Bigger fan base: Star Wars or Star Trek
With Episode 3 on it's way the Star wars fanatics are coming out of the wood work. Now does it compare to the Trekkies?

I dont think you can compare them, at least until they come out with a Star Wars television series.

Yeah, Star Wars has more of an legendary image than Star Trek. There are like 123 Star Trek movies and same amount of tv series.

Trekkies.
Star Wars fans only come out of the closet when there's a new movie. Trekkies aren't ashamed to dress up like their favorite Klingon Commander for any given occasion--Wedding, ballgame, even to go see a Star Wars movie. |

If there was a starwars tv show it might be different, when was there a huge line of people to go see every startrek film?

There was a Star Wars TV show before. Something to do with Ewoks or whatever they were called.

Bigger fan base: Star Wars
More dedicated fan base: Star Trek You just have to look at the box office numbers for the Star Wars movies to see that there are more Star Wars fans. But they're not as rabidly obsessive about those movies as Trekkies are about Star Trek. |

There is going to be a star wars tv series. It takes place between E3 and E4. Lucas has confirmed he will direct the first season. I'll look for a link later...

Nah, most Trekkies and Star Wars fans hate the other franchise and each other. Get a Trekkie and a Jedi together and they'll argue the semantics of Warp Drive vs. Hyperdrive, the Delta Quadrant vs. Alderaan, and the Force vs. Phasers set to 'stun'.
Or occassionally you will get a geek like me who does love them both. ![]() |

Exactly that. Star Wars seems to have the more universal appeal that pretty much anyone can find atleast one thing interesting in but as for Star Trek, you have to be pretty geeky ![]() |

Star Wars is cooler because their resident black man (Lando) could kick Star Trek's (Geordie) ass.

I'm not interested in either, star wars seems really corny and Star Trek seems to be future historic (not in a bad way, but I wouldn't be able to watch more than one episode at a time).

Star Trek sucks, and their fan base is filled with the biggest pack of virgins alive.
Star Wars is really for everyone....even a normal person can watch it and enjoy it. |
