 Star Wars vs Star Trek Hatemail: RSA on Cloaking Technology
Cloaks in Star Trek rely on their opponent being either incapable of analyzing relevant sensor data for anomalies or incapable of detecting any of a number of traits that alert wary passersby of the ship's presence.
Star Trek cloaking devices do not even prevent telepaths and empaths from finding them, as shown in "Star Trek: Nemesis." In Star Wars, to be effective a cloaking device would almost certainly need to do such a thing in order to be effective.
Thus it is clear that Star Wars sensors can easily be modified to pick up disturbances in the Force, and that such sensors can fit in very small volumes—the probe droids shown in TPM are smaller than one cubic meter.

First, Star Wars vs Star Trek normally means "could the Empire kick the Federation's ass".
Generally speaking, the sheer scale of the Empire (millions of planets, able to build moon-sized Death Stars) is vastly greater than that of the Federation, so Trekkies try to take the sheer size and numerical advantage of the Empire out of the equation, and simplify matters into straight ship vs ship comparisons.
Moreover, the ST books' status has been officially stated as mere "speculation" (see John Ordover), although SW books are supposedly "quasi-canon" (see the Star Wars Encyclopedia foreword).
