I might regret this question!
I always preferred Star Trek over Star Wars. Trek seemed to be based on technological solutions whereas Star Wars seemed to rely "the force."
I know, I know, warp drive and the force don't exist. The difference is, one day, faster than light will.
Between Star Trek and Mission Impossible (Barney rocked it!) my desire to learn about technology resulted in my becoming an Army radio operator / repairman, an Air Force electronic repair tech, and lastly running an AF electronic warfare shop.
