Star Wars, Why? Because Darth Vader, best villain ever, movies will never touch the original trilogies cinematic run ever.
Star Trek is infinitely more versatile. take Barclay, for example. could you imagine if we got a Barclay style Star Wars character? would be so cool. but no, everyone is super competent, and if anyone new is introduced, they are more competent than the previous folks. it makes things boring. Barclay was so brilliant because he was a normal, self doubting human, dropped in the midst of TNG's hyper competence.
like, i am trying to think of the closest parallel to him in SW and am coming up blank. everyone is either too good at their jobs or so confident that it doesn't matter.
Comet TV. I recently cut the cord on cable (switched to antenna) and found a channel called Comet TV that plays B5 re-runs. They also did a Godzilla marathon over the weekend!babylon 5 is the real answer
I Remember this funny scene but i Remember Is part of the barclay's hologram story (i suppose)heh yeah but Barclay wasn't a full on comedy character. the rest of the crew respected him despite his flaws. with Jar Jar even Qui Gon Jinn grabs his tongue cos he is getting annoying.
Space based Sci fi love ranking by me:
1 Babylon 5
2 Star Trek
3 Battlestar
4 The Expanse
5 Star Wars
6 Farscape
7 Stargate
8 Firefly
9 Red Dwarf
Love them all, glad they all exist.
Star Trek = actual sci fi.
Star Wars = fantasy in space.
The fact people can travel FTL and have laser guns is about all they have in common. I don't really see one as better than the other, just different shit that I like in both cases.
You do realise that both are actual science fiction? Just that one is more grounded in reality. The Matrix is actual science fiction too.
It was Star Wars, and then as I got older it was Star Trek, and now I just want to kill myself.
