Star wars or Star trek, which society would you prefer to live in?

[GP2017GT]

How is this even a question. In Star Wars, human live mostly like the old west with space technology. You also have an evil empire (or remnents of one) trying to grind everyone beneath their heel. In Star Trek humans live in an effective utopia where they can have anything they want and poverty is no longer a thing (thank you replicators).

Star trek all the way

Oh boy here we go again with politics. Star Treck Democratic President. Star Wars well...

Related note, have you ever heard the cut before they dubbed in James Earl Jones?

Yep. Wasn’t very menacing.

I like Star Wars but basically, the story is one of an old time western. The plot got played out in the first 3 episodes. Everything since has been 'meh."

So my vote goes Star Trek, all day, every day. Star Trek is a vision of mankind at its best. It's about hope, loyalty, camaraderie, a spirit of discovery & adventure - a unification of all who wish to live in peace & harmony, but if you choose to fight, the Federation will bring it.

Unless you count the series Deep Space Nine or Voyager. Both were barely watchable in my opinion.

If you've never watched it, I highly recommend the Star Trek Series, "Enterprise." It's available on Nextflx, I think, maybe Amazon Prime- I forget. Enterprise is a prequel starring Scott Bakula as the first captain, Jonathan Archer, of the first warp 5 capable generation starship, the NX01, the Enterprise. I think it only went 4 seasons before it got cancelled. Again, in my opinion, it ranks right up there w/the original ST series, as well as Next Generation. I really enjoyed re-watching the entire series recently.

And now I’m watching ST:TNG. From the beginning.

Measure of a man is a favourite of mine. Even my wife who doesn’t care for Star Trek thought it was a great episode.

My favorite. I love “Q”.

Yeah, Melinda Snodgrass is a good writer. She became story editor on the show for a season or two.

So since I’m a movie fan I’ve thought about who would play characters in a TNG reboot. I figured it could tie into the Kelvin movies.

There was an idea for Star Trek 4, for the crew to travel back in time and Kirk would meet his father George, since he never met him in the Kelvin timeline. Figured they’d get pulled into a singularity and go back in time. When the story would be over they’d use the same singularity and travel back to their time, however something goes wrong and they end up in the future to meet the TNG crew. Neither crew has ever met one another on screen except for individual cameos.

Here’s my fancast:

Picard: Tom Hardy (prosthetic nose and chin like ST:Nemesis)
Riker: Chris Evans (based on previous roles, he can play a good leader and a good people person)
Troi: Gal Godot or Ana de Armas
Crusher: Jessica Chastain
Data: Tom Hiddleston or Sacha Boren Cohen
La Forge: Kevin Hart (I know it’s odd, but I think he can do drama and has good charisma for Geordi)
Worf: Mike Colter (Luke Cage)
Wesley: Tom Holland (he’s good at playing a kid)
O’Brien: Chris O’dowd
Guinan: Danai Gurira
Borg Queen: Charlize Theron
Q: Hugh Laurie
Yar: Vanessa Kirby

Figured the Borg would be involved. As for Q, he’d be the reason for Kirk’s crew to be pulled back and forth through time, for shits and giggles.
