In star wars, some weapons still incorperated wood into weapons instead of synthetics or metal like ME. Debatably, synthetic is better. In star wars, there were two (but never at the same time) planet-destroying weapons. In ME, there are many, many planet exterminating weapons (the reapers) In star wars, light speed travel is used. In ME, the Relays are used, which are quicker and more effective (as FTL transport is already used, but relay transport is better) In star wars, the ultimate weapon's primary weakness is a 2m wide exhaust port. In ME, the ultimate enemies has no primary weakness (still destructable, but not as simple as a single torpedo)

I think ME has superiority. If you were to exclude the reapers, then it would be far fairer. Although, the empire was defeated by little Ewoks, I don't think that the reapers will be killed so easily.
