Hey tank,
So I grew up a huge starwars fan, seen each movie over 100 times maybe more, had the toys and always consider starwars a huge part of my child hood. I remember seeing startrek 2 and thinking it was kinda cool in fact that was my view of the whole franchise, "kinda ok" I was thining about when I went to see star trek the JJ abrams version (09) and thinking this is enemy camp i am a Jedi not a trekie! and being sick about how good that movie was and how not so good the starwars prequals were. I have yet to see into darkness but I really wanna see it. I was never much into the next generation at all. Anyway the other day at walmart I found my self really thinking about buy the dvd set of the all the startrek films from the motion picture to the next gen ones. I couldnt believe I was considering this cause its always starwars fans (who are cool geeks) vs the trekies! if you saw the film fan boys you know what I am talking about and thats basically how i view it. But Now I may be having a change of heart, so can a Loyal Jedi like myself also like the trek without being guilty of commiting treason! Are there fans that like both? and Have I missed something by not watching the startrek films in general? what are your thoughts?

I love them both. they have great stories. I was a huge star wars kid but I'm sure if kenner had been making Trek figures I would have been buying those also. I really think it's ridiculous to dislike something JUST because you like thing else that is similar.

I like Star Wars and I like Star Trek.
Think it's stupid that some people think can only like one and not both.

Answer: Yes.
Bonus: You can even like Battlestar Galactica for the trifecta. |

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
Where are your loyalties? Don't you know that if you like more than one space franchise at one time, the Tower will fall and all will be discordia? *sigh!*

You can like both but there is always one you like better.
I love Star Wars. I strongly like Star Trek the Original Series (All other Trek incarnations are not intersting to me). I like Battlestar Galactica (new version). When looking at Star Wars versus Star Trek, your talking about Space Fantasy versus Science Fiction. Mythology versus scientific exploration. Utopian versus totalitarian. It's all a matter of what speaks to you as a person. The characters and themes in Star Wars struck a chord in me more so than any other science fiction film or series. Lightsabers, aliens, fantastic ship designs, awesome blasters, a villian to truely fear. The designs were new yet familiar, thanks to the production team using very recognizable parts and materials. |

I'd love to like the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but somehow I'd feel like I was betraying Discworld.
