Star Wars vs Star Trek - the ultimate nerd battle

[grumbler]

... I will continue to cite wikipedia.

And i will continue to mock you when you do act like a primary-schooler.

When I realized that grumbler's source is his ass it saved me a lot of reading.

I suppose that it isn't a TBR violation when it is you who reveals that you are my source.

We've discussed nearly every geeky topic under the sun, but I don't think we've ever done this one (plus I've been brushing up on my Star Trek geekdom with the new MMO coming out).

Now I know Dr. Who has it's fans, Battlestar Galactica was nifty, Buck Rodgers has golden age cool, and Babylon 5 has grumbler.  But we all know that in the end there are two towering behemoths of science fiction-dom.

So which is your favourite: Star Wars or Star Trek?

Luke Skywalker, or Captain Kirk?

The Millenium Falcon, or the Enterprise?

Yeoman Rand in a 60s miniskirt, or Princess Leia in a gold bikini?

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!, or KHHHHAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!!!

Star Wars has the best expanded universe.  Nearly everything is cannon in it, and I quite like that.
Reading a Star Trek book will left you meh.
But even the bad Star Wars book has some merit on their own

I am a source of joy.

SW also has the best video games.

FASA's Starship simulator.

SFB just took too long, with too many rules.

That being said, WEG did do a x-wing / tie-fighter board game that was also pretty cool.

SFB went to hell when they added the kitchen sink to the games. ECM? FUCK THAT SHIT.

I have not read any of the replies but wish to be on record as saying that anyone who picked star wars as a series over star trek as a series is a FUCKTARD and likely the inbred progeny of first cousins or full blooded siblings.

While star wars a new hope and the empire strikes back are masterpieces and were groundbreaking in their day, we can never forgive lucas for star wars 1 or 2 or jar jar binks or the ewoks.

NEVER FORGET

NEVER FORGET
