Being an avid Trekkie and Lucas Fan, I’m always confronted by this question by my friends and at parties as to which is better? My reply is always the same. ”I will always stay true to Star Wars but Star Trek has better ships!” Not to diss on the Millineum Falcon, but it is true. Then the New Star Wars films came out and to me, those ships, supposed to be pre-dated compared to episode 4,5,6, looked way to aerodynamic and better than the originals.

My friend Pat and I constantly go over Star Wars saga talk because it’s the easiest subject to talk about at parties. Besides sex.  And the question of which is better always comes up. My friend Pat thinks Star Trek is okay but loves the Lucas Series.  I have other friends who think Star Trek is the “dabomb” and rocks over the Star Wars saga.  So again the questions stirs which is better?  

I have been a loyal Star Wars fan since it came out in 1977.  In the early 1980’s  Hasbro came out with the action figures and every x-mas and birthday up to the time I was in high school, my parents helped me collect an ample supply of Star Wars merchandise.  Star Trek didn’t become a favorite of mine until after Star Trek 4, the Voyage Home.  You know, the one with the whales.  Then I started collecting the models and the movies. I would watch The Motion Picture on television when it came on but the Wrath of Kahn became an instant classic to me and my buddy Isaac, which to me is by far the best Star Trek movie yet. 

In 1987, Star Trek the Next Generation came out and changed Trekkies forever creating a new breed of Trekkie. And why not, the cast was superiorily better than the original crew and were enjoyable to watch. Yet, in a fist fight, Kirk would kick the crap out of Picard hands down.
