I like the story Lucas wanted to tell. Too bad he started telling it back in the corny, lame ass 70's, instead of now.

That is fraudently bull%%%%!Star Trek (24th century) is far wayyy superior technologically than Babylon 5 and Battlestar Galactica.For one,a petty Farengi merchant ship can easily destroy any of those top-notch ships of both of Babylon and Battlestar.

I disagree. He made the original film at the PERFECT time. He has clearly demonstrated that all the computer graphics in the world can't necessarily make a film or character looke realistic.
The great thing about the original trilogy is that it LOOKED real. I believed the Wookie was real. I believed the star destroyers and the x-wing fighters were real. Hell, I even believed Yoda was real.
Jar-Jar Binks? Not so much.
The other thing I really loved about the original trilogy is the way all the futuristic sci-fi stuff looks run down, scummy and old, like Mos Eisley. Just a great vision that was perfectly executed by Lucas.

Keith, youre right about the first movie. The first one is definitely in the top 50 Scifi films of all time. The next two though? Not very good. He lost it there, but he got it back in spades in time for the last three. (IMO)

I get Luke Skywalker, which mean I'm now rather alarmed about who my parents are. I should also probably get DNA samples of future girlfriends as well, just to be on the safe-side
I'm actually pretty fond of both series, and picking one usually depends on how long it's been since I saw them last. I've watched quite a bit of Star Trek, so right now I'm more fond of Star Wars, as I haven't seen them in a while.
Wow...your opinion is the complete opposite of most other Star Wars fans. My favorite in the entire series is the Empire Strikes Back followed by the Return of the Jedi. The only one I put in the same class as the original three is Revenge of the Sith.
Star Wars easily for me. There is supposedly a Star Wars tv show coming eventually...like, in a few years...or a few dozen, who knows, but it is coming
EDIT: That quiz gave me Queen Amidala -_-

Actually, Empire is probably my favorite. But, being as objective as possible, I would admit that Return of the Jedi is not that good. There is no friction among the good guys, which is part of the genius of the first two. In the first two, everybody is at odds with each other. Han thinks Obi Wan is a kook. You have all the sexual tension between Leia and Han. Nobody trusts Lando. Luke ignores Yoda. Etc. But in Jedi, all of that tension is gone. Everybody turns into shiny happy people and it is quite sickening. Plus the Ewoks need to die.
I've never given Star Trek a chance. It was a little bit before my time, whereas Star Wars was a fixture of my childhood. I had the Jedi bed sheets and everything.
I, Jedi really impressed me. Enough so that I went out and found more books by Stackpole. Good writer. Zahn was okay, but by the third book I was ready for it to be over. But I like Zahn, he spins a good tale.

Comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges. Star Trek was a great tv series composed of a lot of 1 off adventures based around certain solid characters that never really developed anymore than they were originally seen.
Star wars was the classic space opera - a long tale of change in which characters grew and developed and had background and meaning.
Both had their pros and both had their cons (Khans...heh, get it?). I dont really think you can argue that one is necessarily better than the other - they are just 'different'.

Jack O'Neil (O'Neal?) is just a reincarnation of Cpt James Tiberius Kirk. No doubt about it. Thats why he is so successful as a character.
Jack = James Kirk
Carter = Spock
Daniel Jackson = Bones McCoy/Scotty combo
Teal'C = Sulu/Chekov combo

Addition o bad fantasy, does not mean it can't be bad sci-fi either. Or then there would be only handfull of sci-fis.
