Voted for Treck because even though I love the Star Wars universe, I genuinely loathe the story Lucas crafted for it. That said, though... both Treck and Wars take a back seat for me to Babylon 5, Firefly, and the remake of Battlestar Galactica.

Before the blu-ray box I would have gone Star Wars. Now I don't really care.

Star Wars is now an awful caricature of itself and of the original three only ESB was actually any good.

Trek smashes Wars in every way. Even Darth Vader has been made into a joke. Khan Singh never cried 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!'

I like both, but Star Wars for me. I always loved the original trilogy since a kid and KOTOR was one of the best games of my life.

On the other hand, KOTOR 2 was one of the biggest disapointments in my gaming life...

The funny thing about Star Wars is, at least from my experience, is that no SW fan loves all the movies or even parts of movies. Some of them even suck balls but fans have the ability to ignore the things they don't like and love the things they do.

We don't speak about the dark heresies....

Exactly my point! I love star wars but there are un-mentionables! As long as certain things are not said it's great.

Yeah not every minute of Star Wars is gold, especially the prequels and remasters.........but have you watched a Star Trek movie? Seriously, mostly awful except for WOK of course! Really, really terrible movies for the most part.

Until the newest one. Thats a peice of brilliance IMO

I think the relaunch Star Trek was the second best next to WOK. Kind of surprised they have not done another actually.

Star Trek 2: Electric Boogaloo is coming in 2013 I believe.

Star Wars. Yes, the prequels suck; so do most of the Star Trek movies and most of Voyager and Enterprise. Directly comparing the originals and Star Trek TNG, I find myself liking the basic cheesiness of Star Wars to the pretentious cheese of TNG.

Huh, well what do you know?

Heh, Star Trek amuses me to say the least. STAR WARS ALL THE WAY!!!

P.S. Clone Wars and the new Disney bull sucks.

Star Wars all the way

Wow, surprised that so many people like those crappy TV shows. Farscape especially, but also Star Trek, Stargate, and every show where some douche is transported back in time to our time, or with robots that look indistinguishable from humans (with the exception of BSG). Poor effects, poor acting,, poor cinematography, lousy storylines. This comes from a complete Sci.Fi. nut. I watch almost everything sci.fi. but those low budget TV shows are just too crappy. They actually have a lot in common with those kid shows on Disney channel, like Hannah Montana, Jesse etc.

It's like they just stuck some actors, who never graduated acting school, some metal painted cardboard and some homemade 3D software into a cookie cutter and stamped those shows out like their lives depended on it. If I sound bitter about this, it's because I am. Being a giant sci.fi. fan, I'm always filled with hope when I see a new sci.fi. show come out, only to be deeply disappointed when I notice it's just the same old crap.

There was a time I would have said Star Wars, but SW is dead to me now. Original cast Star Trek movies are where its at. Ill pass on TNG.

STARWARS!

The SW galaxy is just 100% more interesting and entertaining then Star Trek.
Star Trek is very Dry and bland IMO and even if SW is Eye candy, whats wrong with that? its got depth, its got good backround, Some fans just get to serious with it sometimes is all.

I am one of the few that enjoyed all 6 movies!

4,5,6, were obviously the best, then people asked for more! so George lucas gave it to them!! 1,2,3,.. then eevryone complained it wasnt good enough! lol

they are all good in their own way, fans just get to involved and in depth/technical as if its real when its a science FANTASY movie...

When i was younger i loved Star Wars.

Agree. Both galaxies are so boring and weird. I fell for 40k. Its an awesome SciFi.

Both. For totally different reasons

So, what do you watch?

Star wars is great, I love episodes 1-6 and can't wait to see how much better diseny makes it.

My answer :

WARHAMMER 40,000 beats them both by 40,000 lightyears.

Because no pyjama-dressed warrior can compare with the Space Marines, the Inquisition and the Chaos Legions.

The force is strong in this one.

This is a trait that's unique to SW fans?

You are an empty consumption unit and will never be a real person.

Films: SW Destroys ST even if you include the newer wars films-all the trek films are terrible.

TV-wars only has the clone wars bilge so trek wins.

Totty - trek wins, 7of 9, t-pol and jadzier Dax (plus lots of dabo girls) wars has the princess in slave out fit then nothing.

Star Wars seems to have fallen so far. There was a time when you could say to someone "May the force be with you" and it was actually kind of cool. I can't even imagine that now. Aside from being very uncool, it would also just feel empty and meaningless after the whole midichlorians thing. There are a lot of bad things you can say about the prequels, but for me, what made them really terrible, is that they robbed Star Wars of all its magic. They made the force into an infection, Yoda into a fool, Luke's Father into a brat, Light Sabers into glowing Samurai Swords, and the Jedi into Space Cops. Even the old films that I loved so much just don't seem the same any more.

I actually voted Trek, it's a pretty solid drama that's always kept its focus on the human story.

Just in my humble opinion the Star Wars universe just seems like the more interesting place that I would want to explore.

Now now we have the director of the new Star Trek movies directing the new Star Wars movies.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/26014/j-j-abrams-to-direct-star-wars-ep-7

I'd have to go with Star Wars, may change my mind depending on what Disney does with these next movies lol

I prefer lar gars
