I don't think so.  If I'm wrong that's okay with me.

No, because you're taking my statement out of context.  I was contrasting Star Wars with Star Trek.  I think a good case can be made that Star Wars is intended, at heart, to be a tale for children, while Star Trek is meant to be for older audiences.  Mythic themes such as those in Star Wars are often presented in children's stories.  Whereas the philosophical, socio-political types of themes in Star Trek are typically reserved for works geared towards older audiences.

And by the way -- when I say something is meant for children, that's not meant to be a knock against it, or that children's entertainment can't also have depth and appeal to adults.  There's a quote from C.S. Lewis that I love that says "A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest."

I haven't heard anyone say that they were both sh*t. Unless you think that.

Both. Or neither. SW's aesthetics beats ST's hands-down, but I'll take ST's nuanced villains over SW's 2-dimensional black hats any day of the week.

While I do love both, for me, Trek wins out in the end.

Star Wars is more in the vein of Saturday afternoon popcorn matinee films, just fun and excitement to watch. I can see Confessor's point about the possible deeper philosophical meanings contained within the franchise but that is really dependent on the creator's focus at the time. I've found some deeper meanings about life and the Force within the pages of the EU books instead of the films themselves. So it just depends on how deep thematically whichever creator (in whatever medium) decides to delve past all the blaster fire and saber slashing.

Trek, on the hand, based on Roddenberry's original vision, is an anachronism today yet is needed now more than ever. The ideal of a utopia (in contrast to sci-fi's current need to show only dystopias)  is a vaunted and human ideal worth striving towards and the cult success that the franchise has built over the decades rests upon that ideal; that at some point, we as a species will get our act together and when we spread to the stars, we will encounter other races and civilizations in peace and mutual cooperation.

Plus, I love how Trek is rooted in actual science and physics. How the series has inspired countless people over the years to pursue careers in science and technology that have since gone on to improve our understanding of the universe and the overall possible quality of our lives. I have a ton of tech manuals in reference to Trek, both speculative and actual, that I have re-read many times over for their enjoyment and insight.

Perfect example: the TNG episode 'Relics'. When they explain how Scotty could've possibly survived for that long inside a transporter buffer, the wife and I both looked at each other and said, "That could work".  The franchise builds upon current scientific theories and follows through on their own internal continuity. It's wonderful.

The different series have their own respective highlights. DS9 has to be one of the best self-contained sci-fi stories ever committed to the small screen. Voyager, with it's hiccups to the Borg, contains some of the best time-travel episodes within the whole franchise. Enterprise got off to a rocky start but had settled into a good rhythm with the last season painting a fascinating new picture of Vulcan's past, how Khan's Augments affected Klingon society, the technological development of the Mirror Universe and possible allusions to the upcoming Earth/Romulan war (pity that Berman derailed it all with a very poor final episode).

In other media, I've followed more of Trek than I have of Wars. Even though I love the Star Wars EU novels, I have enjoyed Trek novels far more so with the insight and the adventures they create. Same with the comics. DC's first Trek comic series, which followed closely on the heels of Search for Spock, remains one of my top favorites books ever. The Trek cartoon was very enjoyable (though Clone Wars and Rebels are quickly catching up to it).

Star Wars is pure fun which isn't bad, but for me, for it's visions of the future, our society, our race, our place in the universe, coupled with desire for exploration and the technology to achieve that, Trek is much more enjoyable. 

We have to reverse the flow of tetryon particles to generate a subspace pulse that will knock out their graviton emitter!

Or, as is rumoured to be in the script: “technobabble”. 

Though it is true that while Star Wars is pure fantasy, Star Trek gives the impression of being based on some kind of advanced science, and truly did set many people on the path to study the real thing.
