Morgoth and all his forces during the War of Wrath vs. Emperor Palpatine and an Imperial Fleet

Haha, I thought this one would be fun to think about. I think Morgoth and his Balrogs and Dragons might supersede the weapons of the empire... Maybe not though.

But it's no match against Morgoth, Sauron, dragons, werewolves, spiders, Balrogs and vampires.

As mighty as the Emperor and his fleet is, he would do well not to offend Morgoth. And Morgoth would be right to crush him. We don't want any George Lucas creations in Middle-Earth!

he'd have no qualms about shooting first.
Apologies for "Han shot first" reference...but not that many. ;)

So when the screams and the blood and the horror of battle take him, he would not stand and fight. He would flee, and he would be right to do so.

Morgoth did have limited orbital capacities

We know Morgoth attacked Tilion, a.k.a. the Moon, in his orbit by sending "spirits of shadow" against him (Silmarillion, Of the Sun and Moon). Tilion fended them off, though. So Morgoth did have at least limited capacities for an orbital strike, though not very formidable ones if a single Maia gave them the boot. I doubt these spirits wold have been terribly effective against interstellar battlecruisers.
So a win for the Empire, but they would have at least to do some work up there before being able to melt Thangorodrim with da laz0rs.

Ha, that's kind of like saying, "Why didn't Frodo just ride an eagle over the crack of doom?" I guess I'm assuming only ground forces here.

Because stormtroopers and orcs are equally unable to hit anything. 
(And by their sheer masses they're blocking the more effective fighters from reaching the battlefield.)

I love anything from Middle Earth so much more but realistically The Empire has more technology and could simply orbit the planet and shoot hell down on Morgoth.
