That ago old question; Star Wars or
Star Trek, which is better.
Ok, maybe it’s not that old of a question, however it seems to be quite a popular one and I find it quite fascinating how many people really get into.
So I’m not a huge fan girl of either of these franchises, but I have watched all six episodes of Star Wars and watched some episodes and the two new movies of Star Trek that recently came out, and I think they both have their Ups and downs.
However, to me it seems kind of odd why there is even a debate, I mean Star Wars and Star Trek are both completely fictional universes whose technology and scientific foundations are both pretty flawed, and at best an afterthought to add on to the setting and/or plot line. To me this entire debate is as meaningfully as debate about which mythical beast is better, a Unicorn or a Dragon.
Which is better?? Star Wars or Star
Trek??
I would like to hear what others think on the topic and if anyone thinks one is better than the other, could you give me a reason why?
They are both amazing! I have seen every episode of the Original Series with Star Trek along with most of the episodes of the Next Generation. I have also seen every Star Wars movie. The reason why there are two quarreling fan bases is the fact that the main story lines are incredibly different. While Star Trek focuses on bettering humanity and finding new knowledge, Star Wars never really mentions the human race and instead focuses on how to properly run a government in a futuristic society where aliens of different species coexist. There, of course, are opposing sides in each story (the Romulans vs. the humans in Star Trek, the Jedi vs. the Sith in Star Wars). All in all, the main struggle comes down to which has the better story and characters. Both franchises are unique and both are very good too. If anyone has anything to add to this comment, please do so. Thanks!
