Both.
But if I had to choose, it would be STAR TREK by far. Ignoring the putrid JJ Abrams film, I would say the franchise has been somewhat consistant.
SW Episodes I-II-III killed it for me, in many ways.

I completely agree. Star Trek TNG is highly superior.
And I never was into Battlestar Galactica but I just started watching it recently.
And DS9 is superior to TNG, it refined and expanded the trek formula to the point of perfection. Ive only seen the Q episode out of DS9. I had heard that that series wast that good. Maybe I should watch it...Star Trek. I've seen about 90% of the VOY & TNG series. As well as about 50% of DS9 and ENT. All the movies as well. I remember back in HS I read through both editions of the encyclopedia and I frequently visit the Memory Alpha website to look stuff up for kicks.
Nothing agianst Star Wars I rlly like that too. I just never got into it as much as the Trek. I find SW a little too much fantasy with the Force powers and light saber battles. It's a little too much like magic hocus pocus stuff for me. The Trek seems, more realistic? I guess that's why I have always liked it more.
Star Trek by a mile. Never really got into Star Wars all that much. Sure, I liked it when I was a child, but it doesn't hold up at all when viewed objectively at an older age. That, and the new movies were so bad they kind of tainted the older series for me. Trek, on the other hand, never gets old for me. Even Voyager and Enterprise (to a much lesser degree) had their strong points.

looks like Star Wars is winning big time.jediknight52501Star Wars definitely has broader appeal and there's a lot of cultural bias against Star Trek so I'm not surprised. But reading through the actual posts I find those in favor of Star Trek to be more informed and subsequently more convincing. Of course I'm not saying that there are some good arguments for Star Wars - the books and videogames seem to be better (I wouldn't know first hand but this certainly looks to be the case) and The Empire Strikes Back is probably better than any single Star Trek film.
i like science fiction a bit more than fantasy so i have to go with star trek.
tbo ST vs. SW is a terrible comparison.
they are not even remotely in the same category.
That's a tough one. I couldn't decide. I like the Trek series and (some)movies and I like the Star Wars movies and universe.
I like Star Trek better although I prefer the interconnected universe and timeline of ST: TNG-DS9-Voyager. I like consistency such as when Starfleet changed uniform styles in First Contact. DS9 followed and then Voyager once they reestablished contact with the Federation.
Star Trek. Plinkett ruined the entirety of Star Wars for me (except the unadulterated original trilogy, that is still a science-fiction masterpiece; shame it is almost completely unavailable anywhere... and oh my did Han shoot first... hell, Greedo didn't even GET to shoot, lol).
Though, Plinkett did ruin the Generations-on movies for me as well... I can still appreciate TOS, TNG and VOY and I to VI for what they are.
Star Wars is winning the poll but Star Trek is winning the post war.jediknight52501That's because a lot of people have only seen the Star Wars films and choose that by default. People who have actually enjoyed the wondefulness that is the Star Trek tv shows are more determined to express our opinion because its actually based on something and we've seen Star Wars too. Its not just a case of "I've never really watched Star Trek so I guess I'll pick Star Wars".
