The Top 13 Reasons “Star Trek”
Is Better Than “Star Wars”
Is Better Than “Star Wars”
- Solo, Skywalker and Calrissian put together didn’t get a fraction of the sex that a single James Tiberius Kirk got.
- At least "Trek"’s obligatory and annoying furry critters stayed mostly quiet, content to pass the time f%$king and multiplying.
- "The Force? Heh, heh. We don’t need no stinkin’ Force."
- In "Star Wars," a mysterious Force governs the universe. In "Star Trek," they have a Prime Directive, which they get to toss out the nearest airlock whenever it’s convenient.
- Kahn dines on guys like Vader the same way Jabba the Hutt eats bon bons.
- Leia may have had her bikini, but what teenage lad *didn’t* think about banging a skinny Kirstie Alley doggie style while yanking on those long Vulcan ears?
- On the ginormous character front, "Shatner the Hutt" didn’t show up until the final season.
- The franchise is so valuable, they’ve entrusted it to J.J. Abrams, which is a powerful show of faith in —- wait, what? Oh. Never mind…
- Kirk would shoot Jar-Jar Binks before he got a word out.
- Scotty could keep the Dark Side at bay with duct tape.
- When a guy at a bar propositions you in Klingon, you know to start running and not look back. But you don’t know a "Star Wars" fan until he hands you the Princess Leia bikini and asks you to wear it to bed.
- Uhura or Leia —- who’s gonna keep Daddy happy?
And the Number 1 Reason “Star Trek” Is Better Than “Star Wars”…
- In "Star Wars," everyone has lasers and cannot shoot straight. But in "Star Trek," everyone has phasers and cannot shoot straight. It’s a subtle difference, I’ll give you that.
