In 40,000 years, each individual human will be able to beat the entire 40k universe thousands of times over. Just consider this: in the last 50 years, lifespans have gone from 40 years to >100 years. We have gone from having to write physical letters to having face-to-face conversations across the world. A hundred years ago, a man on the moon would have been what 40k is considered now. But we did it. Just imagine that after 40,000 years. We will be like Q from Star Trek.

But, since this is about sci-fi universes, I am going to say the Star Wars universe. Just consider a Jedi vs a Space Marine. Sure, the Space Marine might be able to take a few bullets, but a Jedi could cut through their armor. Also, Jedi have psychic power on the level of the Emperor, and they have thousands of them. Tens of thousands. Also, a Star Destroyer may not be as big as a 40k ship, but it has ten times as advanced of weaponry. You may bring up the Nova Cannon, but a few Star Destroyers have had Death Star-style superlasers which could easily outperform the Nova Cannon. For the everloving benevolence of the God Emperor, bitch please, do not bring up this rubbish.

1. Star Wars Ships are smaller and have far less people aboard and are not that suited to boarding actions

2. The SW military is not fighting with as many numbers as w40k in any theatre. Aka, as soon as they have to hold ground to have a base of operations, to resupply and so on, they are in deep shit. The Imperium can simply drown them in bodies and still come out in top with 99% losses (if they do not use Exterminatus, which is a rather common occurence in w40k as opposed to star wars)

3. The W40k Imperium is constantly fighting against enemies, their whole production is geared towards military strength.

4.The W40k Imperium is far more united for a single purpose than an force in Star Wars.

5. Last time I checked, no Jedi had galaxy spanning power, which Emps has. Thus no argument and if you wanna go the Psyker lane, sorry, the W40k Imperium has millions of those in employ on a daily basis, a number never reached in SW (also the Gal Imp of SW has less than a handful of powerful force users with Vader, Imperator and depending on the source, that one dude raised by Vader) the rebels have nobody aside from Kenobi and Yoda.

-->sidenote: you are aware of Pariahs?
