

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.

The best series provides the best answer
It was settled by the Stargate community
Well that's entirely dependent on whether the Borg completely negate the death star weapons.
You only get a couple shots on any given frequency modulation of your energy weapons.
So as long as they have like.... 6 or 7 ships? They're good to go. After losing two or three ships. Just keep shooting until the death star goes boom.
If they hide inside a cargo ship and get tractor beamed into one of the bays, then I'd say it's only a matter of time before they control the entire death star.
It also depends on whether the Borg consider the death star a threat or worthy of assimilation. Given the accuracy of shooting of those on board, I highly suspect the ship's technology would be assimilated and then its inhabitants converted to drones.
Guys, the dog just shot itself.
The whole thing about being able to resist energy weapons is silly though, and the logic doesn't exrrapolate well at all when you have a laser the size of a small moon blasting at you. The Borg's only chance is to swarm the death star with too many ships too quickly and stay below its effective range.
The planet killer can't fire very frequently. Realistically, they just need to get within transporter range, send drones over, and start assimilating the ship. If they can avoid the first shot from the superlaser or just have a second ship, they're probably fine. Unless the Death Star has Vader on board.
The Force is irrelevant. Vader will be assimilated.
I mean with such a glaringly obvious flaw I'd be surprised if the death star could defeat anything that wasn't stationary
The death star was shielded and armored against big ships, like capital ships (and maybe a Borg cube). It was defeated because they didn't bother with countermeasures against a small one-man fighter exploiting an Achilles' heel that only the rebellion knew about.
I think ship to ship Star Trek would wreck Star Wars in most cases. If Star Wars manages to board Star Trek though it'd be a different story.
Captain: "Fire proton torpedoes"
Captain: "Shit. It didn't work. Do these things ever blow up a damned ship?"
#2: "Maybe about once a season, sir."
Only when used in a <insert captain's name here> maneuver.
Uhh, are we talking Rebels or Storm Troopers? I guess a battle of red shirts vs. storm troopers would be pretty epic. The red shirts would probably end up dying of cardiac arrest or something as lasers hit everything but them. You'd think they would have cloned someone with good aim for their elite troops.

Jedi.
Yeah but Jedi vs. Picard? That's easy, Picard would diplomacy so hard they'd all be sipping cups of Earl Grey in 30 seconds flat.
Cheeky posting this both here and at TenForward
If an entire death star was taken over by Borg, that would be a whole lot of Borg.
The Borg assimilate entire planets, so the scenario to watch out for is when they assimilate Coruscant. That would be a whole lot of Borg.
I wonder how depressed Giorgio Tsoukalos's dog is????
