^ this.  I mean I love Star Wars and I really liked LOTR but I'm a Trekkie.  I've also never read nor have I ever watched any of the Harry Potter movies.

It has got to be the Tolkien Universe for me.  From the Silmarillion, The Children of Hurin, the 12 volume histories of Middle earth to the Lord of the rings it is the richest of the universes.  The fact that Tolkien created workable languages is pretty amazing as well.

I love Star Trek too and there would be no Star Wars without Star Trek but those Star Wars movies are the bomb!

Absolutely.  But...Trek is way more in depth than Star Wars.  I will say Star Wars does the big screen better than Trek.  Trek has had as many flops at the box office as they've had successes.

very true...except I & II

that said, always remember that at their core...Star Wars is a movie series and Star Trek is a TV series...there has been Star Wars on TV and Star Trek movies, but in their heart, that's what they are. 

It's why I'm glad to see Trek returning to it's roots with Discovery

I am always down for a new Star Trek movie but the Star Wars movies and the spin offs openings has become a family event.  For the Force Awakens and Rogue One, the wife and I had to travel to San Diego in order to take in those movie openings with our son (he lives and works in SD).  My grandsons are also big fans.  Pretty cool to have my passion for these movies come through the whole family, feels like I have done something right.

My daughter likes Star Wars. We went to see Rogue One opening night in IMAX and we will do the same thing for TLJ in December.

watched Rogue One again last night with a friend (3rd viewing)....my only complaint is I wish they had done more with Forest Whitaker's character and using what looks like giant hard drives is kinda silly at scarif...other than that, great movie.

I considered adding Star Trek but thought that would open the doors to any other T.V. series.  Kept to the major Box offices with published books.

some of the best Star Trek adventures are the thousands of Trek novels...

I also think a lot of the Tarkin scenes should've been Vader.

Never heard of them.  I guess I will ad Star Trek....

There's a lot of good stories out there in the Trek universe.  Depends what you're interested in. You can follow Riker on the Titan or stay on DS9 and see what happens after the war.  Those are just a couple of examples, obviously.
