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.

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.

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!!!!

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.
