Red suns weaken him, but not fast enough for him to just suddenly lose his powers in hard vaccum.
Superman tanked multiple blasts of red sun radiation from a sun eater, flew into its red sun core to deploy the entropy bomb, and despite the radiation weakening him, he was still powerful enough to tank the subsequent detonation (which, again, was 50x stronger than a supernova.)
On the Comic Book "Verses" thread its hard to find examples of Superman speed blitzing (faster than light).. He blitz people several times the speed of sound a lot, but thats not very fast in comparison to SW ships.
So I dnt see him Blitzing an army of Star Destroyers with hundreds of Lasers shooting at him from all directions..
And I really dnt see him taking that much Fire Power either.. Supes got taken out by Hawkman using the power of the Earth's Magnetic field (or something).. So I dnt see him taking the combined Firepower of Several Star Destroyers and hundereds of Tie-Fighters..
Let alone single handidly defeat the entire Empire (which is bound to be made up of many systems with Red Suns as well)..
Show me an example of Supes (single handidly) defeating an alien army, and then Il rethink my stance on this.
Oh and also with all the resources at Palpatine's and Vader's command (which in comparison makes Lex Luthor's resources seem like kid's toys) they could easily find out Supe's weakness and make a bunch of Kryptonite weapons.
If this was Silver Age Supes then yes he would defeat the Empire easily, but not Current Supes. But I think everyone's over selling Current Supes here. If we are talking Current Comic Book Supes that is..
Also Animated Supes would'nt stand a chance, (in fact animated Supes would probably get defeated just by Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer)..
And Movie Supes would go down too. In Superman 3 he gets knocked out by an Advanced Missile, and has trouble dodging a few rockets shot at him.. He does do the "Faster than Lightspeed" thing to turn back time at the end of Superman: The Movie, but he's never shown he can fight at those speeds.

Thats what Im saying, Supes doesn't Blitz at Light Speed. The kind of Blitz's he does against single opponents who dnt move very fast will be a lot easier than Blitzing a whole System full of ships that must travel a lot faster than Super Sonic speeds.
And the hundreds of lasers they fire simultaneously wnt be easy to dodge.

Same way Lex Luthor did??
The Empire has advanced technology and thousands of scientists to work out Superman's Origin, and weaknesses.
Originally posted by DARTH POWERI recall someone once posting a scan of a comic in which Silver-age Superman is flying so fast that he was literally weaving in and out of radiation. The TIE Fighter's in-atmosphere max speed is just under Mach 1. Frankly if a bunch of regular human pilots can fly those ships and dodge those lasers, then Superman will have no trouble.

Originally posted by DARTH POWERYeah. How? In four years, these same scientists couldn't work out a brilliant plan to trap one tousel-haired kid who actually relied on the same predictable physics as them. And I wasn't aware that Krypton was in the Star Wars galaxy--where is the Empire gonna find the (literal) pieces of his weakness, and how are they going to get close enough to him to examine what makes him tick (or stop ticking)?

That slow?! Really? Dnt we have jet fighters on Earth which are faster?
Still Several Star Destroyers shooting hundreds of lasers, as well as hundreds of tie fighters would not have a problem hitting him. He's been hit by much much slower and fewer opponenets.
