I was reading Fox News today (usually check out all the news sources) and came across an article titled:
William Shatner disses ‘Star Wars,’ says ‘Star Trek’ is better: Who wins the intergalactic debate?
In this article, he goes on to say that George Lucas borrowed everything from Star Trek. He even says the new Star Trek movie by JJ Abrams has better special effects than Star Wars. He also says Star Trek has a better story line. He also says that Star Trek had better heroines than Leia in Star Wars.
While it was a lot of tongue in cheek, it was pretty funny. I love both, so I don’t really consider one to be better than another. I really like Bill Shatner, so I really enjoyed the interview.

Star Trek wins out in the end, not necessarily through anything the series did itself. You can thank George Lucas for the direction that Star Wars took – into the grave.
If a young Shatner tried out for a part today, he would be laughed off the stage.
