The Borg cube would find the inherent flaw in the Death Star and exploit it. Borg cubes can’t be destroyed easily just through weapons fire because they’re self-repairing and have adaptive shielding.
AFAIR the force only works in that galaxy, rendering Force Users incapable of their super natural powers outside or heck even influence those that come without meaty chlorians midichlorians (Vuuzhan Vong).
We haven’t seen the Borg using generic engineering AFAICR, but it seems like something they would do. Assuming midichlorians are canon, I think the Borg could discover and replicate them. Surely one of the species they assimilated had bioengineering mastered.
that was basically the plot of Star Wars: The Bad Batch.
The best geneticists in the universe (the same who make the clones) couldn’t, but they were getting close, in theory. Could the borg? Maybe. Eventually.
So all the Borg needs is a superstar flyboy hero type in a little one manned spacecraft with a little energetic torpedo to fly an impossible space battle against thousands of TIE fighters, fire his way to the Death Stars surface, fire his torpedo in an exact location and blow up the entire thing on his own.

I guess even if the Death Star were able to destroy a single Borg Cube, that would be it at most.
I would say so. Also, Borg Cubes are decentralized, which makes them harder to cripple, let alone destroy.

I guess that depends on whether or not force powers work a long time from now in a galaxy right, right here.
Yeah, they used to say that about queer people too.
Dark side pride!
Dare to be different, I guess:-D.

meaty chloriansmidichlorians (Vuuzhan Vong).Fun fact, did you know that there is actually now a type of prokaryote genus named after the midichlorians? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midichloria
Didn’t Ahsoka show that they worked in that other galaxy they went to? It was not an especially good show IMO so I didn’t exactly commit it to memory.

Oh, never stop working badly, autoincorrect! 🤣
What fun.

Definitely a two parter.

They did in Picard Season 3 (which retroactively told us they were doing it as far back as Best of Both Worlds)
Oh right. I totally blocked that out.
The death star shoots a beam so if the Borg cube was insulated well enough they could just let the death star drill a hole through it.
The planet killer shot is bigger than a Borg cube. In a DVD scene where the Death Star fills the entire screen, a Borg cube would be 1 pixel.
Yeah I suppose I didn’t really think of that. I always forget how big the death star was meant to be.

If you go by the screenshots of the movie when it shot Alderaan, the laser blast would envelope the entire cube.
