In the Star Trek world, teleporters cannot go through shields. In a few episodes when they lose shields they have boarding parties attack.
Star Wars ships don’t have shields, they have area deflectors. A ship like the Enterprise could simply teleport active torpedoes into whatever Star War ships they encounter at a critical location and take out every ship with ease.
What I really want to know is why the Defiant is vaporizing the Falcon in the first place. It isn’t like Starfleet to shoot first and open hailing frequencies later.
The Falcon has shields and missiles. Pretty much every ship in Star Wars except for TIE Fighters use shields. TIEs specifically don’t because the Empire is wasteful, stupid, and arrogant.
Everything else comes down to the exact amount and kinds of energy the ships can generate and protect themselves from, and what speeds they can move. Those answers probably exist, but who knows what they are.
TIEs specifically don’t because the Empire is wasteful, stupid, and arrogant.
Well, also because the TIE is a light fighter built for both speed and mass production, which meant stripping out everything other than engines, guns, and controls. Similarly fast fighters with more features seem to have been made in comparatively small numbers and were issued specifically to either elite Imperial pilots or Jedi depending on the era.
Yeah, thats what the Empire said but when you’re losing dogfights with 2:1 odds or better because all your pilots get clapped in one shot and never have a chance to gain experience against an outgunned and outmanned insurgency your strategy is just bad.
We know that was the rationale but we also know they were hilariously wrong.

Just teleport an armed torpedo on board the Falcon and detonate it.
Ok holup why don’t they do this more often?

I’d expect it to go more like this:
