"Star Wars had an awful script...I'm not a fan of either, but if we're to choose it would have to be Trek...at least the cast of that were able to 'act' and as for Star Wars?...well, the first two of the originals were ' ok' but Return of the Jedi was just plain awful. As for the prequels?... I certainly ain't holding out much hope for the new one, that's for sure! God the new film is going to be miles better than that shit they called 1-3!!! And bloody jar jar isn't in it!! Better film already!" I hope you're right! My lad wants to see it so I'll take him. He's a big Star Wars fan, certainly more so than I was at his age! I always preferred the " what if...?" type sci if myself. Something like John Carpenter's "The Thing" always seemed more powerful than, say, Star Wars or Alien as it was here, effectively today? Same goes for Stargate, They Live or even Independence Day | |||

" I agree, the thing was an awesome film!" The cast was phenomenal and, as for the Thing itself? Easily the greatest of all screen monsters! I don't think Vader and his lot would have stood a chance against that! | |||

"I think if i was stuck on a desert island (with a tv and dvd player and some electricity) i would have to go with Star Trek, the multiple series and films just make a much bigger universe. More moral questions and dilemmas, especially in TNG. But that said, light sabres are pretty darn cool! " I loved TNG because of the questions and dilemmas. There were some fantastic storylines | |||

"I loved TNG because of the questions and dilemmas. There were some fantastic storylines " Agreed, such as 'ShoreLeave', where Jean-Luc visits his brother, they fight, & JL admits his heartache over the Borg assimilation & breaks down in tears That said, practically anything with Patrick Stewart in is worth watching (he made a magnificent Scrooge!!) I know it's only a written role, but who wouldn't follow a leader like him? Avery Brookes (Sisko in DS9) was also a wonderful Captain & leader Enterprise was a very good idea, with Scott Bakula as a good Captain T'Pol......wowsers!!!!!!! The Xindi episodes went on for too long, & was any such attack ever mentioned in the original series | |||

"I liked the 'new' Star Trek films but the old films were shite and so were the series (when I watched the odd episode). It would be interesting to see if Disney decide to do a Star Wars series. " The new star trek films are far more entertaining, far less ham involved (I'm talking to you Bones!). The star trek spinoffs have been as dull as ditchwater, and the new generation was so up its own arse it was untrue. Really annoying characters and crap effects. Star wars has been guilty in 1 to 3 of being to glossy and overuse of CGI fucked it up, though if the stories had been filmed a la "new hope", they would have been better and more accepted by the fans. I will always favour Star Wars, as its better cinematographically, and it deals with emotional issues better than the old star trek ones did. JJ Abrams has given star trek the kick up the arse it needed, put in some good actors and made it bigger and better than it ever was. Competition between the two can only be a good thing for the punters. | |||

"Most annoying thing for me when I saw the original sw as a kid was the line Guiness had about the troopers when they discovered all those things that Luke had bought the droids from had been murdered? He said something along the lines that it must have been storm troopers as the blasts were too accurate... Yet, later in the movie those guys couldn't hit a barn door! The magic of Sw was lost on me as, before I'd seen it, I had already seen the likes of Jaws, Escape from New York and, as previously mentioned, The Thing-so is already seen what a great script and top notch performances could do with a film which, sadly Star Wars had nothing of the sort." The storm troopers on tattooine were different ones from those on the Death Star!!! | |||

Must admit, loved that rip off Mel Brooks done of Star Wars, and William Shatner's appearances on Airplane II and Police Squad! ( in Color!) were absolutely brilliant! | |||

Star Wars was exactly what Lucas intended it to be. A big screen full length film that relived the magic of the old Saturday morning serials like Flash Gordon. It was meant to be a romp, a bit of old fashioned escapism. I do think that the age you were when you saw it has a big effect, like songs do. I was seven when I first saw it, and for me its the best film of all time, because it had such an impact on me. It's the same with Dr Who, Tom Baker, will always be my Dr Who. I appreciate the others, Ecclestone and Tennant were fantastic, the rest...meh...but that's because of initial impact. | |||

For me, my favourite was Roger Moore, not necessarily that he was the best, but as he was the first- for me ( I saw three or four of his before I had seen a Connery one ) | |||

"Your answer best be Star Trek ??" Star wars, it's iconic. Problem is with star trek, you have the original series, next generation, ds9, voyager, enterprise and all the films, it's bit of a series overload. | |||

Massive star wars fan here, i'll happily watch star trek, but it will never hold a place in my heart. Very excited (excited being an understatement) for the new films, and the fact that my two little boys love it as well. In fact i'm so excited i could quite possibly explode! | |||

"Perfectly possible to love both. As a 7 seeing his first ever film in the cinema you can never remove he image of the star destroyer filling the screen. ( just wish I could remove Jar jar). Love what JJ has done with Star Trek and hope he does the same for Star Wars. " Oh he will reintroducing and doing more physical effects than the prequels which relied to much on cgi. | |||

"Stargate was a very clever film, great believable idea and an astonishing collection of performances from Russell and Spader. Interesting that Lucas wanted Kurt to play Han Solo but he turned it down flat ( though he was happy to read the Solo part for other auditionees for dialogue.) At the time he was a pro baseball player and the only reason he returned to acting was because of an injury ( he was a child star ). I can't imagine anyone other than Ford as Han, but you never know with these things..." Christopher Walken tried out for Han Solo as well. I've seen the footage of his audition. He would have been good, but he always is! Look on YouTube for some great comedy auditions of famous people trying out for star wars. Kevin Spacey does a great Walter Matthau being Obi Wan. | |||
