As such those both worlds should not be ever compared.


:( Work with me on this one.

Next I shall make a comparison between Wookies and Klingons... COMING SOON!

Why shouldn't the two ever be compared? From a storytelling standpoint the two are incredibly comparable, and nobody is going to grow hair on their palms for doing so, oddly on the internet the thought of comparing the two has almost become that taboo.

I would have never in my wildest dreams thought of making any ST vs. SW comparisions in this thread until Johnboy CAPSED OUT the importance of not doing so, then it became far too tempting.

I think it is silly to compare fictional science (which fictional universe has the faster ships, could the MF beat the Enterprise in a race), but comparing social aspects of the universe can be quite interesting. You can really see the different direction Roddenbury and Lucas were coming from, two similar universes, but two very different takes on them. The varying world views and social ideas of the two men is very facinating.

Back on topic, The Millenium Falcon is the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy. That means it is faster than Star Trek's ships. How fast exactly, we have no idea, but it is described as superlatively fast. So I would say your debate is solved, SW's speed system is faster.
