I was trying to stay OUT of this one...but come on. It's the Falcon, dudes.
I can sleep at night without feeling like a traitor because if Kirk was the captain...it would have been far harder to choose.
Worf v Chewie---Like Worf would ever let Chewie get the drop on him. And that's what Chewie would have to do to beat him.

Omigosh, for once, Kalin's right!
Well.... about the Falcon. That hunk of junk could take ANY ship, ANY day. And Ramon, it was the captains and whoever who were in charge of the Star Destoryers/Death Stars (note PLURALS) when they blew up.... courtesy of the Millenium Falcon. So whatever rank and wherever they learned means nothing about the Star Trek captains, 'cause it sure didn't help the Star Wars ones.
And Warf? Puh-leeeeez. Chewie is sooooo the best. I mean, c'mon... you don't make a Wookie lose, 'cause you don't wanna Wookie mad. They'll tear your arms off.
Chewie would win. Bare-clawed or with his Wookie Bowcaster, he'd win.

hmm... I must have missed the part where a Wookie tore someone's arms off... maybe you just have an overactive and violent imagination. Well folks, it'll happen when one hits the bottle a little too hard. ESPECIALLY a 12 year old. Klingons are warriors, they don't spend their days getting drunk and partying in treehouses.
The difference though, is that whereas those Star Wars captains were apart of a heartless sterile empire that was intent on ruling the galaxy, the Star Trek captains are willing to make more creative strategical moves. I mean short of "fire cannons" what did those ships DO to take on the Falcon? Nothing, they were mindless villains, the Trek officers were more open to creative ways of dealing with situations.

Oh, yeah. Picard's idea was chit-chatting. And hel-LO! Haven't you ever heard of Grand Admiral THRAWN?!?!?! He is, by far, the CREEPIEST, EVILEST, most VILLAINOUS evil villain that ever was!!!
And Wookies do so rip people's arms off.
And now, about that little comment about ME?!? I am soooo not 12, and the only bottle I drink from is the WATER BOTTLE, you idiot, so keep to your topic.

Hey hey hey, just because you get a little angry when you drink, there is no need to call people names like idiot, I don't do that to you so don't do it to me and be civil, okay? This is polite time Imari, if you don't behave we can make you sit in an e-corner for time out. Thrawn? You call Thrawn evil? That guy was a light weight and not very sharp. Meanwhile Picard took on the Borg and the Q and the Romulans and the Ferengi as well as a host of other space threats that would give that "creepy, evil, most villainous evil villain that ever was" nightmares. He overcame obstacles far greater then a rebel uprising and he did it peacefully for the most part and always with honor and integrity so comparing the Federation to the Empire is not a fair analogy. I need proof of that Wookie arm ripping. A video, a picture, an excerpt from a book, something otherwise they don't rip peoples arms off despite the fact that they might possess the brute strength to do so.

Wookie's have the reputation of ripping peoples arms off. Reputation is a nice thing, doesn't mean they actually live up to that reputation. Thrawn? Are you kidding me? The polititcian is the scariest, creepiest, evil-est villain ever? I guess The Borg should take lessons from him on how to be an almost unstoppable force of destruction...

Star Wars has Vader. Picard would be choked out before he can say 'Engage' or 'Make it so'
Vader would of of been commiting genocide on them.

He got punked out by his teenaged son the first time Luke flew a star fighter... In a ship battle I don't see Vader being that useful... But I will agree that he's pretty useful in other situations. Not the best though.

He's not the 'CREEPIEST, EVILEST, most VILLAINOUS evil villain that ever was' until you read the BOOKS. Like Timothy Zahn's trilogy... in THAT, he is creepy *shudder*. He put up a good fight to the best pilots and planners in the New Republic. At least when Zahn made him a worthy Star Wars villain, Thrawn posed as much a danger as Vader did. He was capable of creating those creative maneuvers that Ramon is so hungry for. 'The difference though, is that whereas those Star Wars captains were apart of a heartless sterile empire that was intent on ruling the galaxy, the Star Trek captains are willing to make more creative strategical moves. I mean short of "fire cannons" what did those ships DO to take on the Falcon? Nothing, they were mindless villains, the Trek officers were more open to creative ways of dealing with situations.' Again, look into Zahn's books, V. AND WOOKIES HAD TO GET THEIR REPUTATION FROM SOMEWHERE!!!!!!! Han Solo SAID they rip people's arms off... and c'mon, woulda smuggler like Solo lie?

