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 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!
Love them both equally! Can't pick a favorite, luck has it that I can have both!!!
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?!?
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.
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.)
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.
