• Place and time: Trek — Known universe and then some, a millennium or so (calculations vary) in the future. Wars — “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.”
• Philosophy: Trek — Scientific, egalitarian. Wars — Mystical, metaphysical.
• Intergalactic role model: Trek — United Nations. Wars — Roman Republic.
• The Enemy: Trek — Misunderstood alien life forms. Wars — Badass alien life forms.
• Sidearm of choice: Trek — Phaser; simple, adjustable, user-friendly, maximum setting leaves no messy corpses. Wars — Light saber; requires specialized training and advanced skills to operate. Potential litter nuisance from dismembered limbs.
• Travel method of choice: Trek — Transporter beam. Wars — Totally cool hyper-light-speed vehicles that sound like jet fighters even when crossing the vacuum of space.
• Fashion statement: Trek — Skintight knits. Wars — Flowing robes, loose tunics; female prisoners wear metal bikinis.
• Roles for women: Trek — Mini-skirted yeoman, communications officer, security chief, doctor, counselor, admiral, captain, robot, alien love object. Wars — Dishy monarch, haggard mom.
• Chess-playing alien first officers: Trek — Mr. Spock; pointy-eared, tall,
thin, competent, unflappable. Wars — Chewbacca; fur-bearing, tall, thin, competent, excitable. Tends to rip arms off opponents who beat him at chess.
• Likelihood of travel back in time to enlist 20th century earthlings against threats to Life As We Know It: Trek — very high; Wars — none. “In Star Wars, when they'refaced with a problem, the rebellion just blows the problem up,” Mr. Boercherding says.

I found this on a web page who else think this kind of funny?

i have always heard Trekkies trying to justify their existences, and i have always beat them at their justifications, so i find it great!!

Two thumbs way up!

I can give you one big reason SW is better, but it would just get edited...and probably get me banned.

I love it

well Creechuur just p.m me

haha!!!

Very clever...

(falls asleep)

Never could stand this type of thread. There was a vogue for them a couple of years back.

Well to be fair they both have their pros and cons, it just happens to be that with Star Trek you are being conned!

I can see the humor behind this little joke. Still, I always love Star-Trek and Star Wars the same. I can't really chose one above the other. Is all about Sci-Fi!!!!

The only thing Trek has going for it is Picard. That guys a stud, but even he would get his a$$ kicked in the Star Wars universe.

Can you even imagine what would happen between an Enterprise and a Star Destroyer? I guess the Enterprise would have about 30 seconds to do something while the Imperials laughed at their silly ship, then after wiping the tears of laughter from their eyes the turbolaser batteries would open up. Bye bye Enterprise.

Yeah, but the Federation has more than one Enterprise ship. It would be more interesting to watch the Federation fleet vs. The Empirial fleet battle. Picard is great but he will never be better than Kirk.

My Mum's a Trekkie so I've seen the films. They're alright...I just like SW better.

All my cousin's are Trekkies and they can't stand Starwars. If you ask me thats just sad.

10 reasons?


hell ill give you the real reason.



becuase startrek sucks period.

That was to the point!!

SMX

Well you sure shut me up!

Lovely reasons.....and I think the color of the signurature is fine

Hey Julie, how you doin'?

Corran, good buddy....long time no see....fine....just dropping by for a few minutes...then to eat and work and write....ahhh summer life.:-)

just commenting on the reasons....my reason has always been...star wars is just plain better...period!

much better, 'nuff said.

yeah but i would to think that Startrek is something we can try to achive ourselves.

well Julie what i said is just a metaphor on my signature but thanks.i think the color is grate too.

So is Star Wars - I've got a few friends that would make excellent Wookies!

star trek sucked so bad that the people who first aired it pulled it off the air.



after half a season and it gets pulled off the air than that means it does suck.

actually..they shouldn't sound like ANYTHING through the vacuum of space.

Star Trek is ok in my book. Is it better than Star Wars, oh hell NO! Star Trek is something I hope Star Wars won't become which is this on going thing going on and on and on. I think a Star Destroyer would kick the crap out the Enterprise. I think the Enterprise is only like 3 or 4 times bigger than the Tantive IV. Although, that Mr. Spock is one intelligent mutha fuker. I think they are both classic in their own little ways. No other Sci-fi genre has generated so much appeal. It is kind of like Batman vs. Superman.

Can anybody give me Han Solo Trilogy Transcript

I like Star Trek....BUT I must say I liked the movies better than the series. Kahn was cool! But Star Wars is waaaaaay better.

Noooooooooo, and I thought you were a Jedi

Ues to like Trek but now i thing its just stipid and plain sucks! To many spinoffs and not enough action, lame diolouge cheap movies. In my book SW RULZ!!! always will as long as they dont borrow ideas from startrek.

I am a Jedi Priestess, but I still liked 3 of the ST movies! hehe give a gal a break!

party pooper you wouldn't have a movie if the space sequences were dead silent

You liked 3 of them, you poor Deluded thing.
