Was the original Star-Trek series (The best one in my opinion) a success: It was after-all cancelled in its fourth year? Anyway, Star-Wars was based on the Kurosawa's movie Hidden Fortress and not on Star-Trek. By the way the budget for episodes of Star-Trek - The Next Generation reached over a million dollars per episode? In the question of Star Wars vs Star-Trek its got to be Star Wars (4-6) as (1-3 were rubbish and I don't consider them to be part of the series). Star-Trek TNG, DSN were rubbish. It was a soap opera that happened to be set in space? Even Babylon 5 was better than Star-Trek!
