It’s likely fueled more than a few million heated debates over the years — the epic question: What’s better? Star Trek or Star Wars?

Well, set aside about 12 minutes to watch this breakdown that WatchMojo has posted to YouTube. In a thoughtful battle of the iconic sci-fi series, WatchMojo considers each franchise in five categories: Spaceships, scope of universe, sci-fi themes, special effects, and heroes and villains.

In addition to seeing which epic series takes each category, you might be surprised by the winner. Or not. A debate that will never be settled, the best part of watching this video is seeing all the old cool scenes from both series mashed up into one video.

With almost 2,400 comments already on YouTube, commentor Joe Witlox probably said it best, “What have you unleashed…the nerds are going wild.”

Don’t fret if you like both equally. It’s perfectly fine to feel the force and live long and prosper at the same time.
