No.
we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression. We need new noise and new voices and new canvases to become something more than the last poets of a useless generation.

Star Wars for the classic Movies and EU, Star Trek for the shows, the majority of which kicked ass. However, Star Trek's EU is primarily made up of characters bedding each other. So nah.

Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

Star Wars is fantasy, not sci-fi. Spaceships =/= sci-fi.

Well, it's technically both, it's defined as a space opera, a subgenre of science fiction that focuses on romantic and dramatic adventure.

If you're so anal about it, it's more or less science-fantasy. I don't how it's fantasy on its own.

They're both epic in their own ways; I don't think I prefer one over the other, so both.
Also, may the Fourth be with you.

I like them both in different ways, and I loved them both as a child, but I think that Star Trek has more appeal for me now as an adult than Star Wars does.
