I think its just because ST is so wide spred and SW is almost un herd of. That gives people who like it the bad rap. Do you ever here of people who like star gate or andromida called geek. Its more wide spred than SW so people except it as normal to to watch them every week. and us people who watch and out dated movie that few have ever seen the original to seems strange to them. I do know were your coming from, my brothers tease me about liking SW.
