By successful I mean which franchise has the largest fan base and earns the most money? The Star Trek franchise has existed for over 50 years, and Star Wars has been around for over 40 years. Each franchise has made movies and series spin-offs. All that being considered, which franchise do you think is the most successful?
 
i would say that star wars is more successful because it has the ability to cater to a wider range of demographics....children for instance.

Star trek is more adults while star wars is more for "family". That in itself contributes to more revenue.

I think you got it EXACTLY

We should NEVER ignore what the Disney connection did not only to the movies but more importantly marketing promotion

Toys clothes games books etc...

Every member of my family from the baby to the grandmoms own SOMETHING star wars related

fan or not

SPECIFICALLY because of the Disney influence.

Its a wrap.

That being said?

Star Trek fans are loyal as f*ck

to the grave.

But just think about this

who had a bigger cultural impact this past year?

Star trek series on cbs access

Or

Mandalorian on disney+?

I don't think it's even close, Star Wars! I'm pretty sure their movies have made more money but the merchandising lead is more bigger. Look at how many Star Wars books there are. All the cartoons. All the toys. Disney just opened up a new park for Star Wars. Star Wars is much bigger.
 
Star wars is like a huge event that comes once a yr and generates a shitload of money when it does than you get to take a vacation the rest of the yr... Star trek is like the small lounge that has to be open yr round to make a decent revenue... Star wars for the win
 
Star Wars.

Besides the movies they have the merchandise.

They have the toys with Kenner. They got the LEGO sets that can go for close to $1000 brand new when released. They got the fast food childrens meal stuff, convience store merchandise like specialty cups.

They got clothing you get at Walmart and Target. They got their branding on certain foods at the grocery store like breakfast cereals, cookies and chips.

I believe in the past they had their brand on limited edition automobiles.

Star Trek does not come close to any of that. The only time you see Star Trek stuff is when a new movie comes out. You see Star Wars stuff everyday regardless if a movie is out or not.
 
Star Wars makes more money. It doesn't force you to think which makes it more accessible and therefore more popular. It only uses science as a means to blow people up or move them from point A to point B.

Star Trek (until recently) uses actual scientific terms and concepts in discussions while forcing you to think about ethics and morality. This will always cater to a smaller audience.
 
Star Trek Fan - from beginning to end - favorite Trek is Deep Space Nine though I still hold a place in my heart for The Original Series - growing up watching it on Channel 11 WPIX over and over again -

Saw Star Wars in 1977 - been a fan ever since - first convention I ever went to was a Star Trek Convention that later became Comic Book conventions as Star Wars began to take over

I would argue you have to wilfully shut off your brain to enjoy star wars. Every single one of them. That shit is bad writing down to the most iconic parts.

I enjoy the scientific aspects of Star Trek, but I've never been a fan of Star Wars... HOWEVER, after viewing Section 31, I felt quite let down.
