[QUOTE=Jonathan;4705446]The naboo fighters aren't alone in the air either; don't forget the 20 snowdspeeders, the Fetts, and the speeder bikes can get fairly decent altitude as well, probably at least as good as a light helicopter.[/QUOTE]
That’s true. While I do have some doubts about how useful most of those would be in any aerial combat, they would serve well as cannon fodder to help keep the Naboo fighters alive longer.
Still, there’s a lot that can go wrong for team Star Wars even if they manage to take out the Helicarrier relatively quickly so I feel team MCU has a better chance at winning regardless. Even if it might not be as quick or one sided as I originally believed.

If the Fetts get Slave I with their prep time I see the helicarriers getting seismic-shellacked pretty quickly.

Mysterio could be a problem with his illusions, but I think the Force users will be able to see through that. Thanos and his Black Order could be a problem too, particularly the one with tk, though there are probably enough tk Force users to counter. Loki could also try something with his illusions, but once again, the Force users can probably see through it.
I don't really see a big problem that the SW side would run into more often than not that a force users couldn't counter. That brings us back to relatively conventional firepower and armor, and the SW side has a lot more of that, at least if the insight carrier is successfully brought down early enough.

The force users, sadly, have exactly ZERO feats for seeing through illusions, technilogical or magical.
And you are vastly underestimating the Edith drones: there are thousands of them, and they are faster than almost all the SW firepower (flying down from orbit to Italy in seconds) and most definitely capable of hurting it. And they are invisible and hiding behind illusions. The SW folks will spend most of their time shooting each other, thanks to the illusions, and in between, the THOUSANDS of Edith drones, who are trivially capable of destroying buildings and such, will hammer anything that isn't shot by a friend. And this is before Maw and Thanos and everyone else get involved.

In Return of the Jedi Vader was able to sense Luke's presence even though he hadn't seen him or gotten any information that he would be there.

Not precisely enough to target. He sensed that something was there.
Luke wasn't really trying to hide from Vader, and couldn't have anyway.

Hmmm I'm not sure how powerful the naboo fighters are.
If they were x wings yeah Star wars would have the fire power to annihilate the Hydra carrier but I would have to rewatch phantom menace and you can't make me do that

In the very first Star Wars movie ever made, Luke blocks blaster fire as a TOTAL novice with his vision completely obstructed. Trying to then say Mysterio illusions would bug them when the Peter Tingle sorted them out just feels off. They don't need visual sight at all to ascertain the truth of things.
I don't disagree with your assessment on the thread in general (unless the Naboo star fighters are better then I remember), just this one component.

In all fairness, pretty much the first piece of Jedi Training that Luke undertook was blocking light blasterbolts from a drone while blindfolded.
That being said, as HK-47 would point out, Jedi can usually only do stuff like that if they know to expect it in the first place, and can be overwhelmed if enough attacks come at once, and EDITH was not common knowledge and has a *lot* of drones.

EDITH was pretty common knowledge by the end of the movie though. The news + throngs of people observed the illusions dropping and reported on it iirc.
There are.... a LOT of drones though, yes. I also maintain that sabers are worse against solid bullets then blasters.
