Lol, after attending a few fan fests from both titles, I can say we may be talking about 'gradients' of geekiness. I think Star Trek attracts the tech-science geeks, while Star Wars attracts the more fantasy type geeks.
Ico Oh, cruel fate, to be thusly boned. Ask not for whom the bone bones. It bones for thee.
I get the feeling Star Trek fans are generally more intelligent and might actually have a life. Give the nerds waiting in line at a Star Wars opening an IQ test and the ones at a Star Trek opening and I'd bet on the Trek'ers. It's probably because the Star Trek fans I think are a bit older and not as many young wierdos are into Star Trek like the Star Wars kids.
Nerd wise, both are equal.
(Note: This is just as an average, I know most of you MMORPG.com members/Star Wars fans are exceptions!)
Well, also have to consider Star Wars fans are much more mainstream these days... you take a Trekkie and they're generally much older nowadays. There hasn't been much in the way of Star Trek for a while, and I don't think Voyager fans are considered "true" Trekkies Enterprise never really took off.
Originally posted by wolph I like them both, does that make me an uber geek?
Yes.
Well see, there is a difference between actual Star Wars fans and then the people who pretend to get it. So many people like Star Wars, that I know alot of people who try and be cool by liking it:). Actual fans though, I still think they are less nerdy. Only good guys like Star Trek, but alot of the Star Wars fans are fans of the Dark Side, which inherently makes them cooler.
*Shrug*, and I can talk to girls about Star Wars and still get some [very easily] (and sometimes theyll say things like oh ewoks are cool even though they really dont get it)... but if I said Star Trek holy crud. Even I'd have a hard time getting some after having mentioned Star Trek being cool.
I think the biggest geeks are the people who aren't fans of anything in particular. People who obsess about working out are just as nerdy as people dressed up as Darth Vader. Who's the real loser, someone who is a Trekky or a crackhead? I think when people are into something like a movie or sci-fi, its kewl. But the kid standing on the corner selling weed with the baggy pants and baseball hat turned sideways is kewler somehow than a girl dressed up as princess leia? Some coke dealer driving his Escalade or Hummer paid for with murder money is kewl and a Guy dressed up as Spock is lame? I think trekkies and star wars fans are kewl. Gangsta wannabees, girls and guys who obsess about their looks, fashion and hairstyles and workout monkeys are the Nerdballs in my sainted opinion
I agree with the term of SW fans being more fantasy and trekkies being more tech.

Star Trek fans are undoubtedly geekier than Star Wars fans. I've never been a fan of either, but I do like Star Wars more than Star Trek. I've seen a convention for both and I got to say Trekkies are way geekier. I mean come on anybody that likes to see space men walk around in tights is .
Both groups have thier hard core fans and then there are the casual fans. I know both types and they have there moments LOL. I guess it depends on the person and the situation. I have seen both Trekkers and Star wars fans dress up for a movie, I know both that buy toys and replica equiptment, etc... My friend spent $150 on a Light Saber (Master Replica ).

I never got into either...I"m pretty sure it's both coming from an innocent bystandard that isn't on any one side you should see yourselves on opening night, I mean..>DAMN!
You think opening night for Star Wars is bad? You should see this guy... he's got 7000 posts on a gaming forum! I mean, damn! Oh wait... ... Heh, just playing around, no direct attacks or anything But back on topic, I think Star Trek fans are MUCH geekier. Star Wars fans could care more about storyline than how many fluxtator ion dual razor cannon engines on the Enterprise (I pulled that entire statement out of my ass). Star Wars fans would be more likely to know the first Sith Lord, more politics and fantasy based about their world, where as Star Trek fans care about ships and engines and such.

StarWars fans I think are classified the cool kids (guys) and the Startek fans.. Different

Star Wars Fan- Makes constume. Buys action figures. Attends conventions
Star Trek Fan- Learns alien languages. Buys multiple Spock costumes. Attends conventions. Plants homemade thermite on Star Wares fans' cars.
You decide!

Easily the star trek fans because there are tons and tons of star wars fans, but your geeky star trek obsessed people only come once in a while.
