I like them both. Mostly the original series and next gen. As a whole star wars is better but star trek is great also. Star trek two the wrath of khan os right up there with empire strikes back in terms of a great sequel. Not quite as good but a close 2nd place.

Empire strikes back is perfect in every way. Funny how the film Lucas had almost nothing to do with is hailed as the best starwars film and voted the 2nd best sequel of all time 2nd only to the godfather part 2 by the american motion picture institute.

Irvin kershner said lucas was on the set maybe 2 times during the entire filming and that Lucas gave him free reign to do what he wanted. Gary Kurtz also said that Lucas was a bit upset that kershner wasnot the type of director to let him phne in and give ideas for him to follow and that is why he hired richerd MQ to do return of the jedi. He said for episode 6 lucas would just call in and tell richered what to do and in many ways return of the jedi basiclly was directed by lucas in that sense. that started the downhill spiral. kurtz said by that time lucas changed his mind on the direction he wanted to take the series and that he was more forcused on selling toys than making a quality film. hence the ewoks and the 2nd death star..which kurtz said was just a rehash of a new hope with better special effects.

Has anyone here ever read the original script for return of the jedi before lucas changed it? its really good.much better than the final take. Obi wan and yoda and Luke fight the emperor and darth vader.
