Well, it takes the Death Star like 30 minutes to get in position, but Star Trek’s superweapons take like eight minutes to arm. So clearly you want the Empire to build your weapons system, but use StarFleet engines.
what if somebody else had written LOTR ?
Doctor Who
Warsies.
Star Wars is better… blows up planets. Star Trek has photon torpedoes that, when lobbed down to the planet, do less damage than if you had simply dropped a rock from orbit. Sad, sad, really.
Nonsense! In the ST:TNG episode “The Chase”, a couple of Klingon battlecruisers were able to raze the entire surface of a planet (rendering it uninhabitable) over the course of a few minutes.
Or did you mean “if you had simply dropped a really really big rock from orbit”?
Well, Star Trek has Q… And he could turn Darth Vader into a tu-tu wearing ballerina with a wave of his hand…

Well, SPOOFE should be here any minute now.
Sheesh… must have slipped through a wormhole or something. SPOOFE is already here. :smack:
Bah!
All the Federation would have to do is seed Corusant with a few tons of antibiotics. No more Force Bacteria, no more Force.
Mitachlorians?? Sheesh. What the hell were you thinking, Lucas??
Star Trek.
Star Trek wins because Star Trek has Spock in it.
What about Star Wars, hah? Does your precious Star Wars have Spock in it? …No?
There you go, then.
KHAAAAAAN!!!
Star Wars has X-Wings. And WEDGE!!!
Rogue Three, going in!
Star Wars because it spawned Thumb Wars.
“This is Nasty Butler…”
The question is like comparing apples and oranges. Star Trek is science fiction (and it’s some of the best out there, IMHO, because of it’s optimistic view of the future.) Star wars is classic fantasy with a sci-fi flavoring (much of it ripped off from the masters of sci-fi like Frank Herbert et al.) Both have their merits and their flaws. The biggest advantage Star Wars has is the continuity between the books and films. Both have become watered down from what they originally were (especially since Enterprise and the Phantom Menace.)
Death Star, HAH!! Star Trek has the Doomsday Machine, made of pure neutronium which is impervious to your puny Death Star, and can eat planets whole, without leaving a messy debris field for protagonists to fly through.
I hate both, but like Star Wars more, though that’s not saying anything at all.
Nana Visitor, Terry Farrell, Nicole De Boer, Jennifer Lien, Roxann Dawson, Jeri Ryan, Jolene Blalock, and Linda Park vs Carrie Fisher and Natialie Portman? :dubious:
Star Trek, obviously
Tribbles > Ewoks
Klingons > Bounty Hunters, although if the Boba Fett story were fleshed out, he might have an edge.
I concede Wars have an edge with Antilles and Yoda.
But there is no answer to the Doctors (especially the Picardo hologram), Mr. Spock and the Horta, best non-humanoid creature ever imagined.
Scotty, LaForge and Miles would kill to have an R2-D2 prototype.
Who would you rather hang with or just hang, Wesley or Jar Jar? Wesley had the excuse of being literally a deus ex machina; what excuse does Jar Jar have to exist?
Farscape SG1 and B5 are better than ST and SW are nowadays.
I hear-tell there’s going to be a movie.
Oh yeah, but look at how many manager’s signatures it took, and then how many buttons they had to push!
Never the less…Piccard is my man for '04!
Solid, articulate and firm adherence to traditional values.
Doesn’t let kids run the show.
Okay, well… it took about seven highly maneuverable Species 8472 bioships ten seconds to crack a planet open like a walnut.
