[100 Things] My DVD Collection: Star Wars and Star Trek

 

When I started getting into sci-fi, I realised I was missing two of the biggest franchises from my collection. There is sooo much Trek out there, I decided it was easier to start with Star Wars, and I was very glad I did!

The original trilogy, following the journey of Luke Skywalker for three movies, is one of the most awesome sets of movies I have ever seen. Han Solo is so cool, I can hardly explain, Princess Leia kicks ass, and with Chewbacca, R2-D2, and C3PO to make up the crew, there is no bad.

On the other hand (hopefully the one Darth Vader cut off for Luke!) we have the prequel trilogy - I know Anakin becomes Darth Vader, so what is the point? And the characters mostly sucked. I only liked young Obi-Wan, and thats mostly because Ewan McGregor is cool.

As for Star Trek, the newest reboot movie is the only version I've seen. I like it, I do, but it doesn't exactly thrill me the way Star Wars does.

In the great battle between the two - I'm a Jedi, people, not at all a Trekkie. Deal with it ;)

The "Extra Info on a Fanfic" Meme

Meme spotted on various journals... thought I'd post it, just in case anybody had any questions or just general wonderings...

Give me a link to one of my fics, and I'll give you three details that didn't make it into the fic. Background canon, deleted scenes, or a look into the future. My choice, but if you have a specific question you can ask it in your request.
