Defining the Sides: Star Trek Vs. Star Wars
Star Trek Vs. Star Wars
Science Fiction fans can generally be classified into two camps - 'Star Wars' and 'Star Trek'.
'Trekkies' are often fans of using great restraint when possible and overwhelming in nature. Most of the aliens they meet look vaguely like humans* who had a bad experience with a wax factory.
Fans of Star Wars are gluttons for sci-fi punishment. They either love being the all-powerful evil being or the scrappy underdog. Trekkies are rarely underdogs. Star Wars aliens seem to have either scales or fur and are also roughly humanoid in nature*.
*Roughly human shapes for aliens are necessary or else conventions would be very boring.
Action Figures - Good for Star Trek? or Creepy old Men?
Choose your Side! Star Trek or Star Wars

Check out this list I made:1: the empire has the death star, but the cardassians made the star imploder, which is, obviously capable of destroying entire star systems.
2: look, i dont care how big a star wars fleet is, if you've ever seen any part of the dominion war, its a no brainer.
3: its obvious that hyperdrive goes at light speed. In star trek, thats warp 1. now, most star trek ships can go about warp 9.2 to 9.7, tops. that is at least 1649 times faster than the millenium falcon, supposedly really fast in star wars.
4: species 8472. if you haven't seen the voyager episode "scorpion", watch it, and you'll see what power they have over any star wars ship.
5: do you really think that 1 man fighters stand any chance against a ship like enterprise? or any star trek ship? that makes most star wars ships USELESS in combat.
6: this last one is better than anything, it makes the whole battle trivial and predecided. 2 words... The Q! one snap of their fingers, one little thought and BOOM! all the star wars ships are gone, vanished, erased from existance. not even the precious force wouldn't stand a chance against the mighty power of the Q! I'm still working on the rest AND YES THERE'S A LOT MORE! trek on, fellow geeks!

The movies released in the past few years tells the tale of the tape. Star Trek blows Star Wars out of the water in balancing engaging characters, humor, visual/digital effects, and action. Recent Star Wars gluts on effects and action and has no strong story to hold it all together.

If you must judge a show/movie by its fans...all you need to do is look at all these comments. The Star Trek comments are refined, cultured, mostly in good taste. The Star Wars comments contain profanities, shallow, or just plain one liners. I rest my case!
Posted June 17, 2009
Assunta says:
Star Wars is more of an action-adventure thing set in space. While Star Trek is truly sci-fi. Star Trek actually gets your neurons firing and working hard because of the complicated issues they often explore on the show. Star Wars is mostly just for fun, a wild ride, but offers little intellectual stimulus.
Overall, I have to choose Star Trek. It can also offer a fun show, with a wild ride, and still have intellectual stimulus. Sometimes you will be thinking for days about one issue or other they explored on the show.

Star Trek, no question. Star Wars doesn't qualify as science-fiction because there is no SCIENCE involved. Whereas star trek does. So it's really down to whether you want Fantasy or Sci-Fi.

I definetly like Star Wars, nothing wrong with it. But more for just a good night with popcorn and coke, when I feel like watching any cool action movie. Star Trek runs so much deeper; there's far more technology in it, more science, more character-development, (and therefore better real-life characters, no cliché's) more emotions and more psychology.
For every alien shown has a reference, a background. Aliens are not just put around because they look cool, like "hey, we have a bar-scéne here... let's put some fluffy creatures here for background decoration". And the amount of fluffy aliens in Star Wars is way too much! I get so much a Jim Henson-allergie when I watch too much Star Wars at once... especially episode VI, Return of the Jedi... the last 45 minutes, skip, please, skip! On the other hand, I absolutely love Yoda, especially in the original episodes. He's cool, funny, charismatic, adorable and wise. But that Han Solo, throw him out of the first air lock, I've never seen a more arrogant, irritating, self-loving macho, iiiiiiehw. (Yes, I'm a girl. And if I we're prinses Leia I would've slapped him in the face)
So... Star Wars is more for the action, the fighting, the cool-looking characters (love Vaders cape), the cute fluffy aliens and isolated, hot burning or freezing cold planets.
Star Trek is more for the science, technology, good storylines, emotions, exotic beautiful paradise-like planets (count me in for a trip to Risa) and, well, let's face it... better equiped starships. Laserbeams vs Photon Torpedo's... need I say more?

