Yeah but that planet didn’t have a deflector shield.
How do we know the Enterprise’s deflector wouldn’t hold on.
It’s taken some tough hits!!
“Yeah but that planet didn’t have a deflector shield.”
Didn’t it? That’s kind of a debate among Star Wars fans. The old extended universe actually confirmed that Alderaan did have a shield, but then Disney de-canonized that stuff so I guess it is up for debate again.
“How do we know the Enterprise’s deflector wouldn’t hold on.”
The ships in Star Wars have shields too and none of them could resist the Death Star’s beam. All of those capital ships are much larger with presumably much bigger power plants and much stronger shields than a Starfleet ship like the Enterprise. Even against ships in the Star Trek universe the Enterprise’s shields usually go down in about three hits, like EVERY episode.
