I watched all of it (since I'm 41 and all) but books > those two IP's. I don't read books for either IP but I'd rather just read a real sci fi book over watching either

If I have to have one more convo with fans of either ilk when they find out I'm a huge scifi book reader "have you read the trekkie books?" NOOOO and I never will.

I don't like how cavalier Star Trek is with the conventions of the genre while simultaneously presenting itself as a serious work of sci-fi.

At the very least Star Wars has the decency to just come out and say: "I am a fantasy story set in space and I have no intention of ever being true to reality."

I choose Star Wars. I like Star Trek, but its so perfect that I can't stand it for long. Star Wars is far more nuanced, and I appreciate that more then a perfect utopia.

Oh, and Jar Jar fans get to swim without a life vest. No room in the boat for them.

It's not so much that Trek presents itself as realistic, it's that it takes itself seriously. That is, it tries to be internally consistent, even if it's not perfect at it.

Anyway, is the question which universe would you rather live in, or which fandom would you rather be stuck with? Because replies seem to be responding to both.

And Suvi, the threads you followed led you here to me. How could that have been a mistake?
Of everything I've encountered in Heleus, you, are by far, my favourite.
