    Is the Enterprise faster than the Millennium Falcon?

    Can a light saber deflect a phaser beam?

      The scale of the star wars universe is much bigger than Star Trek. The millennium falcon can cross their whole galaxy in the time it takes the enterprise to cross federation controlled space, which is just a portion of a quadrant of our galaxy.

      Phaser beams travel at the speed of light, and can stay on continuously for long periods, an ensign could hit the button and sweep the beam across a Jedi and kill him pretty easily.
