Which leads to the most brutal domestic murder in history. And that leads to the longest murder trial in history. And the verdict leads to the biggest riots in American history. Which leads to nationwide martial law being declared. Which leads to the loss of all freedom. And that leads to a revolution that leaves the country without an organized government. And that leads to unsupervised nuclear weapons. Which, of course, leads to worldwide destruction.

And that's why you should never use this joke.

Actually, both stories have merit.

Star Wars is a classic story of a small group of people fighting for freedom against a tyrannical government on the outside with the story of a son redeeming his father on the inside. Pure storytelling doesn't get much better.

Star Trek is the vision of what the future of our own race might be. Humans traveling the stars exploring the wonders of the galaxy and being a voice of peace instead of the mongrel of war-hungry nations that we are today. There isn't a better vision of what might realistically be possible for our species.

Both series of movies and TV shows also have their downsides, which I don't need to mention because we all know what they are. (prequel triology, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Enterprise)