Star Trek, for sure. It just seems more possible. Sure the aliens are a little unimaginative in that they are based on human shapes, but they were kind of limited back in the day, and rather than tech-ing it up like Star Wars did and alienating fans, they stuck with a formula that works.
Star Wars is a fantasy, complete with princess that needs rescuing. Its a romantic fairy tale set in space.

I think that Star Wars is more like a fantasy. A Fairy Tale. I know that there are certain episodes and certain movies of Star Trek that aren't as good as others, but overall Star Trek is better. It is also very educational. I learned more on Star Trek then I did at School. Star Trek tries to sneak in as much education as possible especially with Beverly, Picard, Seven, and Data. And now that I mention Data...I strongly dislike the decision to kill off Data.

difficult comparing a franchise mainly consisting of tv-shows with another franchise mainly consisting of 6 movies.
There is very bad star trek but there are imho at least 3 very good films and at least one very good tv show (DS9) plus a couple of excellent episodes. When it comes to Star Wars I like one film (empire strikes back), at least two films are ridiculous and the rest is 'mas o menos'.

Star Trek is the thinking man's Star Wars. Star Wars is more about drama/action/drawing-in-mass-audience. Star Trek has always been perceived as a nerdy vice due to it's intellectual nature. It's a thinking man's franchise. Star Wars is more like the football fan's franchise. For the low-IQ wannabe-nerdy types.

xriotdotbiz says:
Star Wars is very important to me, but Star Trek has had a vision for much longer and been able to do more with its "universe". Star Wars revolves around a single character - Anakin/Vader. Although Star Trek started with Captain Kirk, it has spread beyond the classic Trek and opened whole other possibilities. If nothing else, it spawned Klingon the fastest growing language. Can Star Wars touch that?

Although I very much like Star Wars, I choose Star Trek for the sheer volume of video material... it's an almost endless source of inspiration and entertainmen. Still, I like the fantasy and epic story of Star Wars; frankly I think when it comes to the characters, Star Wars is a bit more believable because with Star Trek, all the bad guys are pretty damn one dimensional. But 6 movies just isn't enough. I want more!!!!!!!

Janeway says:
http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/ is all stupidity. The facts are right towards the canon, but most of the Star Wars canon is impossible. Besides even going by that fact, all the star trek people have to do is beam the command crew off the bridge of an enemy ship, drop a few borg aboard, and that's it for that ship. Star wars would fail completely. So in an actual war, Star Wars might have the numbers and the power (so they say) but Star Trek has the brain. Besides, in that website's theoretical situation, a Wormhole has opened. The Federation know very well how to close a wormhole, and with that, problem solved.
Star Trek is for the mind, Star Wars is for the mindless.

regaurdless of JJ Abrams "soon to fail" Star Trek Movie in the worls, i stick by Trek and have for years.
i am a Star Trek Legacy modder, Star Trek Bridge Commander modder, and all around Computer Geek who just loves the Star Trek Franchise.
now, in Bridge Commander, there are some Star Wars ships that i have downloaded, and to answer any questions, the Star Wars ships are stronger to a certain point. the Impyreal Star Destroyer can easily destroy a Galaxy class starship within a few minutes. but the new Century class can and will hold its own in battle against a Star Destroyer. but any other Federation, Klingon, Romulan, even the Dominion ships from the 24th century and earlier, can easily be defeated.
but, a Battlestar type ship can easily dominate ANY sci fi Genre ship. why that is, i dont know.

from a teck standpoint. weapons, star wars.
tactics, starfleet
the empire would give starfleet a very bloody nose at first.
but starfleet. never discount section 31, who produced the defiant in a very short year. would overcome the gap. also if you read the books the writers in my opinion have been dealing with this issue.
character wise. well lets talk q. or data. or any of the captains,kirk or janeway. while star wars characters are cool. they are predictable, except for the irrepressable han solo. im looking for unique. not just a bunch of regular archtypes.
in a confrontation well, the empire has superior firepower [with the exception of transphasic torpedoes]. but the federation has experience in dealing with technologically superior opponents. so it would buy the
m enough time to get they latest class of ship into the fray.
the nova class
zero point energy for power
quantum slipstream for propusion
upgraded shield tech
sheild disruption tech [from the breen]
the list goes on and on.

