Would it matter which enterprise or star destroyer was used?

    They have shields though. Can you teleport through shields now?

    Force choke your teleporter engineer. Game over. Game over.

      Have Data run the transporter and beam Vader directly into space. Vader’s 10,000KM from his ship before he realizes that Data doesn’t breathe. Even if Vader’s suit and powers allow him to survive, he’s just floating there watching the Star Destroyer blow up, if he can even see that far.

      Can’t reliably shield against what you don’t even know exists IMO. Tech difference is too overwhelming there.

      Force choke over several miles seems unlikely even for Darth Vader.

        There’s also the issue of Vader not knowing that they have that technology, how it’s operated, and where that operator is in the ship.

        A small away team could covertly transport aboard and disable the Star Destroyer’s weapons, while the captain keeps Vader’s attention on the bridge.

        As for the issue of shields, those have always been less useful in SW than ST, so maybe a few well-placed blasts could disable those beforehand. Or they’re not strong enough to stop the transporter beam, or something else. Trek’s writers could probably come up with a decent enough excuse for it to work.

        Doesn’t he kill Admiral Ozzel that way?
