Debate with myself....
Last night, I was watching Star Wars episode ii, Attack of the Clones, with my father. Immediately afterwards, I stuck in one of my Star Trek the Original Series second season dvds. It got me to thinking if whether or not Captain Kirk could take on Darth Vader successfully. I realize that Darth Vader has the use of the force and a light saber, but I can't help but think that Captain Kirk could still successfully take on Vader. Captain Kirk, after all, has his enormous fighting skill, and a phaser. But could Darth Vader deflect a phaser blast? I know in Empire Strikes Back, Vader successfully deflected a blaster shot from Han Solo in Bespin. But Kirk has great fighting moves and has more maneavourbility than Vader does. As much as I would like to say Kirk could take Vader, but I can't be sure. One thing is for certain, even though the outcome can only be speculated, it would be a fight worth paying to see.

Well, lets see here...Vader vs. Capt Kirk. Ok first off you are right, there is no doubt in my mind that Capt Kirk has some serious fighting skills, and his use of the phaser and how he can think on his feet are top rate. But, we need to look at this from another angle. You mention the fact that Vader has the force, yes this is a know fact indeed. We aslo need to remeber the screen in New Hope were Vader was crushing the officer in the meeting room when he showed his lack of confidence in the force. Vader did this to show his dis-taste of his lack of confidance in the force. So, this is something that is going to affect the outcome of the battle. Just think, that when Kirk trys to attack Vader all he needs to do it start chocking him or to throw something at him from across the room, and he would not have even touched Kirk yet. So, you are correct that it would be a great fight to see just to see the outcome, but I don't think that is something that is going to happen in our life time.
