The Death Star is about the most technologically superior station in the entire universe, but it\'s slow, it has a HUGE exhaust port which must be dumping out tons of toxic waste, and it has lasers for defense with a range of about 2 miles. Ohhh... scary. So what about it\'s big gigantic planet destroying laser? Any smart captain would learn that the large indented shape is the source of the weapon, so if you stay behind the giant globe, you can easily avoid that and clobber it from long distance. 3 Borg Cubes would be more then enough to assimilate the entire Star Wars universe in a matter of weeks.
Depends if you\'re also incorporating the extended (and much cooler) Star Wars Universe that are covered in the books that are supposed to follow Episode 6.
If so, to your first point Exar Kun (the dude who created the Sith in Kevin J. Anderson\'s book, and not Darth Bane as described in Terry Brooks\' retarded Episode 1 book) took on an army of 1000 jedi and even though they killed his body he\'s spirit still remained and helped turned Kyp Durron to the dark side not to mention he kicked the living snot out of Luke (who at the time was a Jedi Master). I figure Exar Kun could take Data.
Then you\'ve got a whole bunch of other Jedi now in the Jedi academy, including the coolest of the bunch - Corran Horn (think a Jedi Han Solo with a twist of Obi Wan), and tons of others like Mara Jade, Jacen, Jaina and Anakin Skywalker (Leia\'s youngest son) - and that\'s just to name a few. I\'m sure they could take out the Klingons and those Shape Shifter guys.
As for the death star - well the DS is a pea shooter compared to Centrepoint Station that orbits Correlia (Han Solo\'s home) which has the power to destroy stars from across the galaxy. You also have the Sun Crusher developed by Qui Xux (the clueless woman who also invented the Death Star) - the Sun Crusher is indestructable - Kyp Durron used it to smash right through planets and it can cause stars to Super Nova. I figure Centrepoint Station and the Sun Crusher could take the borg.
You also now, with Michael A. Stackpole, R.A Salvatore, and James Luceno\'s books, the most bad-ass villians in sci-fi history - the Yuhzan Vong who\'re currently (in the series) making the jedi their *****es.
OF COURSE - this is if you use the extended Star Wars Universe as described in the books.
If you use silly Lucas\' universe by itself......I figure Picard and Data in a runabout could take down the empire.
