If you only focus on the streaming era of both Trek and Wars, I'd give it to Trek.
You ever think about just how handily Star Trek has won the Star Wars/Star Trek war? Turns out making a lot of good content is really hard!

My Star Wars ranking if anyone cares

This is about the average consensus among most people when asked for a ranking
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

I've said it a million times and I'll say it a million more:

These people don't want stories, they want Wookiepedia articles on screen.

But they don't understand that would be awful.

Safe to say it's the same on other social media sites as well.

This is why you don't engage, just block and move on.

I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.

Yes, stole it.

I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to, Charlie Brown.
what’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet

so Charlie Brown would, were he not Charlie Brown call’d, retain that dear perfection which he owes without that title
Squint into the grandeur, Charlie Brown.

Ahsoka episode 4 is mostly action and it's good even if I think Rosario still doesn't quite match Ahsokas fighting style

This episode had me wishing they had included Marrok in Morgan's Tales episodes so we could see how she put him under her thrall, and we could see a connection to Thrawn's troops
Third episode of Ahsoka is the best so far. Rosario Dawson finally starts to feel like the Ahsoka we know. Sabine's training (or is it retraining?) on being a Jedi, and a very good starfighter action scene.

But the true standout moment is Hera and the Senators, "Did you serve in the war?" A+ there
Episode 2 of the Sabine show and I really wish that Filoni had taken more of Lucas's "Faster, more intense" to heart. So many shots and scenes just feel like they are dragging or we are trying to add super deep emotional weight to what is in actuality a very minor character moment.

Tonight's holiday movie is Elf, and I realized one question the movie never addresses: What is Buddy's real name? Obviously when he was born, he had a birth certificate with something on it.

Fired from two crappy retail jobs, quit a third even crappier retail job, and then applied to a temp agency to try for an office job.

Chronological rewatch brings us to Ahsoka. I've honestly been dreading this because I had such a dislike of the show on first viewing, but I'm trying to go into these with an open mind

While the cast is great it's also immediately noticeable which voice actors got to come back and which didn't
