To get into the nuances of either series would take forever, but the concept of compairing these two is silly. First of all, any preferece would be a matter of opinion. If you like big explosions and an almost western style of Good vs. Evil, you would tend toward Star Wars. If you like a more technical delivery of tougher moral choices, Star Trek is your game. Compairing them because they both have "star" in title is ridiculous at best, as they are in very different sub-genres. It would be like "Star Man" vs. "Star Search".
Star Wars is a space opera, and is comperable to Dune or Battlestar Galactica, two sources Lucas has admitted to drawing heavily from. Star Trek falls into a military sci-fi, and is best compaired to Babylon 5 or Andromeda. A clear case of apples and oranges, it makes as much sense as compairing "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" with "Moulin Rouge".
In short, get a life.
These 2 Sci-Fi's were made for people to enjoy, If you watch this DVD through, you will not see anything about VS. It is just a plain documentary talking abouy STAR TREK, & star wars, They are not trying to make you like one over the other, There is an equal amout of insults for both franchises,
star wars actually deserves all the insults you can stuff into it, however STAR TREK does not deserve any of the insults that were in this documentary,
STAR TREK needs to be complimented for it's brilliance & how NO OTHER Sci-Fi's in the world have even come close to being better, (with the exeption of the Matrix, "maybe")
& star wars needs to be hit over the head for it's stupidness & how most other Sci-Fi's are better, If you've seen every Sci-Fi in the world, before 1977, you can probly put together the ENTIRE star wars SERIES with just the clips from the previous Sci-Fi's,
If this DVD was really supposed to be a battle between the 2 Sci-Fi's, They should probly note, that most star wars Fan Sites on the Web, nearly always make fun of STAR TREK, & STAR TREK fan sites, never make fun of star wars, (strange!!!)
It's funny how alot of people think star wars is better than STAR TREK, & then when they start comparing them to other Sci-Fi's,
star wars is always compared to the Bad Sci-Fi's & STAR TREK is always compared to the Good Sci-Fi's, Like
star wars compare it to Starship Troopers & Battlestar Galactica,
(2 really, really bad Sci-Fi's)
STAR TREK, compare it to the Aliens movies, & the Matrix
(2 really, really Good Sci-Fi's)
How do people think STAR TREK is so bad when people think they're so simmilar to the ones on the list above,
How do people think star wars is so good when people think they're so simmilar to the ones on the list above,
But me, I think STAR TREK will always be better than star wars,
But why compare them with each other, They have nothing in common,
THE GOOD: This source material for this documentary is culled from numerous rarely seen interviews with the actors, writers and directors of these two monumental sci-fi franchises. The thirty some plus minutes of interviews with the actors is enough to justify the cost to some hardcore fans. Additionally, this documentary capsulates the subject matter well enough to provide a good overview of important events in the development of both franchises. This is the kind of information that a parent or spouse of a hardcore Trek or Wars fan can benefit from, if not to better understand that fan's love for the franchise, to at least to better identify the important players and events.
THE BAD: This documentary appears to be one in a series of low-budget documentaries chronicling Hollywood rivalries, real and imagined. The subject matter does not lend itself to good objective documentary production, and is best served by fan-filmmakers. This creators of this documentary lack the love and deep understanding of the subject matter that are apparent in fan-made documentaries such as Starwoids. Additionally, the documentary suffers from an untenable premise. There is no real rivalry here either among the creative talents or among the fans, and what the documentary misses by focusing on this false dichotomy is the real story - the unique visions of Lucas and Roddenberry.
THE UGLY: The production quality of this film rivals the worst of public access. This documentary was not approved by LucasFilms, 20th Century Fox, or Paramount, and this lack of endorsement coupled with a thread-bare budget is telling. Most of the source material is culled from the public domain. The scenes from the copyrighted films and television series look almost like they were captured with a video camera of a television or film screen - and in atleast one case this is true. What little original material was gathered is laughably bad - look for the attempted interview of Lucas when he begins to approach the crew for an interview and then realizes that they aren't with a major media organization and then walks away.
FINAL ANALYSIS: If you're a hardcore fan, pick this DVD up for the obscure source material and the unintended laughs. If you're the parent or spouse of a hardcore fan and you're looking for a cliff notes to Star Wars or Star Trek, pick this up too. If you fall into neither of these categories, don't waste your money on this.

Like you, I am frequently haunted by profound questions related to man's
place in the Scheme of Things. Here are just a few:
Q -- Is there life after death?
A -- Definitely. I speak from personal experience here. On New
Year's Eve, 1970, I drank a full pitcher of a drink called "Black Russian",
then crawled out on the lawn and died within a matter of minutes, which was
fine with me because I had come to realize that if I had lived I would have
spent the rest of my life in the grip of the most excruciatingly painful
headache. Thanks to the miracle of modern orange juice, I was brought back
to life several days later, but in the interim I was definitely dead. I
guess my main impression of the afterlife is that it isn't so bad as long
as you keep the television turned down and don't try to eat any solid foods.
