And I know I'll get the wrath of a thousand fanboys... First, I will say that I enjoy Star Wars A LOT. It's a great series... With that being said...

Star Trek > Star Wars

Entertainment is 100 percent subjective. Shawshank is my #1 favorite movie with a bullet, but some people don't even have it in their top 10.

Like I said, I like Star Wars a lot. The original trilogy is fantastic. But the new set of movies, not that good.

I watched most of Rogue One on my flight (cut off before the last 20 minutes), and it was very good but not amazing.

I just enjoy the Trek more. The overall lore and universe speaks to me more than Wars.

Actually, uncle leo, I am a much larger fan of Star Trek than Star Wars as well, and to each their own - I have a long list of reasons why I connect more with Star Trek, but then I get into one of my annoyingly long posts if I start getting into them. That being said, Star Wars is and always has been a very entertaining story in its own right - although the memories of Hayden Christenen attempting to act do still sting.

TBS is running a marathon today of the first 6 movies. You can also stream on the TBS app on your phone, if you're like me and your office doesn't close for the Star Wars holiday!

Star Wars was the first movie I can recall watching (I was 5) and I am glad that I got to see the un-Lucasized-after-the-fact version. I still cringe whenever I see the "improvements" Lucas made to the original trilogy. (*shudders*)

Fun fact: I initially thought that the 20th Century Fox fanfare music and graphic was actually part of Star Wars (remember, I was 5) and to this day, I still get a little extra thrill from hearing that music.
