/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

They have shields though. Can you teleport through shields now?
Force choke your teleporter engineer. Game over. Game over.
O'Brien opens coms and says "harder".
Star destroyer leaves, feeling a little gross.
That's it, you win. Everybody go home
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.
It seems pretty likely that the Force would enable Vader to be immune from a transporter.
Magic can be tricksy like that.
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.
One line is star trek proves ST shield superiority:

Doesn't he kill Admiral Ozzel that way?
He's done it before, over video call no less
