Star Wars is cool, Star Trek is cool, witch is cooler?

Both are cool, wich do you think is cooler? and why, give your reasons for likeing it more then the other. Me i Like Star Trek better. because it is about people not about wars! 😎

Star Trek are for the cluless it is extremly bad. And Star Trek is about galactical conflicts as well. And in my mind nothing happens in the ST movies.
I like SW because it has nothing to do with Earth.

Ya well i like Star Trek because it has somthing to do with Earth, if you havn't figured this out by now Earth is our "home world"! and the star trek movies do go some were! they boldly go some were!

Yes, the witch is cooler...

Sorry, I mis-understood.

Ok, StarTrek has done some great sutff over time. Next Gen especially was never afraid to push back boundaries with episodes like 'Frame of Mind', or even put good spin on cliched ideas in 'Cause and Effect'

First Contact may not have been a proper Star Trek film per se, buit it DID so that Star Trek can do action if it wants.

To be fair, I think both series have both their massive wars and personal relationships... Star Trek has a lot more time, however, so more personal development is inevitable.

Sadly Star Trek often goes massivley off-course, as the closing Voyager episodes lurch on, moslty pointlessly. And for me, it has never QUITE caught my imagination in the same way Star Wars did.

So, my vote is for Star Wars. But I like them both, thought ST should know when to stop...

From my perspective I like them both but I would suugest that I find Star Trek The optomist and Star Wars the realist. Given that my general attitude to life is that I find shiny bright sparkly things are not the only way forward I will go with Star Wars any day...I stand with the Realists...

yes in genral star wars is more real and star trek is more optamistic, but have you ever heard of some one having the force? in that respect star wars could never hapen. and star trek has the telapaths but they are alians and so that could hapen.

Telekinesis and mind reading are two very well documents, though still not entirely proven skills. The ability to channel ones life energy is the basis of many martial arts skills.

These are the three main elements of the Force....

The Universe is a BIG place and therefore it is a certainly that there is other life out there, and a good chance that a lot of it is much more advanced than we are.

There are concepts and sciences that we just have no way of understanding or even contemplating. One day we will get out there and probably will find other life forms, but this is probably a good few millenia away.

Star Trek and Star Wars are works of fiction, I see where Zereil is coming from though. Star Trek was originally built around an almost Utopian concept, which they have subsequently worked to correct in later incarnations of the series. Star Wars is built around a concept of War and this is much closer to what we might conrrently consier to be normal nature. Whether that is right or wrong is another conversation entirely though.

Just read the book called "The Science of Star Wars" it will explain everything. 😄 And as far as which is better, Star Wars. I never really got into ST, no offense to anybody, but I always thought it was boring.

I feel I sbnould say that in no way is StrTrek less ridiculous that Star Wars... hafe you seen somemof the complete nonsense some of the writers have spouted? They've had several hundred episodes to get more weird in, so fair enough.

The Force may be an unbelievable concept, but at least SW has never dredged the terribly nonsensical path of time travel... and a dozen other nutty things.

And as far both series' view on gravity...

Of course, it doesn't matter. Everyone accepts that sci-fi is nonsense, in the same way they like wizards in fantasy. It's part of the point.

But let it never be said that ST is more believable than most of the stuff out there...

Howeverm, I dispute the stance that SW is the realist to STs optimist. They are BOTH optimists, just they take different paths. ST is about Utopianism, SW is personal redemption.

You're not telling me that the end of ROTJ was anything other than pure optimism, are you?

'Realist' sci-fi bleongs to the Babylon 5s and Space: Above and Beyonds of this world.

Everyone seems to have forgotten the Q's. They're the Star Trek equivalent of Force users, with far more unrealistic powers.

Oh, the ST universe is full of super-powerful beings... but to be fair, the Q can't really be called the equivalent of Force Users.

The Q are more godlike than anything else.

The Q are more godlike than anything else.

Both are purdy cool. Prior to the release of Episode 1 I would have said Star Wars, for sure, but now I am getting quite into Star Trek, even though TNG was a bit girly. Episode 1 was awful. 🤣

I like old Star Trek, because I get a kick out of camp and its cool today I think because of the campiness, much the same as the original batman. But I am true and true to George and his "little space thing".

mmmmmmmmmmmm i like the star trek movies

but star wars for me

voyager and deep space nine are boring

i think weve got to remember two words
science and fiction

its all a bit of fun

i was checking out the bbc forums and theres a site dedicated to eastenders and the people on there talk about it like we talk about star wars

now thats sad

I find with Star Trek that there are a lot of Mundane bits, sprinkled with some amazingly classic stuff. I refer to things like.

The Best of Both Worlds - TNG
Scorpion - V
Times Arrow - TNG
All Good Things - TNG
Past Tense - DS9
Trials and Tribble-ations - DS9
Futures Edn - V

Just MHO OC

Star Trek First Contact is one of the coolest Science Fiction films around. Both Star Wars and Star Trek have their qualities, so both are cool, neither are cooler than the other. 😄

Gotta admit I prefer SW, though I do watch ST sometimes. I think the reason why people love Star Wars so much is the reason why I prefer it; it's a completely different world. Star Trek is still about humans from Earth, whilst Star Wars is total fantasy. It took place in a galaxy far, far away. What do you guys think?

Oh my God...no offense, but I think Star Trek is consumed of horrible costumes, consisting of halloween masks, and dracula capes. Star Wars is so much better, you have no idea. No offense to anyone here, but I remember getting in a debate with some other guy on this. Then he was speechless when I brought up the fact that no Star Trek movie was even in the Top 100 ever, yet all 4 Star Wars movies are in the Top 15
