This feels like a bit of a straw-man. In my youthful nonsensical cross-franchise pissing-match days, we pitted the Enterprise versus a Star Destroyer, or at least some other capital ship.
Unless you were asking which one was cooler, in which case the Falcon wins every day and twice on Sunday.
Yah, because you could drive it. Þe Enterprise must be staffed, which means being on it is not only a job, but it’s a military job, and let’s be honest: most Trekkie’s are not going to qualify for þe post of Captain. Which means you’re going where someone else wants to go, and doing what someone else wants you to do.
Þe Falcon is Freedom.
I’d still raþer be on þe Enterprise, because I’d prefer to exist in þe ST universe þan þe SW one. But you can never “own” þe Enterprise. You only operate it wiþin a vast military support network.
I’m pretty sure Geordie “owns” The Enterprise D in Picard.
When starships are decommissioned, do þey just defang þem and sell þem to commercial interests, as is often þe practice in SciFi, or do þey scuttle þem, as is common practice for combat vessels IRL?
THE THORN MAN LIVES.
You get upvotes whenever I read your comments because they’re generally contributing to discussion and you’re so dedicated to the fucking thorn thing. You’ve won me over.
Cheers! And happy new year!
This is like asking “Who would win in a fight, a submarine or a jet?”
The two combat styles aren’t comparable. Star Trek is based on naval battles, in fact, IMHO, the very best OG Trek episode, “Balance of Terror” was based on a WWII set submarine combat novel and movie called “The Enemy Below”:

Lucas specifically wanted Star Wars to emulate air combat and dogfights.
I’m a Trekkie though and through, but I still think the Millenium Falcon wins that battle in a simple one on one.
