TOP TEN REASONS WHY THE STAR WARS CHARACTERS

WOULD KICK BUTT IN THE STAR TREK UNIVERSE

--------------------------------------------

10) In the Star Wars Universe weapons are rarely, if ever, set on "stun".

9) The Enterprise needs a huge engine room with an anti-matter unit and a crew of 20 just to go into warp --- The Millennium Falcon does the same thing with R2-D2 and a Wookie.

8) After resisting the Imperial torture droid and Darth Vader, Princess Leia still looked fresh and desirable --- After pithy Cardassian starvation torture, Picard looked like hell.

7) One word: Lightsabers.

6) Darth Vader could choke the entire Borg empire with one glance.

5) The Death Star doesn't care if a world is class "M" or not.

4) Luke Skywalker is not obsessed with sleeping with every alien he encounters.

3) Jabba the Hutt would eat Harry Mudd for trying to cut in on his action.

2) The Federation would have to attempt to liberate any ship named "Slave I".

1) Picard pilots the Enterprise through asteroid belts at one-quarter impulse power --- Han Solo floors it.

Editor's Note: While I fundamentally disagree with this author's belief system, I've

learned from Star Trek to appreciate Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. Even

if this guy is wrong!
