What Was Better: Star Trek or Star Wars?
William Shatner recently voiced his opinion on the decades long debate of what was better: Star Trek or Star Wars? What are your thoughts? Let us know. Here is a video clip showing William Shatner explaining why Star Wars will always pale in comparison to Star Trek.
First, Star Wars vs Star Trek normally means “could the Empire kick the Federation’s ass”. If it’s a question of taste (ie- “do you like Star Wars more than Star Trek”), debate becomes impossible because the answer is subjective. Anyway, once we agree that we’re talking about military prowess, people like to perform substitutions: instead of Federation vs Empire, suddenly it’s the Borg vs the Empire, or Species 8472 vs the Empire, or the Q vs the Empire, or perhaps the race that built the Dyson Sphere vs the Empire, because all of them showed up at some time or other in Star Trek. But lest we forget, Star Trek is basically about the Federation, remember? That’s the technology base. Subject changes are quiet admissions that the Empire would wipe the floor with the main characters of Star Trek, so you’ve got to resort to one-episode wonders.
