Being a huge fan of both Star Trek and Star Wars, I can with objective clarity that both Roddenberry and Lucas are visionaries in their own right.  It is the height of stupidity to compare two vastly different pieces of sci-fi history.

Star Trek was Gene Roddenberry's fictional vision of what would happen to humanity and Star Wars was set a long time ago...in a galaxy far, far away.  Star Wars is simply a masterful example of light vs dark, good vs evil ideal.  That sentence right there is EVERY REASON why saying one is better than the other is utterly pointless.  It's personal preference to like one or the other or both, but they cannot be compared.  The only things they have in common is that they are part of sci-fi, have spawned spinoffs, mass merchandising, and a plethora of novelas, comic books and graphic novels. 

Chewie was great, he could fly a spaceship and loved going round shooting stormtroopers. Bones was always being the humanitarian, what a boring bastard he was.

The original Star Wars trilogy is classic cinema, the prequels are a waste of time, the only good thing to come out of them was Weird Al Yankovics encapsulation of the entire plot of Phantom Menace into one song, sung to the tune of American Pie, check it out on youtube, it's clever and funny.

I've always thought Star Trek was a good tv show, the movies didn't do much for me at all, can't really remember anything about them apart from Wrath Of Kahn. Ricardo Montalbans portrayal of Kahn is probably the best and most memorable piece of acting ever done by anyone in anything associated with Star Trek, he completely outclasses second raters Shatner and Nimoy and all the other B grade hacks involved in the franchise. The Star Trek movies are to Sci Fi what the Police Academy movies are to comedy, the first few were ok, but after a while it just gets tiresome. Just a bunch of crappy actors flogging a dead horse.

Star Wars ( the originals ) wins it easily for me.

I used to have the old trilogy on VHS. Loved C-3PO and R2D2, and the Ewoks, too!!!  The old Star Wars trilogy is a work of genius in my eyes. There's great aliens, cool space weaponry (like the small moon...er, space station, and the Milennium Falcon, and the giant four-legged robots in "The Empire Strikes Back"), and an awesome storyline.  The prequels are visually great (cool battle scenes, especially in Episode 3), but that one guy who played Anakin Skywalker sucked. I didn't like him at all...  ....but he got better when his legs were chopped off.
