Star Wars is even worse! What you call defense shields in Sci-fi shows, they call "Deflector shields" in star wars. As the name implies, deflector shields will "deflect" enemy fire which doesn't last very long. Those types of shields tend to get drained and go offline under 10 seconds of enemy fire making them the worst type of shields in the history of Sci-fi genre. There is where you are wrong defltector sheild are the weakest sheilds in star wars and they last up to 3 days under enemy fire, ray sheilds are ven better! practically indestructible, lasting up to 30 dayss under fire!

(-_-) I think  you just proved my point. ''"Star Wars has a serious infliction where most fanboys overhype Star Wars' tech to the point that its unbeatable..." ''

Death star would not be able to get a firing solution on an evading federation ship. That would be like trying to fire a RPG on a buzzing fly one mile away which is impossible. How do you think the Death Star would fare in terms of accuracy against a small ship that is moving. It was purely designed to hit a non-moving target (planets) and destroy them.

Deflector shields are the weakest shields in existence....don't argue! I know because otherwise Obi-wan and Anikan would have never been able to rescue Palpatine in the movie otherwise...do you really think that the seperatist and clone fleet would take 30 days of fighting above Corascant? I mean really? Get a grip on reality!

Turbolasers are not plasma...I don't know where you got your information from but I would suggest you stop reading those star wars novels writen by authors who ARE NOT George Lucas. Firstly, if you assume a lightsaber is plasma with a magnetic field to keep its form...then how do you explain how plasma is able to "deflect" weapons fire when its nothing more than superheated gases? If that were the case, weapons fire would ignore the plasma and go right through.

I don't care how big star wars ships are...they can still be destroyed with ease. What people don't understand is that size can be a significant vulnerability in a fight. The bigger you are, the better target and easier it is to avoid your weapons fire which makes it impractical for fighting small ships that can get past your defenses. Also the bigger your ship is, the more attenuated your shields are going to be, because they have to work harder to cover a larger surface area which means the Deflector shields will be paper thin and weak. Bigger is not always better.
