Love them both equally! Can't pick a favorite, luck has it that I can have both!!!
Star Trek showed what humanity can be like if we all worked together for the common good.
I like both but I prefer Star Wars. However the Marvel universe movies are my favourites by far.
If you are talking about the original Star Trek it was absurd but the actors played those roles and said those ridiculous lines in those cheesy sets in such a way that all are still beloved today.
On edit -
Star Wars came out when I was around 12. It was perfect at that point. All of the first trilogy released was a bit of modern myth.
The other tales are not nearly as captivating IMHO.
Where's the They're both awesome! Answer -__-
I like the fact that Star Wars is an entirely new galaxy far away and long ago. Many of the best stories have a robust backdrop that is a character all in itself. Plus, the force and light sabers!
I love Star Trek because of the philosophical and sociopolitical aspects of the show. The moral quandaries they commonly find themselves in and how they get out of them are always interesting to see. Basically, every series of ST has plenty of moments that always leaves me thinking.
The humanity and morality of Trek, as others have noted. Wars, just millions of deaths each installment, death is taken so lightly, be they storm troopers or just everyone on a planet and now an entire solar system. Just so much trivialization of the one life everyone has. I can see how it adds to the younger generation taking life so lightly.
