'Cause if he's some sort of Space King, he had to conquer a bunch of planets, right? He probably had to fight a bunch of space dragons. Or something as big as a space dragon. Right? I don't know a lot about Star Wars.

Darth Vader in the Star Wars movies is actually enormously ineffective. But that's something you're not supposed to say in polite company
This is LITERALLY the first thing you've posted in this thread that I 100% agree with.
Other than shooting some x - wings in the back that are flying down a trench in a straight line and choking out some bureaucrats he doesn't do much. It's no wonder the emperor wanted to replace him.

My gut says stormtroopers because of their technology, but then I remember that they were beaten by ewoks.

Definitely orcs.

I asked 2 friends this very question last night and both answered, without hesitation, Smaug.

By "friends" do you mean daughters? And by "answered" do you mean repeated what you said?

My daughters don't know who smaug is yet (Ellie has seen Jedi). And I just asked who would win. No attempt to skew the votes. But if I count them I need to count the friend who asked me this question in the first place, and he picked vader.

Once they're old enough to watch the hobbit I assume they'll pick smaug, because I'm raising them right

So that brings the total to 13-5. 7 if we count my girls future votes

Vader would easily destroy Smaug, it's not even a contest.

Actually Stip I just asked 1000 of my friends and they all picked Vader, so it's more like 1013-5.

Once again with the creative "counting," hey Stip. That's the same shit that lost Mick a few tournament rounds. :shake:
