With exception of the scifi label and being well known they are not even comparable.

Wait until you hear about stargate.

I think it's a dumb debate personally.

I love my space exploration show. I also love my space wizard drama, and my space politics show, and my wibbly wobbly spacey wacey show. I just like goofy shows in space.

Except Picard. I don't care for Picard.

Eh, they both have their place. I can't get behind Jedi being emotionally stunted or the federation not using it's tech to the fullest.

My one exception is pre-Disney Mandolorians. Nothing is sexier than freefalling from orbit on the back of a 6 legged robot dragon with nothing but your platemail and a vague goal of scaring the shit out of locals.

Star Trek is one of if not the most prominent Science Fiction series in our culture.

Star Wars is one of if not the most prominent "Science" based Fantasy series in our culture.

They really aren't at all similar on the most fundamental level. They just use similar set dressing.

Post TNG and Voyager, they've been fairly blah with a handful of decent standout episodes.

Maybe it's because I grew up with these shows, and now I'm old I just want something with a bit more heft.

It's just all seems like light entertainment these days. Something akin to The Expanse is what I'm after.

The only real comparison I can draw between the two is both have disappointed me by moving away from their established brands and disappointing me.

What happens when a stormtrooper shoots at an unnamed redshirt?

Idk, Star Wars and Star Trek only share the sense that they’re both in space, overall both very different and we like both. Personally we like Star Wars more because autism brain but yeah start trek is good too :3

Hot take: Babylon 5 is right at the top there with Star Trek.

I'm not so sure. If we're counting everything that carries the Star Trek logo as a whole, then currently Star Trek is incredibly shit.

Depends on which star trek and which star wars

If you want to compare current stuff, then both are trash. sequel trilogy at least had the decency of being entertaining garbage while disco was 10% plot and 90% people talking about the 10% in case you missed anything while looking at tiktok.

original trilogy and next generation are both good shit, and are good for different reasons.

Back in the day, episode 2 made me realize I didn't like Star Wars that much, I just really loved Empire.

I prefer the shitpost genre. We live in the Bronze Age of shitposting, can't wait for what comes next.

I feel like doctor who is more of a comparison to Star Trek no.
