I voted for Star Wars. You must understand, I was 17 when I saw the original and it absolutely blew me away. One thing that I really liked about SW was that the ships/weapons/planets etc all had that 'used/lived-in' feel. ST has always had pristeen ships and looked just a tad too squeeky clean to be believable. Oh, and the Falcon, it's still my favorite ship of all time. She is one of the strongest character's in the movies. Just as important as r2 and 3PO.
Also, ST was/is/and will always be primarily made for TV media. SW was/is in the realm of Motion Pictures. TV is nice, but a good movie beats TV hands down all the time.
But Thankfully this is real life, I don't really have to choose, I can have my cake and eat it too. Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate, B5, Farscape, Andromeda, Earth: Final Conflict, etc.
Oh, and Books,.. there are hundreds if not thousands of great Science Fiction books that have not found their way to TV or Movies, but that does not make them in any way less deserving. All in all, I think we are very lucky to be living in these 'interesting' times. Yes indeed, this is a great time, Live long and prosper my friends.
Cheers!
