NOT IF ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT, I HAVE! One thing time has done well is allowing me appreciate the craft that went into designing the worlds. Attack of the Clones I straight-up think has a plethora of issues compared to any of the others, including the prequels, but knowing that a ton of people worked hard to make a good movie, I still love watching how much work went on behind the scenes. The Prequel Wars sucked because you couldn't really be in that camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I've never gotten into Star Wars. Now that I can just literally watch it it all whenever I want I'm tempted to marathon through it, but I don't know.

Guest Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Star Trek fans are in no way as annoying as Star Wars fans. Star Trek fans don’t feature a notable contingent of completely toxic clowns. Bad take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 At least Star Trek Nerds actually seem to LOVE the franchise. I don't think Star Wars "fans" like anything about Star Wars other than their mythological memories of the original trilogy and their head canon fan fiction.

This is part of it, Trek fans talk about which series, which plot line, which Captain, etc. that they love the most. SW fans seem to spend far more times fighting over what they hate the most There is just a general positivity to Trekdom that is endearing to me as somebody who isn’t super into the series.

Well, the JJ-verse, otherwise known as the Kelvin timeline did seem the alienate quite a bit of fans. Then you have Discovery. All the “remove TLJ from canon” cries, is echoed on the Star Trek side with “DSC isn’t canon” cries from the fans. season 2 of DSC won some people back, but looking at season 3 maybe they should have quit while they were ahead. lol I’m fairly certain the Picard show will have a split reaction among the fans too. The problem Star Trek has faced was there really hasn’t felt like a single unifying body controlling canon since Enterprise went off the air in the early 2000s. It felt more like different groups are just throwing out Star Trek themed movies and shows in hopes of rekindling the fires into a huge deal again.

Guest Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 DS9 is the only Trek series I’ve seen every episode, so Sisko is my captain and the Defiant is my ship. And DS9 Worf is my Worf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I did like how DS9 allowed Worf to finish the growth as a character he just barely begun in the last couple of season in TNG. I was never a TOS fan. Always felt a bit camp to me. But I liked the movies. The only Star Trek I have outright disliked is Voyager. I like DS9. TNG holds a sentimental place in my heart nothing else can touch. And Enterprise was fun and growing on me with each season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 DS9 was just the best written/thought out series. There is an actual story arc from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Star Trek is generally very cohesive and seriously written so Trekkies have nothing to complain about. Star Wars is silly and all over the place and generally makes no sense, so Star Wars fans will complain often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waaay too old for that nonsense. I'm curious about both Clone Wars and Rebels which is why I brought them up, and I may check them out when I have nothing else to do. How many seasons does each show run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said I haven't gotten into Clone Wars, but Rebels only has four seasons. I could point out specific cool things about it, but the gist is that it's basically the origin of the Rebellion: how it was organized, how it grew support, how they built up their first squadrons, why and how they came to use some of their signature ships, and it does expand on the nature of the Force at several points.

Bacon Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I am not a true star wars fan. Star Wars could be far better than it is. I just wish they would star over. Like 1000 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
