Comparing the lowlights of Star Wars and Star Trek

Post by Bothan Spy »

So in your opinion, which series had the greater "lowlights" in the following match-ups. I've included a number of categories from "most blatant pandering to a mass audience" to "biggest teenage whinner."


Here we go:

Most clueless command structure: Jedi Grand Council versus Starfleet Command

Starfleet deserves quite a few Mencia-style "durr de durr" moments, including always being caught with their pants down whenever insert - Vger/Borg/humpback whale probe shows up ready to destroy Earth. On the other hand, the Jedi Council never did figure out Palpatine was a Sith Lord.
"I see nutthing!" declares Jedi Master Clink.


Most useless alien character: Jar Jar Binks versus Neelix

On the surface, it looks like Jar Jar would win hands down. But then I got to thinking that Jar Jar is just one horrible character amid some cool heroes (Mace Windu, Obi Wan, Qui Gon) while Neelix is the most useless character among an entire shipful of useless characters.

Biggest teenage whiner: Wesley Crusher versus Annakin Skywalker

Now this is a hard match-up between Wesley "I want my mommy" Crusher and Annakin "I should be the most powerful jedi in the world" Skywalker.
Or maybe it's a trick question with Luke "I wanna go to Tashi Station!" Skywalker being the real winner.

Major hero least likely to get action with a gallon of Spanish fly and a pocketful of roofies: Young Obi Wan versus Captain Piccard

Ignore the "sizzling" romance between Piccard and Crusher that the writers of ST:TNG wanted you to believe. We all know Captain Piccard has no game. He had to switch lives with some long-dead alien to get a woman to move in with him for chrissakes. Yet while Obi Wan tries to play up the "Jedi are masters of discipline" routine, the truth is he comes off as a eunuch.

Most nauseatingly cute alien: tribbles versus E-woks

Yes, I'm one of those sadistic bastard who cheers everytime an E-wok gets wasted when I pop ROTJ into the old DVD player. But I have to say at least E-woks know how to stick things with spears. What do tribbles do that's even remotely cool?


Most blatant pandering film to a mass audience:
Star Trek IV versus Episode I

Walking out of Episode I, I thought there could be no other film in existence that sold out so badly. But looking back, I realized what a big piece of populist crock Star Trek IV with its cheap laughs as Kirk flicks off other drivers. Or its feel good message of saving the blue whale.

Please add your own categories/nominees.

In short, how are we to think you're anything but a troll when you consistently misspell important SW/ST terms, names, places, species, etc?
