Star Wars is better than Star Trek

To start off this round. I'd like to say that my opponent never defined what he meant as "successful" when he proposed the debate. So logically, I would assume that meant "successful," in the literal definition. My opponent never properly defined what successful meant, so this definition is the one to be used.Successfulaccomplishing an aim or purposeAnd since selling video games was never an intention of the Star Trek franchise, which is obvious, considering that all video games were developed by 3rd party developers, with no direction from the official Star Trek franchise. So my opponents point on video games is void, because while that may have been an aim for George Lucas, it was never one for Gene Roddenberry.CharactersMy opponent said that "being relatable too" is not really better, in terms of alien characters. He says fans were able to relate to Darth Vaders struggles and turmoil through the whole saga. No source has been provided for this. But I'd also like to point out that Anakin Skywalker was relatable too, because in Episode 1: the Phantom Menace, he was seen as a 9-year old kid. So Darth Vader is not a good example of an alien culture, because he was once human. Moving on, My opponent gives a list of alien in Star Wars that could be understood, but this isn't even close to equalling the amount of depth in aliens from Star Trek. Because the difference is, the aliens from Star Trek had distinct cultures, that were explored and developed deeply, and even real languages were later created for them, such as Klingon, which contains it's own grammar rules, and has been constructed as a full language.Source: http://www.amazon.com...StoryMy opponent says that Star Wars has thousands of comic books, and games, and books. But he also says that THE FANS have taken the Star Wars universe to the very beginning of the Jedi. These stories are for some reason considered canon by the general Star Wars fanbase.In fiction, canon is the material accepted as part of the story in an individual universe of that story. It is often contrasted with, or used as the basis for, works of fan fiction.But in Star Trek, there are also many books, some written by actors from the franchise, such as William Shatner. These however are not considered as canon, because they are mainly fan fiction. Fan fiction is seperate from the official franchise.SustainabilityMy opponent has not provided any sources that Star Wars has captured the younger market to the extent that the continuation of the franchise is more likely than that of Star Trek. But the continuality of Star Trek isn't based on speculation anymore, due the success of the new Star Trek films, which ARE CANON. The 2009 Star Trek film earned 24 award wins, including one Oscar. Star Trek: Into Darkness, released in 2013, earned 9 awards, and another Oscar. So, unlike Star Wars, whose continuality is still to be proven, as the new films have not come out yet, Star Trek has already established that even after 50 years, the franchise is still going strong.Score My initial argument on this subject was a bit thin, because I only mentioned Jerry Goldsmith, while overall there were many composers who contributed to Star Trek, here, I will give the awards won by each of them, for Star Trek.Jerry Goldsmith - http://www.imdb.com... Outstanding Individual Achievement in Main Title Theme Music - Star Trek: Voyager BMI Film Music Award - Star Trek: First Contact IFMCA Award - Star Trek: The Motion Picture Leonard Rosenman - http://www.imdb.com... ASCAP Award - Star Trek: The Voyage Home Michael Giacchino - http://www.imdb.com... ASCAP Award - Star Trek: Into Darkness ASCAP Award - Star Trek [2009] BMI Film Music Award - Star Trek [2009] IFMCA Award - Star Trek [2009] Sierra Award - Star Trek [2009] That makes for a total of 9 awards given to the Star Trek franchise, for music based accomplishments. Compare that to Star Wars' 9, which my opponent provided. My opponent started to compare John Williams to Jerry Goldsmith, but that's not a fair comparison between the 2 franchises, because Jerry Goldsmith was not the only composer who worked on Star Trek. After tallying the awards won, I think we can assume that this category is tied, because both sides won the same amount of awards. Cultural ImpactMy opponent has asked me to prove that quotes from Star Trek are popular. And I looked at his source, from which he found that "may the force be with you" was ranked 8th. But my opponents source is the American FILM institute, and most of Star Treks iconic phrases came out it's TV series. PRnewswire has ranked the top 100 TV quotes and phrases. And in that list, I found these Star Trek quotes. Live long and prosper [Spock, and Vulcan Salute] Resistance is futile [The Borg] Space, the final frontier... [Capt. Kirk, title sequence] http://www.prnewswire.com... For critical acclaim, I admit I should've provided sources, I looked at my opponents source, which was an encyclopedia, and I found these entries which I think prove the critical acclaim, and impact it left on the American entertainment industry. http://www.britannica.com... http://www.britannica.com... My opponent gave links to 2 techonlogies inspired by Star Wars, whereas there were many more inspired by Star Trek. And I will say, in my opinion, that cell phones, and ion drives have much more practical uses than the technololgies my opponent sourced, not to mention there were many more technologies inspired by Star Trek, more than the ones my opponent showed from Star Wars. My opponent then says he cannot take my earlier argument into consideration. Does he really need a source before being able to refute the racial barriers broken by Star Trek? Well if he does, I will provide them. Here is the source that my opponent requested on the racial barriers broken by having a black woman play a lieutenant in the 1960's http://www.npr.org... Here is the source for the Japanese - American, and homosexual actor, who played Hikaru Sulu, on the show. http://elm.washcoll.edu... Here is the Russian pilot, Pavel Chekov. http://en.memory-alpha.org... And the popular dates for the beginning and ending of the Cold War, between the US and it's allies, and the Soviet Union, and it's allies, are 1947 - 1991. Source - http://www.datesandevents.org... Now, I would like my opponent to try and discredit these racial barriers broken by the Star Trek franchise. Because undoubtedly, they had a major impact on the future of entertainment in the nation. After these rebutalls, I give the virtual microphone back to my opponent.
