Jayne J Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Star Wars. (Episodes 4-6, NOT the new episodes 1-3 which are an utter travesty.) It is the formative back drop of my youth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpyTheFrog Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 We just finished watching season two of "Once Upon a Time." Does anyone else think that Captain Hook is like a much better looking version of Quark from Deep Space Nine? They are both consistent in siding with themselves and whoever happens to currently align with their goals, and everyone knows this, yet people still keep relying on them or making deals.

AlmiraGulch Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I cannot vote. The real answer is "Depends on the Movie". I loved and adored the first three Star Wars Movies.

elegantlion Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Star Trek. While I appreciate them both, Star Trek has a much larger impact on humanity. Star Wars is classic hero's journey fantasy. Ds and I had a long discussion this weekend on the merits of Star Trek inspiring future science, including space exploration. I remember watching Voyager and thinking so cool it would be to have one of those little portable computer things. At the time my CRT monitor weighed about a ton and took up the entire desk, even cell phones were just phones then. Star Trek not only gives us technology, it shows us how to be the best humans exploring so many cultural issues, simply using "aliens" in place of those not like us on Earth. Ds used to hurry up to get school done to watch DS9 every afternoon. I'm glad he had that experience taking his life lessons from the various Captains and their crews.

maize Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I voted Trek, but honestly I love both. Star Wars (well, the original trilogy, can't stand the prequels) is a prototypical grand epic, the battle of good and evil in which Good comes off supreme. There are reasons that story has been around for millennia! Star Trek isn't a grand epic, at it's best it is psychological exploration, a playground of ideas set in a universe which allows for almost limitless exploration of such.

ErinE Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Star Trek, hands down. Mostly because I'm disappointed in Lucas. I now imagine many SW fans saying, "Luuuucccccaaaasssss!" in a Captain Kirk voice. Star Trek, for the same reason. And I had "Return of the Jedi" sheets, curtains, and lunchbox as a kid. I have a teeny, tiny flame of hope that the next three Star Wars will be better than Episodes I-III. I also imagine there were studio execs who wanted to remove Lucas from the new films before the whole franchise reputation went down in flames.

Slartibartfast Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I am going to have to go with Star Trek, I love both but it seems like those who run Star Trek seem to care about the fans and the story more. I know George Lucas has said he is trying to cater to kids but that doesn't mean the story needs to suffer. I did watch some bad Star Trek movies and I resent it, but none of those compare with the new Star Wars movies. Vader yelling "NNNNuuuuuuuuuuuuu" made me laugh. He was just sloppy and corny. They have made some continuity errors in Star Trek but I don't recall anyone dying of *mope* The whale movie was silly (when it came out I thought it was awesome but I was a kid at the time) but it didn't annoy me as much that. If we were just talking about the old movies I would choose Star Wars but episode #2 and #3 make me want to tear my hair out. I liked episode #1 ok. It had some cool light saber fighting and I liked Darth Maul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucyStoner Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I haven't seen enough Star Trek to form an opinion. I vaguely recall a Star Trek movie when I was pretty young and a few snippets or clips here and there but I've never really seen it and what little I did see I don't really recall. By the time my parents lifted their really heavy TV restrictions, I was a hardcore bookworm hiding away while my mom and little brother watched TV. I know they used to watch Star Trek and I know that is when I saw one of the movies - it was on TV. I'd only seen snippets of Star Wars (this was when I was under 7 and very occasionally my family would rent a VCR from the convenience store) until I was pretty close to adulthood and my friends did a marathon of 4-6 largely because I'd never seen the movies. I saw 1 and 2 in the theater with my husband but we decided that whatever was coming next just wasn't worth it. I did buy a VCR at Goodwill for $1.29 to play the episodes 4-6 tapes my husband has owned since he was a child for our sons. They love them. But the tape format was sorta weird to them, lol. They really didn't understand what rewind meant. :P So I just don't know. Star Nothin? I do like Star Wars ok but it's not a big deal to me and I've never bothered to learn what I missed by not ever watching Star Trek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Meh. I can take or leave either one, but I went with Star Trek because of what EL said.

I liked the first 3 Star Wars movies, which are supposedly the last 3 but will always be the first 3 to me. :lol: My write-in votes are for Stargate SG-1 (the tv series - the movie not so much) and Battlestar Gallactica (except for the series finale which I thought was the lazy way out).

Audrey Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 If Star Wars had ended in 1982 (as it should have), I would have voted Star Wars, because that initial trilogy was darn near perfect. But, its integrity has been completely annihilated by the follow-up/prequel trilogy and the Disnification of the upcoming fresh hell that is next. So... Star Trek.

Every Star Wars movie begins with, "Long, Long Ago." Star Wars is set in the past. It is a history story, they have done the exploring and they have their Galactic Senate. Sometimes they come across a new species but rarely and even then all of those have been wiped out in the Great Genocide of Disney Resetting Canon. Star Trek is set in the future.
