The range thing is also a huge factor. Federation photon torpedos have a range of 300,000 kilometers. Star Wars is pretty inconsistent, but depending on the ship range seems to be maxed out at hundreds of kilometers. They also seem to have poor sensors.

In Star Wars the Scimitar is considered a fast ship, it's top speed is apparently 1200km/h in atmosphere. IRC that's half as slow as a present day SR71 blackbird. Trek is inconsistent, but the TNG technical manual says that impulse can reach 0.75c but is usually limited to 0.25c to avoid time dilation issues. C being light speed. So that's roughly 150 million kms an hour except in emergencies when it's more than that.

So basically, ships from the star trek universe could simply keep a safe distance, safe in the knowledge the empire's ships are far too slow to ever catch up conventionally.

As your video points out, trek ships are also shielded. But so are photon torpedos, which at one point allows a photon torpedo to burrow into the stellar core of a sun. So the Death Star isn't an issue. Just fire a few photon torpedos at it. Apparently the Death Star only had shields to protect against energy weapons, not kinetic shields because that would block heat escaping the exhaust ports.

Then there's the whole teleportation thing.

And replicators.

And cloaking.

And red matter.

...

The longer you think about it, the sillier the comparison gets basically.

Hyperspace in Star Wars is ridiculously fast, true. The empire/republic is also huge because of this. We're talking millions of worlds. Absurdly large.

It's the same thing in Asimov's Foundation (which everyone should watch, the second season is excellent) where the galactic empire spans the entire milky way. Population is 500 quadrillion apparently.