The ONLY Flaw in STAR WARS is that there are no INtelligent ENERGY BEINGS!!! And dont u dare to count those Jedi ghosts into this!
Star trek has Energy beings, but There are TOO FEW EXOTIC species overall. THere are too many HUmanoid species( AS Star trek couldnt easily think out of the box)
STar trek Everyday technology(replicators, Holodecks, teleporting) could Change STar wars universe into a more peaceful position. only few Star wars techs would help Star trek like Droids. Droids have unique feel. Like DATA but they are more DIVERSE. That would Shake up things. I Realy hope that there Would be a DRoid planet in Delta Quantrant.
Buti if i would still choose my favourite it would be still STAR WARS. Tech Changes slowly there, BUT The IDEAS, MAGIC AND ADVENTURE NEVER WOULD change at all. ITs this fact gives Road to fantasy!!!

Thoon says:
I prefer the story and technology of Star Wars more than Star Trek. I honestly could never get into ST as a kid because of how boring it was. Yes, at first that seems to support the "SW is all bells and whistles, ST has all the meat" argument, but that's not correct as what drew me into SW was the story. There was really peril for the heroes, and a good sense of morals. They were fighting oppression and annihilation, not just skipping about the galaxy and constantly running into trouble (which is how I saw Trek as a kid).
That said, I can appreciate both franchises, and I don't get upset when someone says Trek is better than Wars. It's all opinion, nothing more. What matters is that we all have a Star, be it Wars or Trek, that brings us entertainment and a good set of lessons.

Star Wars. Star Trek is to boring with the exception of the movie. The Star Wars novels, comics, games, movies, and both the animated series were much better in every possible way then Star Trek. Star Trek is unoriginal unlike Star Wars were they mix it up with the story line (or story lines if you've played one or both of the KOTOR games) and with their aliens. Plus, it's more in depth with the technology, character bios, fighting styles, actual fights, and just everything ion general. It's as if whoever make Star Trek did it in a half hour as if it wasn't half-assed enough

The whole argument is star trek is a society that is working for the greater good of civilizations and is about exploration of the galaxy , while star wars is about the struggle of balance of power that comes from one infinite source. the whole view of star wars is about the balance of power and that shift really for one man "anakin Skywalker" its his story. While star trek is about the federation and more about the enterprise. Neither one is better or worse but i will say this if you put a hudred borg in with one jedi they wouldn't last i mean come on people the borg couldn't last against a regular human being let alone a jedi? oh by the way you should watch fan boys. by the way im a fan of both!

the "science" in star trek is utter bollocks, completely made up to give the pseudonerds a hard on. Star wars is loved by far more because it doesn't even attempt to pretend to know how all this futuristic stuff works; so no, it isn't sci-fi and is better for it.

Quite simple, Star Wars defined a Generation and is still considered a staple series of movies for all ages. Star Trek is a Niche; a good Niche but still a Niche. And don't forget, Star Wars popularity came without having to have a weekly TV show to help prop it up like Star Trek did.

Grax says:
Because it provides a much more compelling drama and myth cycle than Star Trek. Star Trek's vision of a galaxy filled with creatures that look exactly like humans with various and sundry facial ridges was always a bit off-putting to me. Don't get me wrong, I like Star Trek but Star Wars just has all the right ingredients for a compelling space opera. Even the "mystical force" is a plus for me, though it puts Star Wars much more into the realm of Science Fantasy than hard Science Fiction. I mean.. who doesn't want to be a Jedi!
For those that tear down SW's for it's lack of "science" I beg them to look into more of the literature, Star Wars has some basis in potential technologies of the future just as Star Trek with it's Treknology.
In the end, the original trilogy and expanded universe novels kept my young mind churning with fantastic lightsaber duels and daring space battles in a way that Captain Jean-luc Picard never did.
p.s. All respect to Captain Jean-luc Picard though, he's a damn cool dude!

