    If Vader is in a prison cell with a front door that lets him see the door controls, he chooses to be there, you didn’t put him there.

      Nah, McCoy would just whip up a batch of kironide from Platonis. Kirk would laugh in Vader’s face:

      “Not only do we have your psychokinetic abilities, but at twice your power level.”

        And than he chops him down with a laser sword while deflecting the stun phaser shots.

        Ones a cold blooded murdering psycho trained from a young age to kill, the other is a sexual explorer of the cosmos.

        Vaders jealousy would fuel his rage.

          Kirk has already handled a planet of Sith. Vader can’t lift his arm without Kirk allowing it because Kirk has twice Vader’s power.

          They must have psychokinetic dampening fields in the brig or every telekinetic alien would run rampant.

      Not necessarily.

      Cut and pasted from an r/whowouldwin from years ago:

      There is only one way for Kirk to win (unless it’s Enterprise vs. Executor, but that’s a different fight and one where Kirk will stomp), and he cannot do it alone. It goes like this:

      Kirk: Darth. . . Vader is it? Tell me more of the power of the Sith? If the Federation is to be. . . subjugated. . . by this Galactic Empire you speak of, I would know more of the glory that being part of it will bring to my people and the. . . legacy of these Sith overlords!

      Vader (pauses before striking the killing blow): . . . Yes. It IS fitting that you should know more of the power of the Sith. Many years ago. . .

      minutes pass

      . . . and that is why the Federation stands no chance against the Empi. . .

      *A cheesy, tinny sound effect is heard and a warbley distortion field surrounds Vader for a second.

      Vader: WHAT IS THIS TREACH. . . gah!

      Vader collapses to the ground. Moments later both are beamed aboard the Enterprise. Two security red shirts take a paralyzed Vader prisoner while Spock and McCoy, looking smug, greet Kirk.

      Spock: It is excellent to see you in good health, Captain.

      Kirk: I did just as you said. Kept him talking. How were you able to do it?

      Spock: As we learned from our sensor readings, the Sith ““force”” power is actually generated by a host of symbiotic microscopic organisms distributed throughout his blood stream. I was able to analyze the unique energy signature of these tiny creatures. But it was Doctor McCoy who speculated that an inverse chronoton bubble would have a disorienting effect on them.

      McCoy: Like a phaser on stun, right in their tiny organelles. They won’t be making any more trouble for a few hours at least, I reckon.

      Scotty (from behind transporter control): Aye Captain, and then it were just a matter of firin’ an electromagnetic pulse into his cybernetic suit. Now he’s just a crippled man in powerless armor.

      Kirk: A fitting punishment for such a. . . diabolical villain. This ““Galactic Empire”” will think twice before the next time they mess with a Federation star ship.
