In Star Wars, the average ship can jump across the galaxy in a day. Uhm, no, that would take months as far as I could understand. I think it's a hundred lightyears each day or something like that.
Heh, no. Take a look at The Phantom Menace. They go from Naboo to Tatooine in less than a day (a quarter of the way across the galaxy at least- Mid Rim world to Outer Rim world), then from there to Coruscant in about a day (halfway across the galaxy- Outer Rim world to Core world). Take a look at all the other movies, and you'll see the same thing happening. Star Wars hyperspace travel is very, very fast.

Or the SW galaxy is very very small... I'm on your side, but we have to look at all the possibilities.

I've read some SW books, and there it's not so fast... maybe the travel time is simply not mentioned in the movies ?
However... this is probably the correct authority

Although this is a bit vague, too.

I kinda mentioned this [urhttp://uqm.stack.nl/forum/index.php?topic=2933.msg37504#msg37504]before[/url], but since Star Wars happened "a long time ago in a galaxy far far away" and Star Control happens here and just a little into the future the events of Star Wars are long over when the events of Star Control start. Now if you want to just throw a "time warp" bandaid on the concept to make it work, worse things have been done to justify this sort of thing, but that's just so cheep I can't justify it.

Star Wars wins, hands down. Star Trek would too.

Just thought I'd bring this to attention:

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

Try stardestroyer.net, hit the forums, and look for the cleaned-up fanfics section. The proprietor has a good crossover fic on the subject. There are several others.
I would say that the sa-matra is quite strong, probably more akin to one of the EU superlaser-equipped super star destroyers.