Barnaby Jones! says:
I'm going to choose Star Wars but only because of the original trilogy. Those three movies gave me so much fun. I must have watched them dozens of times when I was a kid. Enough to wear out two sets of VHS, anyway. The prequels were garbage, IMO. Even ROTS. They were all boring and had some of the stiffest and underwhelming acting I have ever had the displeasure of watching.
With that said, I still love Star Trek as well. I'm not going to get into that silly stuff like, "Jedi's haev teh force so they would beat star track!1" because it's beyond inane. Just as pure entertainment I'd say they're both amazing. The SW OT just nudges ahead by a small margin, for me. But if the Trek franchise continues the way it has with the new Abrams film, that might change in the future. That movie was full of epic win.

this is like comparing a squad of soldiers to an entire army. you trekkies don't realize the vastness of star wars, hundreds of millions of planets, trillions of inhabitants, superior technology, superior warriors, the force, and more than you can ever comprehend make star wars so much better.
Posted May 11, 2009
duko3000 says:
Trekkie technology is way more outdated than Star Wars, for example, to destroy a planet , the death star needs minimal preparation, while the Klingons need to lower down an anchor, and go through a lengthy process which can easily be stopped at any time. Plus Jedi can use the force, while Kirk and others can only use basic instinct, and "time travel", which seems kind of unnecessary.

Star Wars. There are probably a whole lot more games based on the Star Wars movies than there are based on the TV series and movies from Star Trek. Also the Lego franchise has lots of Star Wars based sets [I haven't yet seen a Star Trek based set from Lego in the toy stores/toy depts of major department stores like Kmart, Target, etc.] I also haven't seen anything like "Lego Star Wars - The Complete Saga" based on Star Trek.

Star Wars.... Jedi Aside its not all happy fluffy good guy wins BS.. its more realistic and believable... But I like Star Trek too... seriously though If I could choose a galaxy it would be Star Wars... another alternate to a sci-fi future some or all of you may not know about is something called battletech... think of robots so big that a human could control them from inside the robots head... then throw on some lasers, missiles and balistic/gun that would make a .50 cal look like a squirt gun. look it up if your interested it was a board and a video game spawned from an entire series of books..

Ahem Data...
Do you really think that a NCC 1701 A could survive something like that? Nah... it rather be vaporized by the death star.
Thhe Xindi weapons testing showed that that beam was only an fraction of a true planet destroyer´s power. So if Xindi Planet destroyer is put against a Ncc 1701 A ship then the xindi would win hands down. Both Death star and Xindi superweapon are BATTLESTATIONS NOT Space cruisers!!!! And if Xindi superweapon would be against Death Star,then Xindi would be dead, as THE DEATH STAR has much more Fire power both in main laser as well in secondary weapons.
PLUS Death Star can house hundreds of starfighters,bombers and several frigates or battleships. Only an Q(omnipontent being) would be able to turn the death star into sishkebab :D.

Sanjin says:
Star Wars is the epic story of betrayal among super-powerful warriors, set in a firmly-established universe with very diverse aliens. Star Trek is a pop TV show that features plot lines focused on making humans feel good about what we might become someday. Star Wars has lightsabers and lasers. Star Trek has phasers and energy whips. Star Wars has force-weilding Jedi, Star Trek has deranged Klingon (exception of Warf. He is one of Star Trek's few redeeming factors in this debate).
Now, I like them both. I do, however, admire more a world where one can stop lasers with a stick of light, and be a total BA with the fighting. Star Trek fights are... bad, even for TV.
(I am, however, watching TNG back-to-back now... because I like Science Fiction. This was written in the spirit of debate, as well. Peace out, Trekkies and Jedi-wannabees :P)

Anders says:
understanding the equipment involved is the key, dose star trek have anything that can blow up a planet? do they have anything that can destroy a whole solar system? No they do not. While Star Wars can answer yes to both questions. while we all know of the death star I suggest those that do not know Google something called the Sun Crusher. I find it highly amusing how serious people take this subject. when the truth is THEY ARE BOTH WORKS OF FICTION. IT ISN'T REAL. get out of your parents basement get some contacts and go find your self a real woman & give your hand the night off.
