Sure, a self-contained gravity field would provide some protection, but not from that MASSIVE an amout of acceleration.
Furthermore, Star Wars weapons would be useless against the Star Trek weapons. Something Ive discussed with other oldies  |
Star Trek is in no way based on meta-physics. It's just physics, fake physics, but physics none the less. Until you get to the places where they talk to God(original series) or meet the ancient spirits of the worm hole(DS9), which are so poorly done they should be ignored by all.
As for weapon comparison, I have never seen the like of the Sun Crusher, Darksaber, Death Star, or any of the massively destructive weapons from Star Wars that range from planet-sized to handheld. And of course FIGHTERS are always a nice thing in a fight, especially gobs and gobs of fighters with good weapon systems. Not to mention Star Wars capital ships do not instantly have some kind of critical failure in their drives, reactors, or shield generators EVERY TIME THEY GET IN AN IMPORTANT FIGHT.
Then you have the Blaster to the Phaser. The phaser doesn't even leave a mark, the Heavy Blaster Rifle carried by some Stormtroopers(several seen on Tatooine) leave little but a black mark where their target was, and the smaller lasers are also fairly deadly, but likely about an even match for Phasers. But then you have all the different grenades, vibropikes, lightsabers, armors, etc that Star Wars characters use.
