It used to be cool to like Star Wars. It didn't have the same geek stigma that Trek had. I remember a Trekkie telling me that I was insane to be a Star Wars fan, citing the fact that it's "only three movies", and Trek is six movies (more now) and spans several series.

But now that all the Star Trek series have finally been cancelled, the same people who called Star Wars crap have latched onto the prequels, putting down their phasers and picking up a lightsaber, intermingling with those of the pure faith. And now to most people, Star Wars is practically synonymous with Trek: A bunch of dorks in burlap costumes doing the Jedi mind trick and giving the Vulcan neck pinch.

And Lord of the Rings is soon turning into the same thing.

But I'm not bitter.
