everything about the two is different other than they travel in outer space.

I think the most important similarity between the two, the primary reason that they are so often compared and pitted against one another, is that they both have two-word titles beginning with the word "Star". ;D I'm sort of serious.
By the way, I think that Howard is right about Star Wars being fantasy rather than Science Fiction, but not according to Orson Scott Card's succinct definition:
“Science Fiction has rivets, fantasy has trees.”

Wow, I thought I liked both, after all I had both the Millenium Falcon as well as the Enterprise transporter and bridge to play with when I was a kid. But now after reading your post I realize that you think I hate Star Trek. My “corrections” to your post:
Star Wars:
Great Films: 2 (With “Empire” being one of the best films ever)
Good Films: 1
Awful Films: 3
Franchise embarrassments: The holiday special, all the ewok films, all the cartoons ect... (Holiday special is pretty awful, But I think there is actually more franchise awesomeness… Jedi was decent, as are the Clone Wars toons, Star Wars Galaxies MMORPG was awesome until it wasn’t, lots of other really really good arcade and console games, all the Star Wars toys and McDonalds promotions and stuff… Legos!!)
Good Tv shows: Clone Wars
Awful Tv shows: 0
Prominent hot chicks: 2 (Is this an important stat for some people?)
Star Trek:
Great Films: 0
Good Films: 8 (8? How many friggin Trek films were there? There was the slow/boring first one my Mom liked, then where Spock died and the other one with the whales that I liked…)
Awful Films: 3 (I have no idea, way more Trek films than I ever imagined. The new one was good though, really good. Sorry you disliked)
Franchise embarrassments: The latest film. (Disagree! Did they ever have any good video games like SW? No clue…)
Good Tv Shows: 6 (6? How many friggin Trek shows where there? There was the good first one, then the Next Generation one with that Professor X guy, and the one with the girl captain… and the one with that Quantum Leap guy… Wow, I actually know of 4…)
Awful Tv Shows: 0
Prominent hot chicks: 14 (Seriously, you counted up all the hot Trek chicks? Uhura and the blonde nurse from the original were great, I know everyone really liked that Borg chick… But is this really important?)
I stand by liking both, but there is just way too much of both for the normal person to follow. I like the Star Wars films, but could never hope to keep up with all the other books/comics/media. I like the early and latest Trek stuff, but way too much in the middle apparently. Star Wars had way better toys though, and are still popular with kids over 30 years later, so that should be a factor too, no?
George Takai rocks. Find/play the Sulu song from Howard Stern. Suuluuuu!!!
Oh, and Twilight sucks. Seriously, they sparkle? :P

Oh, and relax guys, Twilight...It's only a trend. Wimmin-folk are fickle, you don't see 'Titanic' stuff being crammed in our faces daily anymore. It will be forgotten. If the series had attracted a guy or two, then it might be here to stay. That is why we will be seeing Harry Potter stuff for years to come.

Another important distinction is that the Harry Potter books and some of the movies were pretty good. Twilight is retarded.
