It's real hard to say.  After all, the Death Star in ROTJ only got off
ONE shot.  Another klduge to help the good guys win...  We are
confronted with the staggering concept of a now FULLY OPERATIONAL Death
Star... which only fires one shot.  It should have creamed the entirety
of the Rebel forces in no time flat.  Unless it had to sit around for a
half an hour to recharge the gun ... which I doubt.

The Enterprise could have easily kidnapped the Emporer or Darth Vader
with the transporter.
