Star Wars or Star Trek?

[TheDarkCloud]

Never cared for either

This. Don’t even understand the premise of either one.

I thought they were the same thing. Or connected somehow. They not?

Not at all.

Star Wars because it's the only one I'm familiar with. I agree that is overrated.

i grew up watching the first three star wars movies...

star trek always seemed too hard to get into. too many episodes.

i did try watching the most recent reboot. kinda enjoyed the first 3 episodes, but never kept up with it.

Star trek is for geeks

Star wars is for nikkas of all ages

Both take place in space but their overall themes and stories are different.

Star wars before or after Kathleen Kennedy?


EDIT:
TNG was my shyt back in the day ....I tried deep space 9 for a season or 2 but couldn't hold on. I stopped watching some time after they started exploring the other side of the worm whole. My cousin said it got better sometime shortly after I stopped watching. But it was to slow and they hardly ever went anywhere

Dark matter on syfy was my shyt ...I think they canceled seaeon 4 a couple months back

Waitaminute breh you haven't seen DS9?

My dude... ...

You fukked up.

DS9 is better than TNG, and I LOVE TNG too.

Trek is more cerebral and more of a thinking man's (gender plural) show.

Very philosophical and analytical, usually trying to convey some sort of message for you to think about and ponder on

Star Wars is more of a fantasy adventure type Spielberg-ish thrill ride with sprinkles of philosophy sprinkled in here or there

The biggest difference is.... one could be a Star Trek fan and watch an entire episode/movie without an action scene and be totally satisfied intellectually with what was presented if executed properly.

Star Wars without action scenes are pretty much unacceptable.

I'm a fan of both for different reasons, but as it stands in 2018 with Last Jedi being meh and Solo getting mixed reviews......and Star Trek Discovery's first season being critically acclaimed (along with The Orville, yes I consider that Star Trek, regardless of what it's called) I'd have to say that I'm currently leaning towards Trek at the moment.

That's right just plain simple Garak.

Star Trek is coffee, Star Wars is Mountain Dew

 

[Neuromancer]

Star wars as a kid. Star Trek an adult. DS9 is my show.

I like both, but it's Star Trek. Star Trek isn't afraid to use their entire universe to tell a story (Not these new movies except Beyond which was dope). Star Wars is seemingly terrified to tell stories outside of their main universe and characters. People want new stories and you have a massive universe and refuse to do so which is disappointing. I won't be seeing Solo and the Boba Fett movies because fukk that. Give me some new shyt like Rogue One (Their best movie and also their most different movie)

Star Trek is just better in general in terms of making you think and storytelling. Star Wars is a really cookie cutter turn your brain off action flick. There really is no comparison between the two.

Star Wars back in the day >>> Star Trek back in the day.

Star Trek present day >>> Star Wars present day

Battlestar Galactica >>> Star Wars>>>> Star Trek

Star Gate >>>>>>>>>>BSG.
