Star Wars vs. Star Trek
Tom: I totally think the Federation could kick the Empires ass! I mean the franchise
Star Trek is such a classic and better than Star Wars overall
Bobby: Speaking about the Empire, its clearly greater with the millions of planets
and the Death Stars
Tom: What about the Acclamator, isnt it powerful?
Bobby: By imperial standards it isnt, the Imperial Star Destroyer is about 10 times
larger and also more powerful
Tom: Isnt the Acclamator just a transport?
Bobby: Yes but if you think about it in the sense in trying to generate a match
between the Imperial ship and a Federation ship is to use a small patrol craft such
as Jango Fett's Slave-1
Bobby: Oh and also dont forget about the video games of Star Wars like Battlefront,
it obviously puts the Star Trek games to shame
Tom: I would have to disagree, I feel the games for Star Trek has much potential
Bobby: Battlefront is so much more unique and very well-known and played.
Bobby: And also, oh man! Captain Kirk cant make up full sentences if his life
depended on it to run his crew
Tom: Really? I think Captain Kirk is quite smart and good at running his crew, I mean
Han Solo can be so careless and takes rash risks with his crew in the millennium
falcon
Bobby: Rash? Thats absurd, Han Solo is quite the badass and takes risks! Captain
Kirk is so bland in my view
Tom: I would have to disagree with your statement of Captain Kirk being bland. Hes
smart and a noble man with much integrity.
Bobby: Havent you seen the original Star Trek series and the continuous mishaps
that couldve put the enterprise at great stake? Spock and Captain Kirk was in great
danger several times that couldve led to much great damage.
Tom: That may be true but Id have to say, despite all the mishaps, Captain Kirk has
handled it all really well and always in the end kept the enterprise safe.

Bobby: Pfft, Han Solo is much more daring and has a great ability of leading a group,
hes endured through very sticky situations and used his wit to get out situations, if
you ever token a look in the comics, this point is really obvious.
Tom: Oh whatever, in comparison, the psychics of Star Trek is far more accurate
than of Star Wars.
Bobby: Why would that matter?? I mean, hello? They are lightsabers? This is a
franchise, it doesnt have to be accurate.
Tom: I would think it would matter, with Star Treks physics being far more accurate, I
feel like it gives the franchise that quality you know?
Bobby: I mean, I see what you mean, but Star Wars is far more engaging and
unique, the lightsaber is an original idea of a weapon of Stars, well known and iconic
Tom: Excuse, but Star Trek has that uniqueness and a very iconic weapon of the
hand-held phaser guns and has been portrayed in science fictions since the
beginning, Star Trek is such a true classic.
Bobby: I dont mean to burst your bubble, but how much of the hand-held phaser
guns been in memes About little to nothing. They are countless unique set of
memes and images for that matter concerning the light saber, the light saber itself
is unbelievably iconic if I say so myself.
Tom: Although the lightsaber is iconic as you say, the hand-held phaser type guns is
very iconic in science fiction itself and been featured in different types of other
science fiction series, books films and etc, it has made an impact in science fiction,
what has the lightsaber done hm?
Bobby: Well if you had to ask, the lightsaber has been something iconic with the
Star Wars franchise for years and oh did I mention, has inspired the creation of
other types of weapons in science fiction.
Tom: But look! Havent you thought of Star Treks fantastic character design? Its so
original
Bobby: What? Really? Last time I checked the character from Star Trek, the Vulcans
isnt very creative, I mean come on, and all they have is funny ear and ridged
foreheads, very original.
Tom: Fine fine, theyre both iconic and good franchises in Science Fiction, we can go
on with this forever, we can agree to disagree, you feel me?
Bobby: I feel you, agree to disagree
