10 reasons why starwars is better than startrek

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

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

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!!!! big grin

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. smile
