Anything stopping Palpatine and Vader combining their powers to paralyze Supes??
But if we're talking comic supes, he is an overpowered tool. But the animated Supes defo could not take out the GE. He barely took a shot from the Watchtower's laser beam, so an SD should pretty much destroy him and the DS would be overkill.
Anyway thats all assuming Supes even has powers in the SW Galaxy.
I think comic Supes is who everyone was referring to..
I'm assuming this battle would take place in a neutral universe, wherein Superman's powers would be fully operational... Unless you think the thread starter intended for Superman to be powerless.

Gideon. The sad bastard who wrote this 6000 word essay on his favourite character but gives me shit for liking the Joker.
I don't think current Supes has changed much. I mean, he's no longer at pre-crisis levels where he was sneezing away galaxies, but he's still plenty powerfl. Not enough to tank the DS laser, butstill.
Current Superman has survived supernovas. A beam capable of destroying single planets might KO him for a moment, but that's about it.
But tbh, the Death Star beam should never even touch him. Supes has proven (multiple times) that he can perceive/react/move much faster than the speed of light.
Superman tanks a few blasts of red sun radiation, deploys an entropy bomb in the heart of the (red)Sun-Eater, then tanks the initial subsequent blast (which was 50x more powerful than a supernova.)
...All while growing progressively weaker. Insane, I say.

Also worth noting that Superman once got punched with the equivalent mass of planet Earth right in the jaw and only suffered a bloodied lip. He appeared to be KOed but he was playing Possum.
The Death Star would be next to useless against Superman, in fact the Empire would be smart to try to scrap it and use its spare parts to make a fleet of smaller ships that might have a slim chance of being effective against him.

I have read that Superman is susceptible to mind control from two characters known as Maxwell Lord and Maxima? I hope this rings some bells for comic book junkies, because I have no idea who they are.
Neutrinoes are particles that can pass through the entire planet earth without actually interacting with anything because they have no charge. Very rarely, maybe a dozen (recorded) times a day, a neutrino will strike a water molecule in the antarctic and the extensive network of sensors installed there will pick up the resultant flash of light. You are currently being bombarded with neutrinoes and experience literally no effect.
In a supernova, so many neutrinoes are generated that the outer portion of the star is blown apart.
This is my favorite astronomy fact. [SPOILER - highlight to read]: why is gideon banned again?
