Not so. It has been stated that a Constitution class has the firepower to level an entire planet. Also, the Empire doesn't seem to have the concept of force shields, otherwise how could a single fighter firing a single missile destroy the Death Star?
I'm not trying to revive that old nerd argument, because just looking at them I would agree with you. I'm just going by what characters in each universe have said about their own technology. The bottom line is of course the same as the equally silly argument concerning which version of Batman would win a fight: Whichever one the screenwriter said would win.
