Star Wars is infinitely superior. At least no character of that series is living in some pseudo-communist happyland where everything has been made perfect forever, apart from some nasty aliens.

Glad to see you back!

Sorry Ivan,

I would agree that Star Trek at its worst is bad television (I won't comment on the sorry state of filmic media in general). But when it has been good, it has been much better sci-fi than Star Wars, which is not really sci-fi but fantasy, and it is just dreadful. Great wiz bang special effects to be sure, but awful.

Most important, Star Wars is shamelessly ripped off from the 'Dune' books, and other reasonably good stories in a vastly inferior genre.

To be fair, Ivan, Trek did give us the Ferengi, the ultimate capitalists! Long live the Rules of Acquisition!
