WHIC HAS MORE CONTINUITY FLAWS STAR TREK OR THE STAR WARS PT?


I'll answer that after 28 combined seasons of a "Star Wars" related live action T.V. series, as well as 5 more live action movies, and Spread over 41+ years. Also after "Star Wars" dogma has had at least the input of 4 or more production teams and producer regime changes to deal with, and also hundreds of story writers input to shape it.

But truth be told, It's all just Apples and Oranges.

I think "Star Trek" has done a great job in using the best parts of it's own history and changing some things to fit as well as they could to keep the story fresh and exciting over 41 years. Sure there are big errors in continuity, but I feel they are acceptable to most fans.
The big ones in Trek that I can think of off the top of my head are the ones like Zefram Cochran in The film "First Contact" was from Earth, but in the original series he was said to be from Alpha Centauri. Or Khan knowing who Chekhov was in "The Wrath of Kahn" when Mr. Chekhov did not show up on the Enterprise until the second season of the 60's series, and Khan's "Space Seed" episode was in the first. Stuff like that is forgivable to a lot of fans because they made the movies story's better at the time. I can live with it, but I know there are some fans that can't. But, they still say they are fans. Funny that.

The way I see it "Star Wars" had 3 kick ass films, and "Star Trek" had 3.
So far...
