This is like asking “Who would win in a fight, a submarine or a jet?”

The two combat styles aren’t comparable. Star Trek is based on naval battles, in fact, IMHO, the very best OG Trek episode, “Balance of Terror” was based on a WWII set submarine combat novel and movie called “The Enemy Below”:

Lucas specifically wanted Star Wars to emulate air combat and dogfights.
