Star Wars is a comic book.

Like both of them, but was always a Doctor Who fan myself.

When it came to space opera's I always found Blake's 7 and Lexx more interesting story wise than either of the above

Loved Rodenberry, Nimoy, Shatner incarnation but Next Generation went a bit off message for me.Not saying that it wasn't excellent in itself but not for me. Star Wars has a consistency which is why I just give it the nod, albeit steeped in religio-mystic reference. Not that is a bad thing, but it could be Lord Of The Rings, or at a stretch even The Wizard of Oz transplanted inter-galactically The Star Wars side storylines that are coming through I suspect are to cash in rather than give depth to the plot stream. Hmmm. Looks like I have argued myself into Original cast Star Trek!

I think most true fans of Star Trek think in terms of classic Trek and Next Gen. The core of Star Trek has wained with the various incarnations. Especially with the re-boot movies. I'm less of a fan of "New Trek".

Star Trek is Sci-Fi, Star Wars is not. Star Wars is a Fantasy Adventure based in Space. The robots and aliens could be substituted for Elves, Dragons, Fairies, etc.... and you could have the same exact story. Their Light and Dark side of the Force religion is complete BS. Most of it revolves around black and white portrayals of hero/villain. Redemption is about the only theme they are unique in. Here and there, is some reasonable philosophy, but for the most part, it's all pseudo religion gibberish.
Gene Roddenberry was a Humanist and Atheist. They lean more to Hard Sci-Fi and more realistic portrayals of human conflict. Their stories took on real questions of morality. Star Trek is more cerebral and less dependent on action/fights to drive the story, as compared to Star Wars.

It's no wonder Atheists / Agnostics / Humanists prefer Star Trek over the Religious based Star Wars.

First season of Star Trek on TV, but after that, no. I spent the first Star Wars checking my watch to see when it would be over. Neither, thank you very much.

Star Trek gave me a reason to live beyond my childhood and gave me hope that someone, somewhere would like and accept me.

I like the Star Trek shows because of Roddenberry’s humanistic philosophy. I grew up with the original show, loved and followed The Next Generation and Deep Space 9 and Voyager. I think it started veering away with Enterprise, and the last movies took it to an unrecognizable level.

The popularity of Star Wars among adults is a mystery to me. Good guys, bad guys in space. Ho hum. I probably would have liked it if I was 12 when first one was released.
Stark Trek TV show and movies are more sophisticated in my opinion. The TV show opened the way for minorities and featured the first interracial kiss. I found Star Trek to be more creative in humor with themes that illustrated important human values and problems . Not all the ST movies were good but the TV show was groundbreaking.

Doctor Who cause nothing beats a TARDIS

I was influenced by the orginal and still refer to it!

Star Trek, because there is alot more content to enjoy. Not to mention only half of the star wars movies are any good imo.
