There's the fact that the vast majority of weapons in star wars are lasers.
Like, almost all of them.
EVE has EM/Therm hardeners.
(also for reference a star destroyer is about 1.5-2x as long as a battleship, varying by race. The Apoc is almost as large as a star destroyer) |

Even though they call them "Lasers", star wars Lasers are not Lasers. They fire beams of plasma and high energy-parcticles. They are basically the same thing as EVE's Blasters, and would thus do Kinetic and Thermal damage.
Ion cannons on the other hand, would obviously do EM damage. It's not entirely certain if they would disable EVE ships in the manner which they disable SW technology, but eh.
Okay, you got me.
But the point stands - EVE ships can pretty easily harden themselves against the types of incoming damage.

I've done some heavy and in depth research on this (thank you wikipedia) and unfortunately i have bad news.
If the star wars fleet brought a death star we'd be royally screwed.
"No we wouldn't" i hear you cry we can send a torpedo down the exhaust port and blow it up.
Actually you couldn't.
The death star had a diameter between 120 and 160km, this means a radius of 60-80km.
With maxed skills, rigs and javelin torps i don't quite think it would be possible to get a torpedo to travel this far.
After travelling down "the trench" towards the exhaust port, when you fire the torpedo the torpedo would accelerate to it's maximum velocity, it would then need to slow down to change it's trajectory to go down the port and accelerate upto it's maximum velocity. It is at this point where the torpedo fails.
And we couldn't take the shield generators down as CCP wont let us down on planets yet.
*someone will now point out that i have mixed stats from both the first and second death stars, but i don't care.
You raise a valid point, except that I don't think that X-wings fire torpedoes in the eve sense.
A better comparison would be a light missile.
With maxed skills and missile rigs, ships like the humble condor can get a 94km range on light missils, which would in fact be far enough to reach the center of the death star.