'An average adult Wookiee stands more than two meters tall, and has a lifespan of several centuries. Aside from great strength and keen senses, Wookiees also have impressive regenerative abilities that allow them to recover from injury at a remarkable rate. Wookiees also have wickedly curved retractable claws used for climbing.' 'These were duplicated digitally, and recomposited to fill out the frame. In addition, Industrial Light & Magic perfected the digital Wookiees necessary to create truly massive sequences, and complex stunt work like the Wookiees that swing in from above on a vine in order to plant explosives on incoming enemy tanks. ' www.starwars.com/databankSEE, Ramon? Their skill in the trees was crucial to the Republic's winning the war! 'Chewie growled. "He's a Wookie, pal," Han said, "and I wouldn't make him mad." "I can handle Wookies." Han grinned. "Anyone who's said that has never met a Wookie."' -- Star Wars: The New Rebellion by Kathryn Rusch

Not the best though. That was Han. Han appeared out of nowhere, destroyed the two ships on either side of Darth and hit Vader with a blast that sent him flying into space as the Death Star exploded. Oh, Peter Cushing, you so should have evacuated on your eve of victory. ... What? A New Hope was on a few days ago...

Hey shouldn't a girl your age be playing with barbies still? I simply don't want the poor lad to be disillusioned. And nope. All doll conversation between my younger cousins, nieces, sister, and her friends comes to a halt the minute I walk in a room, and all little girls STARE until I leave. Doll talk must be very confidential. And besides...Barbies are sooooo early nineties. Don't you know that Bratz are ALL the rage now? So says my very hip and knowledgable little sister, who, when she was about 5, told Mom and I that 'Chocolate is her destiny and she's allergic to cheap jewelry.' How can you argue with someone like that?

Mischief I'm sorry, could one of your nineteen personalities tell me why the heck Vader's name is even being called into question now? If we just wanna start pulling from the entire universe, The Q or the Borg could OWN Vader. The Q wouldn't even have to try really, if they wanted to just at some point pluck him out of the cozy confines of his armour and let him suffer miserably untill he turned all pale in the face and died without any of that life support his helmet provided, it wouldn't even take them the snap of a finger to disassemble his helmet and all that nonsense and make it so. Furthermore the Borg could assimilate them. Yes, for awhile the they could fight them off, but every time one gets chopped by a light saber or hit by a blaster, the collective alters their programming to deal with that the next time they see some lame Jedi running around in drag playing with a magic glow stick. Then you can't even try to match the Death Star with the awesomeness of the Borg cube... resistance is futile! okay... I'm done.

Sigh, I wasn't even going to response but... 'An average adult Wookiee stands more than two meters tall, and has a lifespan of several centuries. Aside from great strength and keen senses, Wookiees also have impressive regenerative abilities that allow them to recover from injury at a remarkable rate. Wookiees also have wickedly curved retractable claws used for climbing.' So they are big and bad, the one thing you seem to be forgetting is that despite all that, the Klingon's are warriors, they are born as warriors and if they have any honor at all, they die as warriors. Internally, Klingon anatomy was markedly different from that of Humans. There is a great deal more multiple redundancy in their organs, a principle they call brak'lul. This allowed Klingons to survive severe injuries in battle. They had twenty three ribs, two livers, an eight chambered heart, three lungs, and even redundant neural function and multiple stomachs. Some geneticists believed that the extra organs, notably the third lung, evolved to give Klingons greater stamina on the battlefield. Surprisingly, Klingons had relatively little knowledge of their own biology and their medicine is very poorly developed. This was largely due to their warrior traditions – a Klingon who is wounded was expected to be left to survive or die through his own strength, or to undergo the hegh'bat, a form of ritual suicide. See? They are BUILT for war, just because Wookies are bigger and furrier doesn't make them invincible in the eyes of a Klingon, they are like Spartans. Hm... how would the Enterprise handle a problem with trees I wonder? And that's just the Enterprise, Klingons have no rules prohibitting doing that whenever they felt like during a war. umm... what's that really have to do with anything? So Han solo is like Don King to Chewbacca's unintelligible Mike Tyson...? Am I missing something that's supposed to make that change my opinion on the matter?

Why does everyone keep talking about the Death Star though? The primary weapon is pretty much a fully charged phaser bank in a typical ship like The Enterprise, or a modified photon torpedo. And the Death Star was the ULTIMATE weapon of the Star Wars unviverse. Those puny fighters of the Star Wars universe aren't even a match for a couple of shuttles... I'll admit Wookies are tough, but The Klingons would only see them as over sized tribbles and go to work on their sorry arses. And I haven't even gotten into the Delta or Gamma quadrant races yet.
