ST Captains Pickard&Kirk VS. SW Jedis Kenobi&Qui-Gon

In response to Q vs. Jedis poll, I propose another not too equal poll. But so for the best and for glory:

What about Star Trek nice Captains agains two Jedis.

Pick your choice.
The Alma Mater

Depends on the situation. The jedis would obviously defeat the captains in hand-to-hand combat, but when commanding space fleets my money would be on the Kirk/Picard duo.

EDIT: ah, your poll adresses that question :)
Do they have weapons with them, or must they use the available resources (like e.g. creating a bazooka from convenient materials to shoot diamonds in the hearts of an enemy ?)

For today's science, phasers are fiction, thus magic.

Believing in Star Trek technology is equal to believe in Star Wars magic.

Guiding myself by your argument, John Rambo is able to pwn the four of them quite easily.

Nope. The science behind them is simple (energy pulse projected onto a surface to disturb its molecular cohesion) - the technology on the other hand is unattainable by today's mean. Still doesn't make it like the nonsensical magic that Star Wars ninkonpoops rely on, because the technology can exist while magic cannot.

Oh, why then we don't use phasers?

What about magnetic fields, we could loosely base force users on that, and would be in equal footing.

Because we are not that technologically advanced. The point is that no matter how much time passes, magic will remain impossible forever, while technology is just a matter of know-how.

Kirk and Picard need then just not have anything magnetic on them and they'll be fine.

Before we start to get into an arguement about the force we should work out what sort of universe they are fighting in. For all we know there may not even be the force present in it.

Lucas based The Force on an actual religion (I believe it was something akin to Buddhism) which stated all things in life are connected. The Force users in his canon are simply adept at manipulating that connection.

Furthermore, even barring their Force powers, I think the Jedi would have a significant advantage. Starfleet training likely resembles an extrapolation of modern-day naval training. Jedi training, on the other hand, focuses a lot more on personal combat (even before they were capable of wielding the Force, the Jedi trained in Lightsaber use).

Now, their weaponry would likely make a great deal of difference. I know blaster rifles as pictured in SW canon have a fairly long range; I'm not familiar with the hand-held phaser's range as I've only seen it utilized in close combat.

I'm guessing, barring use of the Force, the Jedi would opt to take blasters along with them; a Lightsaber is a much more potent weapon when wielded by the force adept.

Picard fought Nausicaans with his bare hands, not to mention Kirk Klingons and the freaky Lizard dude in the desert. They'd eat your little Jedis for breakfast.

There are phaser rifles. In any case, all the Jedi have are puny lasers, which Star Fleet abandoned centuries ago in favour of the much more advanced phaser.

The light-sabre doesn't seem to shield from prolonged, continuous fire, instead just short bursts, and even then only lasers. Picard and Kirk need only use their phasers on maximum setting and the light sabre would blow up.

Based upon your arguements, my joke about Battlestar Galactica would win would be true, at least in the new series. Shields do not exist yet, and their application is almsot fantasy. Galactica jsut has thick armor, that can even take nukes. Phasers do not exist, and their Scientific level is so high it may be unattainable. However Missles, bullets, Flak cannons and nukes do exist. Galactica uses all of these. Also based upon modern science, the transporter would take so much data to correctly map the entire molecular structure of an object and to correctly put it back together that this level of techonology is also near total fantasy, as of today's tech. So based upon your own arguement Galactica should own the Enterprise.

In science fiction, the important word is "Fiction". Also an important side note Star Wars is called Science Fantasy.

THe new series of Galactica I like a lot, however if you are talking about the 1978 version yes it did suck. Star wars had some bad movies, Episode I was bad. However Startrek has some "suckie" episodes to. ANyone rememebr when Kirk and spock met one of the Greek gods. or The movie the final frontier when they killed some sort of diety like creature trapped outside the great barrier. Or my favoirte the Klingon who quoted shakespear in every line..., or a nice little show named Enterprise. Yep startrek does not suck at all... LOL Learn2joke :)

Well, if you want to do it the technological way, the Jedi could just bring along Personal Deflector Shields, Laser Carbines, a couple suits of Dark Trooper Phase 2 armor, and be essentially invincible.

I should also note that in the Jedi vs. Q thread, Q had his god-like powers, so it should generally be assumed the Jedi have theirs in this thread. You can say "Kirk and Picard would win if the Jedi didn't have the force", but you could also say "The Jedi would win if Kirk and Picard didn't have limbs," so it's not really a valid argument.

We can all agree that Jar jar Binks was the bastard Red-headed step child, who should have fallen in the middle of the lightsaber fight with Obi-won, and Darth maul, and been sliced to shreds, only to be resserected by the force and thrown down that long tunnel that darth maul died in.

