um you dont have any of your own languages

people are/have actualy learning/learnt
klingonaese (that is the proper spelling check the book 'the final reflection'
Bajoran
vulcan (i think some people have learned some of it)
other people live by a code of honour like the klingons and follow a variation of that religion (obviously no first man killed god otherwise almost the whole world would have been worshiping various dead people)
and also a variation of the bajoran religion is starting to grow somewhere in america.
so we have languages, shuttles, warships, religions, real phasers that actually work (in america being designed to fit onto vans or helicopters to combat terrorists), more species, a lot more room to move around in, time travel, female captains, black captains, russian helmsmen, women in short skirts having a lead role in the 60's
need i continue??

I will attempt to insert a measure of seriousness into this topic, though I'm not as qualified as some other people I know, but anyway:

In terms of an actual war or battle between SW and ST, SW wins. There are many, many sources to back this up, including direct incidents from the films and the tv shows.

In terms of popularity: I think SW wins out on this one too. You go up to someone in the US and say the name "Darth Vader", they WILL know who you are talking about. ST has a similar level of popularity, but not as much as SW. And SW is more liked by the mainstream populace, and less attributed to nerdyness than Trek.

Story quality: Depends on which ST series you're talking about. General consensus amongst most sci-fi fans indicate that the original series was the best, followed by Next Generation and Deep Space 9, then Voyager, then the newest, Enterprise.

For Star Wars: There's the original three and the new ones. Almost all SW fans will say the original ones are better.

Anyway, on whether SW or ST is better, storywise, here's a sort of scale, from worst to best:

Enterprise -> Voyager -> Star Wars prequels -> Deep Space 9 -> Next Generation -> The Original Series, tied with SW the original trilogy.

If there's anything someone would like to bring up, such as a question or an argument, feel free to do so.
