Anonymous asked: if the star wars universe and star trek universe clashed star wars would win. because A. the speed the star wars ships compared to the enterprise speeds put the enterprise taking years to get places the falcon can do in days and that's actually putting the star fleets fastest ship in the mix. and B. star wars just out numbers star trek at least 10 fold and have weapons that destroy multiple planets and have weapons that can destroy a whole universe. and star wars did have hard point weapons

Correct, Star Wars revolves around a Type 2.5ish civilization spanning a galaxy, while Star Trek revolves around a Type 1 to 1.5ish civilization occupying about a tenth of a galaxy.
And yes, averaging around Warp 5 to 7 means the Federation would take longer to deploy across a galaxy than the Republic/Empire would, given how Voyager averaged around Warp 5 to 7 and took years just to cross part of the Milky Way. Warp 9 might be comparable, though.
Things in the Federation’s advantage, though:
The Federation is in the Milky Way galaxy and Star Wars is in the Triangulum galaxy, 3 million lightyears away (per the tie-in between ET: The Extra Terrestrial and Star Wars Episode 1). That means the Federation is in a larger galaxy with potentially more resources, if it could mobilize them.Federation has a clear technology advantage with matter transporters, better medical technology, and the ability to replicate matter.
The Federation’s ships, while not the kilometer-sized bruisers the Empire uses, are still formidably armed with photon torpedos and phasers, which have a similar power output to the turbolasers of Star Wars. They could pose problems for Star Destroyers and may even win one on one with skilled use of the Federation’s science advantages, but the Federation would be heavily outnumbered by the Imperial fleet if they invaded Imperial space.The way I see it, due to the -immense distances- involved, either faction invading the other faction’s galaxy would lose, despite the Empire’s superior numbers, FTL speeds, and power generation technology or the Federation’s technological advantages in matter manipulation. Neither side would have the numbers and supply lines needed to cross intergalactic space -and- take and hold territory in the opposing galaxy.
Well there’s also the force to take into factor. While I’m sure people like Picard and crusher would be able to resist jedi mind control, I think worf and Weasly would be susceptible to it. Not to mention the force can guide in flying and help them dodge phasers.
Do you know how many posts of dogs wrapped in blankets pretending to be food there are floating around this godforsaken website? And then THIS rolls around and im stuck for 15 seconds trying to wrap my head around exactly which end of a the “puppy” is sticking out of these “towels” getting progressively more concerned when i can’t figure it out, im upset
You thought someone stacked a bunch of dogs on top of each other?

dear guys who make gatorade frost:
the purpose of having a name for the flavor of your product is to tell me what flavor your product is
apparently, nobody ever told you this, and so you think the purpose of naming flavors is to sound like Death Knight talents
I don’t know what Icy Charge tastes like but I’m pretty sure it’s going to move me into melee with my target and slow their movement speed by 75% for 3 seconds
Shout out to this book that wants to make sure you draw Moana accurately
