| Re: Star Wars vs Star Trek
To me the question is about which universe is more plausible, and also more immersive. The situations in the star wars universe have much more interesting and believeable characters since they range from the high-born to the street urchin (Leia + Han), and the interactions between them. It has a lot to do with what ordinary people do in a galaxy changing situation.
I just can't indentify with the Star Trek characters at all. Their problems are usually about ambassadors, first contact with other races, and simple solutions to complex made up technology.
Now the books, I like both (star wars make better stories). The films, I like both (The original star wars trilogy is the best of all). But most of star trek is in episodes, and I consider them only mild entertainment.
As for who's ship will kill who: Star trek has more advanced technology, they would win. Does it make the star trek universe better? no. |
