Star Trek lost its identity and Star Wars can't do anything new. Mando was cool but very fan servicey to the point of being corny at times and was somewhat bland. It's almost like they both have the opposite issue. Though, I would say Star Wars is in a better place. when I hear about new Star Wars media, I'm interested.
With Star Trek if I hear they're working on anything new I assume it's not going to be good which sucks because I love Star Trek.
Meanwhile Star Trek hasn't had a good game since Star Trek Voyager Elite Force, and that game didn't really feel like Star Trek anyway imo (too arcade, it was more like Quake with a Star Trek skin, which it technically was I guess). Star Trek Armada was also pretty awesome, but that's even older than Elite Force. Most Star Wars games are either decent or great...Keep forget Star Wars recently had 2 well received games Star Wars: Squadrons and Fallen Order.
Low key they still have comics, light novels, merchandises.
Star Wars franchise is never not in the conversation.
Stargate am dead
It was great while it lasted though. Wish MGM would get off their asses with it and either do something or sell the rights.
While I struggle to say it is amazing, if Star Trek I line was just the space battles I would honestly put it above The Old Republic MMO... Sadly they have that ground combat.Meanwhile Star Trek hasn't had a good game since Star Trek Voyager Elite Force, and that game didn't really feel like Star Trek anyway imo (too arcade, it was more like Quake with a Star Trek skin, which it technically was I guess).

It's been "progressing" for years now, just like the MMO they even featured in the pilot of Universe...look where that went.Development for new Stargate TV series set within the SG-1, Universe canon is 'progressing' News

Yeah but character sucks hard, unfortunately. There are little to no likeable characters on that show and 2+ seasons of Burnham breaking a rule, getting away with it even though she shouldn't, and doing it again interspersed with overwrought dramatic *insert crying scene and monologue every five minutes* nonsense absolutely killed any interest I had.Glad to see people generally like Discovery - I really like that show. And the actor who portrays Burnam is *excellent*.
Hard nope. I like the actress and the character.Yeah but character sucks hard, unfortunately.

I made it to the second episode of season 3 and was like, why am I watching this.
The reason I discussed quality is because I k we the issue of funding and popularity would come up. Star Wars has always been the franchise that has made more money, but I don't really think that amounts to much when it comes to quality.
Nothing against the actress, she does a good job with what she's given. The S3 premiere when she gets drugged is a great example. But the character sucks and there is a chunk of views that are over Disco for that reason (amongst a slew of others).
Star Trek is fantastic. The new shows are great.
Star Wars is just okay imo.
It's interesting to me that people say trek isn't part of popular culture. In my work place alone I know two people with trek tattoos (one of them has a huuuuuge tattoo), there is an old dude that gives me the Vulcan salute every morning after he mentored me and he found out we both like trek and my big boss was talking to me about discovery recently.Glad to see people generally like Discovery - I really like that show.

I think what people mean, or at least when I talk about it, is that Star Trek isn't really a big part of any popular discourse these days. Look at Star Trek threads compared to Star Wars threads or discussion and hype surrounding them on any platform. It's like night and day.It's interesting to me that people say trek isn't part of popular culture.

I get the same kind of contact with Star Wars, but I don't think Trek is some kind of obscure franchise.
Mind you, I think TOS pop culture is VERY overblown... Maybe that's more of an American thing.
