Fans have fought over which sci-fi series reigns supreme, but this Star Wars vs. Star Trek infographic attempts to see which geeky obsession is better technologically speaking. In both of the futuristic series, technology has played such a vital role. The infographic compares what franchise had better personal weapons, vehicles, starships and weapons of mass destruction.
According to this comparison, the winner seems to be George Lucas with his Star Wars series (dominating in every category except for weapons of mass destruction). It's an unsatisfactory result for Kirk and Spock fans, however, I'm sure the debate will continue to rage on.
