Star Wars vs Star Trek - Page 2 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

I think everyone prefers SW, shoulda been a poll in this thread.

But c'mon, the latest SW ep had (to put it politely) bad SFX. You'd have thought they'd do better in this day and age of computer generated animation!

Compare it something like the Matrix, or Stargate (either movie or series) has better FX.

I agree...... The latest SW movie was poor... i thought the first three where better

ya I didn't likke episode 1

Neo · 6th May 2001, 12:17 PM

Lets hope the others get better.... I thought Ewan Mcgregor was a little wooden in the movie as well..

Maria8475 · 6th May 2001, 12:32 PM

I'M SHOCKED!!

admittedly i only ever watched one star wars movies, last year, when there was a huge fuss over it. But i never wanted to go back and watch the rest (I watched Lair Lair instead). Now this is very strange for me because I really like sci-fi. So i concluded that SWs just couldn't be good scifi.

It does look like I'm in the minority though! Oh well!

And Kelsi, just for you I'll change it into a poll (if i can still do that?). Come guys star trek fans....don't let me down!

Maria :star:

Well i have found that with Andromana.... As it was gene rodenburys creation... but i dont particulary like it

Maria8475 · 6th May 2001, 12:38 PM

opps sorry i can't post a poll now....too late! But i do think that SWs would be wining.......at the moment.

imported_Asgard · 6th May 2001, 12:45 PM

I don't like Andromana It boring

Neo · 6th May 2001, 12:49 PM

NO NO NO.... Star Trek MUST win...LOL

I like both Star Wars and Star Trek and I find these Star Trek versus Star Wars arguments boring. I'm glad there is so much SciFi around these days.

However, in the Star Trek universe there is about 600+ hours of television and a 10th movie being made, plus the animated series and books. In Star Wars they are only making the 5th movie. (There are a lot of books as well though.) The Star Trek universe is much more detailed and fleshed out, and it is our future, not a Galaxy Far Far away.

(Ok- that does cause some problems with things like the Eugenic Wars of the 1990's, but wait until Star Wars is 35 years old and see how it holds up)

Neo · 6th May 2001, 01:36 PM

very good dave... good point... Dont get me wrong i like star wars but there are so much more to trek than wars....

Akula · 6th May 2001, 09:59 PM

While we are on the subject, I hate the fact that X-Wings fly through space like they are in an atmosphere, for god's sake, if Vader is coming up from behind you, just turn your ship around, it'll still go forward.

Neo · 7th May 2001, 06:46 AM

MMMm if Vadar was comingup begind me i would be very worried... As whenever he is around people die

kelsi · 7th May 2001, 07:28 AM

LOL!

Star Wars is only popular because it appeals to the mainstream. The reason why Star Wars is more popular is that Star Trek overuses technobabble.
