Do you prefer Star Wars or star Trek?

Which one? I prefer Star Wars by a long shot but i still love Star Trek. You?

Star Trek for adults, Star Wars for kids.

Star Wars. I never could get into the Star Trek universum.

I'm going to say Star Wars, but I don't know why they always get compared to each other. It's debatable that the Star Wars movies are even sci-fi.

The Force is mystical, magical fantasy. There's nothing science fictiony about it. Of course, they tried introducing a sci-fi take on it in Ep I with the meta-whatevers in the bloodstream... but that explanation was roundly rejected by Star Dorks everywhere.

Star Wars!! Yoda hero he is.

and the magic could be explained with alternate universe.

I mean, they have empaths, and mental transfer and such in Star Trek. That's all absurd. :o

Empaths and mental transfers are very light on the sci- and very heavy on the -fi, but that still makes them sci-fi. The Force has no sci- at all. It's pure -fi.

Well first of all, I think people need to learn what science fiction actually is (not referring to anyone here btw, just speaking generally :P ) Space and technology don't necessarily make something sci-fi. Science Fiction is generally preoccupied with scientific fact or possibilities - which Star Wars isn't. Star Wars is basically fantasy in a space setting. A lot of Star Wars fans consider the movies fantasy movies. I mean the beginiing: "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." is pretty indictaive of a fantasy setting. And, come on, Queens, Knights, Emperors, Lords? Good vs Evil? Replace the lightsabers with swords and you have the basic elements for any fantasy story. It could easily be set in Middle Earth.;) In fact, George Lucas himself said it definitely wasn't sci-fi and has repeatedly called them fantasy films.

Although I'd argue there are elements of both sci-fi and fantasy (plus a wealth of other influences), but like I said - it's debatable.

Empaths and mental transfers are very light on the sci- and very heavy on the -fi, but that still makes them sci-fi. The Force has no sci- at all. It's pure -fi.
