Trek pwns that shit.
I prefer Star Trek just for the reason of being more subtle and contemplative. I like Star Wars as well (sort of), but it's the same, old mishmash of archtypes and tropes since the dawn of time. Star Trek has plenty of clichés as well, but it explores the gray areas of morality and the wonder of humanity's future; it leaves room to breathe. It can get pedantic with its meaningless techno babble and navel-gazing (especially in TNG and voyager), but that's nothing we haven't seen from Doctor Who. While both are guilty of underestimating the vastness of space and the means of transcending it, Star Wars is very much on the lower end of that ("half-way across the galaxy by now..." please...).
