Before anyone says anything-- Yes, I know this is similar to comparing apples to oranges..... But I have to ask- Which is a better story?
I grew up watching star trek(old skool) and Dr. who since I was 4 years old, I didn't see star wars until I was 6. I liked star trek in its spinnoffs, but for me I have always felt that star wars really grabbed me- I just feel like although star trek was a tv series and there were three star wars movies--((( THERE IS NO PHANTOM MENACE!!!!)))-- DIE JAR JAR DIE!!)))
The reason why I feel the star wars(original) is better is because of the fact of its quailty of storytelling was linear- all star treks really had--(up until voyager) was an almost Sit-com-esk tendancy of returning to where the characters had started at the beging of the show(which weakened it in more ways than one I think), My brothers are both serious trekkies, and I have read their paraphanila-- I simply believe that star wars universe feels more sturdy, and better thought out for the most part. Now this is a point for discussion and I wanna see how other people pull in on this issue-

Star Wars.

For the simple reason that I never watched Star Trek. Please don't flame me... I'm a girl, and from Europe, and brought up in an old-fashioned way!!!

Movies? Star Wars. Storyline? Star Trek. The episodes are much more interesting, funny to watch (old/original version) and thought provoking. How original is Star Wars? Not very. It's about a boy who becomes a knight, trained by an old wizard, and goes off to rescue a princess who's swept away by an evil wizard and all of his cronies. Good job on the originality, Lucas. That hasn't been written about countless times over the past thousand or so years.

Star Wars is better, swords, higher powers, more like anime. That's as far as the issue goes with me.

I thought they both sucked.

Well, SW was ok, but I could never see the point in getting all fanatical over it. I saw atleast 5 episodes of all the different star trek series, and I thought all of them sucked. It's usually the captain in star trek that pisses me off, too.

I'd vote for Star Trek just for the fact that it's an interesting study of what the human race can become. Star Wars just happened too long ago, and the galaxy it occured in was just too far away.

my thoughts exactly. star trek takes place in our future. star wars is more fantasy-like and to me, less realistic. You never hear anyone talking about engineering or physics, etc in star wars. everything just is. and when they introduced metaclorites that just fucked everything up (sort of like with Blade). you can't make a mysterious force, have people use their imaginations with it, then explain it and be like "your imagination was wrong!".

i liked SW for jsut that.. it was all just a story to get caught up in.. it's what makes me a huge movie fan, and wind up suffering 3 years in slave labor running them.. anyway, ST has some deep meaning behind it.. granted it's a good one, and i think they do well with it, and i like ST... but i'd watch the SW movies anytime over ST episodes.. save maybe the first ST movie.. i liked V-GER..

If I were to compare just the movies and tv episodes, no books, I would say I prefer SW. Why? Fewer hole and incongruities. For each new ST series, things don't match up. Even within the same series. If anyone can find the Star Wars equivalent to this link, I'd be happy to read it.
