    Did you just say Pickard can kick Skywalkers ass? Luke is a jedi. And a trained knight who has fought many battles.

    Pickard is a desk jockey who sits in a fancy chair. It’s not even close.

    Sure, the enterprise can best the falcon, but in a 1v1, there is zero chance of Pickard taking out Luke

      There’s no need to get into a fight when you can call for a site to site transport an intransigent Jedi into a hard vacuum.

      “Mr. Worf, please facilitate Mr. Skywalker coming to a more complete understanding as to the relativity of his position by transporting his lower spine two feet to the left.”

        We haven’t established the parameters of this fight well. If outside/friend help is not allowed, Skywalker wins. If outside help is allowed: Picard wins

        Also it is canon now that jedi can survive a hard vacuum for a moment at least, per Leia in The Last Jedi (iirc). But Picard is definitely smarter so he’d find a way I think. Probably.

          Hard vacuum is survivable for a short amount of time, but The Force won’t really help Luke if he’s half a light minute away from the closest breathable atmosphere.
