Star Trek or Star Wars?

Chewie would throw Data to the ground like a broken little Barbie doll.

Hey you know what was pointed out to me recently was that when Return of the Jedi was ending, and the medals were getting passed around, Chewie never got one. What's up with that? He put his ass on the line like everyone else! Discuss.

Then give the parts to R2D2 to play with.

Star Wars gay robots>Star Trek Gay robots.

At least there's less gay robots in SW... In Star Trek, there's just one robot, and he's just sooooo gay. At least in Star Wars the robots are not trying to be more human... What a waste of CPU cycles THAT is.

I'm sorry but anyone who thinks C3PO is better than data has clearly been drinking too much. That's like saying jar jar is better than Warf because he never was obsessed with honor. The desire to become more human was a great sci fi plot to examine the human condition which is what good sci fi should always do.

I you will recall, Chewie was rescued form being slave. Giving him a medal would be too much like 'reparations'. Sorry, Chewie, but the leaders of the resistance can't make up for what the Empire did to you.

My kids were introduced to Star Wars IV over the holiday break (girls 5 and 9). They've already watched everything but III. We'll probably watch that one soon with a couple of skip chapters near the end. They are friggin hooked. My 9 year old keeps asking when will we watch the last one.

 

[clinesmith]

Star Trek all the way. If star wars was so great they would have had multiple TV shows and more movies. Granted Star Wars is good but its Star Trek that gets this nerds vote.

They do have shields, they had to knock out the shield generator in return of the jedi

Maybe you missed the part in first contact were Data chucked a Borg like a it was a paper cup. Chewbacca is my favorite star wars character but Im pretty sure Data would own him

Wasn't that the death star? It showed the X wings and tie fighter crashing into the star destroyers and damaging them. No shields I think

 

[Goofynewfie]

You could be right , but they definitely have the technology

They have shields, but they're electro-magnetic shields to repel laser fire. A physical ship goes right through.

Also, the geodesic domes on top of star destroyers are the shield generators...knock those out then fire away

I have to agree here. The couple times that data hulked out he was destructor.

But, does Data pull people's arms out of their sockets when he loses?

No because he doesn't lose

Yeah you're probably right. Especially since inside the Chewbacca suit you actually have this.

 

[snyklez]

Ha ha, I'm loving this thread. Data would definitely hulk out and destroy Chewy, but I'd rather have a beer with Chewy. And beam a photon torpedo onto their bridge...hilarious. Wow, could you imagine a Borg assimilated Darth Vader? The hive mind coupled with the power of the force? Excellent.

 

[cheezydemon3]

Yoda can lift a planet or control minds. End of debate.

 

[solbes]

Data might be kinda cool in his own way. But "when 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not". He'd be a rusty pile of junk. I bet even a T10,000 (next gen) from Terminator could kick his arse.

Yoda on the other hand...

 

[DromJohn]

The Doctor looks just fine at more than 900 years.

 

[sonofgrok]

What about the whole yoda padawan touching cover up?

That funny. Brent spiner kind of looked like him in independence day lol

Original Star Trek was good - when I was in grade school.
Star Trek TNG was good when I was in college.
Startrek Enterprise was good because, well, just two words - Jolene Blalock!!!
The recent Star Trek move - really good can't wait for the next one.

Firefly - one of the best sci-fi shows ever done cancelled waaaaay to early, even SWMBO likes that one, hates everything else says Star Trek is too communist and stupid (STBM - sucks to be me).

Star Wars movies - first three were really good when they came out, the last new episodes, they're ok to watch if you're bored, there's absolutely nothing else to do, SWIMBO ain't around and you've been drinking.

Stargate Universe was the best series of any of the Stargate shows. You should check it out if you get a chance.

You mean epic awesomeness? This... is... our.. INDEPENDENCE DAYYYYYY!

 

[45_70sharps]

I still don't understand this thread.

All star trek's, then somewhere down the list is star wars.
Hell I would put futurama ahead of star wars!

....gonna hafta pretend you didn't say that....

Independance day SUCKS. Will at his worst, more "Oh here you happen to find us waiting for you, despite the fact that the world is in chaos and we ARE the proverbial needle in the fracking haystack" moments than I can force myself to recall, unbelieveable purely evil aliens who travelled LIGHTYEARS across universes with technology FAR beyond ours, but just can't seem to scrape the pesky life off of this rock....

I'd have to disagree. Nothing appealed to me about sgu, but I loved sg1 and to a lesser extent sga. I do think sg1 got bad after Richard Dean Anderson was promoted to General. Universe was just balance of power stuff between scientists and military and next to no exploring. Not my cup o tea. If you enjoy that you'd probably like the new BSG.
