Can the Empire (Star Wars) take over the MCU?

[k von doom]

Let's say the Death Star, along with troops, Palpatine, Darth Vader, an indeterminate number of tie fighters and several Star Destroyers were transported to the MCU. Let's say it's the Empire forces that we see from Return of the Jedi. The Death Star starts traveling around the MCU trying to annex or subjugate the various alien races, how would the Empire against these?

- Earth
- Xandar
- Knowhere
- The Sovereign
- Kree
- Asgard

My guess is no. Too many power houses in the MCU.

Lets assume a completed Death Star, 1 Super Star Destroyer and 24 regular Destroyers. + The Force Wielders.

They reeeaaally dont have much to fear. They can scare the piss out of most MCU space faring races with the Death Star. It can just blow up a few nearby moons or low power shoot a few continents.

MCU space craft are sorely lacking in decent feats. The Kree have some bombing feats of Nuke+ level, but nothing that seemed super space useful. That and all their ships seem pretty squishy. SW's vessels at LEAST have decent shields and kiloton range standard weapons.

I see them intimidating or outright blasting everyone NOT named Asgard here. Asgard should actually win despite having the smallest fleet presence. Heimdall + various other Asgardian nonsense observe the SW forces from a distance. The Bifrost should be a convenient counter to the Death Star. At range, they crank the chamber up to maximum and give the DS a taste of it's own medicine. Alternatively, they port Thor onboard and he has a field day.

The Death Star is destroyed the second the Empire annoys Dr. Strange or his fellow sorcerers enough that they decide to open a portal directly to its reactor core and let someone blow it up.

Would they even know where the core is? It's big enough to be mistaken for a moon. Figuring out where to attack it at all was the entire plot of New Hope.

Haven’t seen anything in the MCU even in Thanos army that would beat a SW armada

To be fair, they were trying to attack it from the outside. Strange and company can just teleport in, figure out where the command center is, teleport there, them banish everyone there to the Shadow Realm, I mean, Mirror Dimension. Now Earth has its own Death Star.

Not to mention that it's now feasible for them to send someone back to borrow the Infinity Gauntlet (or at least one or more of the Infinity Stones) from before they send it back, them have Hulk rip the hull off of the Death Star ala Thanos-to-Titan's-Moon, or something.

To clarify: MCU Earth would EVENTUALLY manage something like this, but ONLY if team SW wants to subjugate them instead of blast them. They would fold and then plot a comeback with Intel or whatever. But they would "lose" by a surrender based 10 count unless the Scenario gives them plenty of time.

Way I see it, the Empire’s ability largely depends on 3 things:

1. Fleet movement. Do they stay together as one unit the entire time or do they split up?

2. How Earth finds out about the Empire

3. Carol. Can they put her down before she punches the Empire into submission?
