I’ve recently been watching Star Trek discovery and it brought back memories of the good old debate as to whether Star Trek or Star Wars is better - time for a good old poll

Have to admit that I can’t say I’d want to watch the original series anymore as it’s aged too much but the Discovery series really has me gripped.
I’ve been a Star Wars fan most of my life (until Disney got involved and disregarded all the post Return of the Jedi timeline set out in the books). Disney did do a good job of the ‘Star Wars Stories’ though (Han Solo, Rogue One). As far as Star Trek goes, I really enjoyed the reboot movies - thought they were really well done.
I love both, i am the right age to have grown up on them! Star Trek about 6pm on BBC2 Monday nights around 1969. Star Wars i saw upon release at the cinema. Can you imagine how mind blowing it was to see that seemingly endless Star Destroyer looming into view, and the FX after growing up on the cheap FX of Doctor Who? So currently loving both Discovery and The Mandalorian!
I’ve been a hardcore Trekkie since I was little. Even asked my parents to take me to the Star Trek convention in Las Vegas for my highschool graduation present. I was a weird kid.
Doesn’t mean you can’t love both! I never understood the debate if I’m honest. They are completely different worlds, true, but ultimately so hopeful.
Voted Star Wars, have just started doing the whole lot from Ep1 forward (including Rogue 1 after Ep3).
I think original star wars is far superior to the original star trek movies, BUT, the reboot of the Star Trek movies is far superior to pretty much all of the Star Wars movies made after Return of the Jedi (Rogue one being the exception).
