They both have their own merit. As for a marathon viewing. I have run (home theater) Star Wars (about twenty hours) but could not imagine running a Star Trek marathon. As nobody has requested one and I have have several requests to run another Star Wars marathon.
I like them both just as much.
But if I had to pick one it would be Battlester Galactica. The 2000's version, not the 70's version.
@jc2018 If you ever get to see it you'll love it.
It's nothing like the 70's version.
One of the best shows IMHO.
I like them both, leaning more on Star Trek. That said, Does anyone remember Babylon 5?
I'm rewatching B5 right now. ?
Star Wars is ok, but it’s all based on nonsense religion crap
Star Trek is simply more realistic
I like them both, although I do prefer Star Wars.
I've enjoyed the new Star Trek movies though.
I think the casting is pretty damned spectacular.
Chris Pine as Kirk, and Zachary Quinto as Spock, are perfect.
I don't think they could have found a better Bones than Karl Urban, either.
I think JJ Abrams gave the franchise the much-needed shot in the arm.
I choose Star Wars, but my reason is mostly sentimental in nature. My very first real date was to the opening night of the original Star Wars. Living in a small town in the 70's, we had to drive 30 miles to the movie theater. Wow. Just wow. (The movie, not the date. We never went out again.)
Star Wars, I think, has more action. Star Trek has neater exploration and sciency stuff.
Star Trek is much easier to nerd out on!
Sorry. I forgot the put the why I think Star Wars is better. Got distracted. Anyway
Luke Skywalker alone could be the reason SW is better. He is trying to save basically... all of existance from a corrupt government. Kirk is on a government mission to see what’s out there.
That being said, Im also a Star Trek fan, I just think SW is better.
Star Trek for the way it addressed the social issues of the day and helped move us forward as an ever so slightly more enlightened species. A mixed race crew, the first interracial black and white kiss. Gene Ridenburry made sure mankind’s best hopes for the future where represented and worth all the madness in the streets. But Yoda also had his moments
I enjoy Star Wars but I’m a serious Star Trek lover. I’ve watched all of the series from start to finish over several times.
No! I am not going to choose and you can't make me!
I think the question should be qualified as pre/post TLJ. After that cluster fuk of a movie, Star Trek it is...although some of the Trek TV shows were pretty bad. I think Sci-Fiction is cool, but I've always leaned more to Sci-Fantasy.
BTW...why isn't Buck Rogers in the mix. Is it b/c Twiki is about as popular as Jar Jar?!?
Love them both equally! Can't pick a favorite, luck has it that I can have both!!!
