I've always liked the sense of adventure that you get in Star Wars but not as much in Trek. Things feel a little stiff in Star Trek. Maybe it's the uniforms. Both are good though.
If I were human, my response would be "go to hell."

If I were human.





I hear you as to the "sense of adventure." Sci-fi adventure is often quite different from fantasy adventure, and Star Wars is more fantasy than it is sci-fi. That is not an indictment, just a fact. It's the primary reason why there's really no sense in comparing the two (I mean it doesn't actually get us anywhere, though, I confess, it is fun). Star Wars is better escapism than Star Trek because its adventure isn't based on Reason, but on emotion, on luck, on love, on vengeance, etc., and this makes it appeal to the parts of us traditionally more closely associated with pleasure.

What's so wrong with "stiff," though?
I'd rather be Star Trek "stiff" than Star Wars "limp" any day.
don't yell at me it's your fault if you click this I'm just being sillyEverybody needs a little stiffy every once in a while.