Also Jar Jar had 2 lines in episdoe 2, and had no speaking parts in III. but yes those 2 lines he had in epiisode II did seal the fate of the entire repbulic. Jar Jar does win the "most annoying character ever created" award

Or they could simply knock them down with the force (Obiwan Kanobi, and Darth Maul Episode I ) or Vader could simply choke them.

Yeah, but his hands were mechanical that wasn't necesarily the force. As for the rest they could also do what they do most of the time an instad try and block it with their lightsabers, which seems to be the standard response most of the time.

Important Distinction

Jedi use the focre to defend, thus the lightsaber is the only resort for attacking

Sith use the force to attack, using the lightsaber only to humiliate opponents (usually Jedi), or when the Jedi is too strong to defeat with the force.

The federation only attacks when it is attacked, usually after several attacks so even if the universes were combined I can't see Pacard trying to pick a fight with the peaceful jedi. Although Kirk might when he finds out the female Jedi will not have sex with him :)

And the Sith would not openly attack the federation. Instead they would over a course of 20-40 years convence the federation that they should be in control. (i.e episodes 1-3)

It's quite simple really: Picard and Kirk would use their phasers to kill the Jedis because the Jedis' religion is nonsense and there's no such thing as magic.

Science > superstition. Always.

No it;d be more like this:

T3H S.T. people shoot. The Jedi reflect the shots with the lightsabers. Either the ST are hit or the Jedi use the force and pwn them.

It's been proven time and time again: only a suprise attack (i.e., the 'betrayal' of the troops in SWIII) can hope to kill a Jedi.

Nor does the Deflector Dish(aka the Deus Ex Machina Machine)

And? Do the S.T. people get one of those in combat?

I'd doubt it.

Kirk can send an infinite number of redshirts to distract the jedi while he and picard sneak up behind them and OMGWTFPWN them.

Don't ever underestimate the deflector dish, or it'll hit you with an anit-underestimating beam.

And The Jedi can come in fighters or get some robots. :rolleyes:

It's two-on-two combat here.

And besides, the duo might even pwn them by sensing them with t3h Force... and then Force pushing them into the line of fire.

Phasers set on level 16 wide beam, Jedi get vaporised or try to block with their lightsabers, which would promptly explode.

Lightsabers don't explode.

And they could pull down the ceiling to block the shot.

Unless the celing is made of God, that'd get blown up too.

Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan will pwn Kirk and Picard...

However

Replace Kirk or Picard with Sisko, and those Jedi don't stand a chance. ;)

In response to Q vs. Jedis poll, I propose another not too equal poll. But so for the best and for glory:

What about Star Trek nice Captains agains two Jedis.

Pick your choice.

Kirk and Picard can single-handedly kick any Jedi ass. Just rearrange phaser beams to bypass lightsaber frequency, and goodbye Jedi!

Of course, the outcome would be different if they had to confront Han Solo and Lando Calrissian.

Commander/Captain Peter Quincy Taggart ("Never Give Up, Never Surrender") and Lieutenant Tawny Madison win... that's soooo obvious...

Else Dr. Lazarus of Tev'Meck ("By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Warvan, you shall be avenged!") could do everything by himself

If you were wondering who they are, here is a link for you (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_Quest).

No point in arguing with Fassigen. Never ever argue with religious fanatic about religion or trekkie about star trek. Pretty much same thing.

About the fight.
With force existant:
Jedi pull phasers out of Kirk and Picard's hands and choke them to sleep.
without force:
jedi get vaporised. unless they use blasters, then its equal fight with advantage slightly to the Kirk and Picard who are not used to rely on force.

about magic
in star wars we have force.
in star trek we have telepatic, telekinetic, emphatic and godlike beings, whats more HUMANS can become godlike beings in star trek. Anyone remembers Charlie X. NOTHING force can do gets NEAR charlie X if we are talking about magic. Also to actually have telephaty (which is ability to read, interpret and implant electrical impulses in the brain) being would have to be able to generate incredible amount of power. Impossible in humanoid form. And telekineses? don't make me start. Also description of Klingon biology would suggest that they have extremly slow metabolism, so all that backup systems could be fed, they would be fat, slow and immovable.
Star wars is FAR less naive then star trek.

About suckiness
Star wars has Jar Jar yes, and some bad parts.
Star trek has most of voyager, before mentioned deus ex elements and Wesley Crusher. A 15 year old Marry Sue who is better in just about everything then people who are intelectual elite, have over 10 years of education and over 20 years of experience on him. Including android who has a sum of human knowledge in his head.
Suckiness of star trek is bigger.

I acctually like both star trek and star wars, but trekkies really go on my... gunnundas when they start to accuse other shows of being non belivable or that they resort to weak plot devices. I mean for god sakes half Voyager rested on 7 of 9's boobs.
