Write your reply.

assistant: Because Star Wars only came out with 3 movies that have lasted 20 yeas.
Star Trek has expanded it's horizons.  So, like ALL TV show, it has to
compete for ratings.  And since we're talking on this scale.  Who re-released
their movies with revamped spfx?  If that wasn't a way to bring in popularity
then I dont' know what is.

Write your reply.

assistant: You know, I just sent a great reply, then I get to this one.
First off,
?  What are you talking about.  I'm talking about blowing up the Death Star
twice, not the re-release. (Not that that was any better.)
I've never watched a perfect series in my life.  Because one doesn't exist.
I can't just watch Star Wars for fun though because there are just too many
discrepancies in it.  I mean it's like watching Babylon 5.
If all that existed was Star Wars and not Star Trek, then I would love Star
Wars.  But when I see how much better Star Trek is I just can't stand to sit
trough a "Wars" movie any more.  It's like voting for a Democrat just because
his Republican contender is "too old".  It just doesn't make sense.

Write your reply.

assistant: Yes, I know there are many more chapters to the Star Wars story.  The next
one will be released Thanksgiving/Christmas '99.  It's just first impressions
are the best, and they gave me a sour note.  George Lucas should have
established the story more and gained more confidence before repeating
himself.
And why are you resorting to foul language.  Just beacuse you don't have
anything better to say doesn't mean you have to use those "choice" words.

As it proves time and time again, Star Trek fans a smart and give logical

somewhat of a better name.

Trek.  We don't you reply to the reply's I give them?  That would make you

new stuff, and I have.  Just everyone, as arrogant as Star Wars fans are,

Write your reply.

assistant: Size makes a huge difference.  The smaller the ship, the easier to
incinerate.  An X-Wing would be just like running into an asteroid chip.  It
wouldn't faze at all.
1012 to be exact.
Again, the smaller, the easier.  That really doesn't help your argument by
saying that.  The only way NOT to be incinerated, is to pilot your X_Wing
just right to bounce off the shields.  But that is EXTREMELY difficult.  Very
few people in the Federation can do that.  Let alone Star Wars guys.
A fleet of star destroyers would be able to destroy SOME ships; but not that
many.  Maybe a Miranda class or two, probably a Soyuz too.  But up against
the entire fleet, there would be no competion.  Remember, Star Wars is
equipped with only lasers.  Star Trek uses lasers for battle SIMULATIONS.
