Star Wars hands down. 

I loved watching Star Trek, but it is/was the most liberal utopian groupthink backstory.  Star Wars has a much more conservative ideology.

My kids started watching "Clone Wars" on Cartoon network--cheesy computer animation serials that fill in the pieces of the timeline in the [sucky] prequels.  I was EXTREMELY shocked at how pro-right the storylines are--even to the point of teaching MORALS.  Which means they "will cancel the he!! out of it," to misquote MB.

I just got back from the new Star Trek movie.  Numero Uno.  Beats out all of the other Star Trek movies...and the Star Wars prequels. 

Yes, Kirk does better with the ladies then the little Jedi feller...and even Spock seems to score better than Hans Solo...but I digress.

We already heard the worst Star wars quote on Jan 20th 2009:
"So this is how Liberty dies, to roaring applause."
Lucas always did have a good grip on history, especially drawing comparisons with Greek and Roman societies. Now even our own has reached the much anticipated final stage; the point society falls to it's own greed and short sightedness.

In terms of this Star Trek movie, I haven't seen one better and I am a fan of the Star Trek and Star Wars franchises. This was well planned, well told and well casted. The cast so represented their original counterparts like I never thought possible. The guy playing McCoy had me cracking up the whole movie just because he reminded me of the original so well. Otherwise, NOT PREACHY like they had been in years past all action all character all fun!
