Ah this debate... It's always hilarious to hear them debate who has the better technology. To be honest, not that I'm a fan of Trek or anything, but they do seem to outclass the SW universe in pretty much every technical field. Of course, as far as warriors, I do believe the Jedi could easy take on any Klingon, well, except maybe that one Klingon my trekkie friend goes on about that supposedly forged one of those weird Klingon blade weapon thingies by dipping his very hair into some volcano. But, he's a hero unit from some long agon era of might and magic, so he doesn't count, or does he?
Anyway, back when "The Force" was magic, I do believe a Jedi could actually destroy a Q, beings so intuned with the laws of physics they could easily control them, but would be damaged by something that actually breaks the laws of physics, magic, but now that ol' George is giving a scientific explanation of the force, and slowly removing it's magical nature, I think they could be snapped out of existance like any other non-magical being.
Oh well, in the end, Samus could take 'em all on. The Fett family greatest bounty hunter? Pah, they both died pathetic anti-climactic deaths, using such inferior weapons as a "laser gun" and a true flamethrower, and a jet pack. Samus however has space jumping, a plasma based "flamethrower", armor that can easily stand a blow by the strongest beam or material based weapons, a cool energy arm cannon, and a morphing ball. All created with technology so advanced that it looks magical even to the era she's from. Of course, like the Xel'Naga, the poor Chozo ended up being destroyed for all their advancements, by one of their very creations ("wisely" made by them to counter the Metroid world's version of the Zerg before it could gain too much genetic advancements, like genetically cloning and improoving upon the ultimate warrior).

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
