I absolutely agree, Grumpy. I had been skeptic for a long time, but that faded as people started saying all these good things about it.
I went to see it today and I loved it. It had some flaws, but overall it was great. I would have seen it either way though as I also like Star Trek. However I only buy merchandise from Star Wars.
Personally I think the war between Wars and Trek is for those with no brain and nothing better to do in their life, and they need to grow up - poor things. tongue

What is this Star Trek thing you speak of? mischief

Seriously, I hear it's a really good movie. Glad to see that -- nothing wrong with keeping franchises alive....

It's ok to like star trek, as long as you recognize that Star Wars is better.

Of course.... to me there is Star Wars.... then all the other movies (including Star Trek). I'm just saying it was one hell of a movie.

My first love is Star Wars...of course.

However, I would be lying to everyone if I did not admit that I am also a Trekkie. But, in my defense I should say that Shatner in is younger years was yumm-o...lol. Nuff said!

Typical Star Wars fan sense of humor. =) That's just one of the things that I've always felt has made us better then them! ;-)

Eh, I like them both equally. I grew up with both and they are both so different that it's a matter of which I'm in the mood for. One is SCIENCE-fiction and the other is science-FICTION. Star Wars is a fantasy where the fiction greatly overpowers the science, it takes place in the distant past in a distant world. It's like dungeons and dragons and Lord of the rings in space. Star Trek is the "possible" human future it's what WE might be able to achieve if we put aside our own differences and work together, good and evil aren't black or white and the science part of the fiction is more grounded.
