Who would have thought Star Trek would outlive Star Wars?

Last Trek: May 13

Last Star Wars: May 19

Good Point, but also, the original poster missed the whole quality of life argument.

Star Wars may have been hospitalized with acute hepatitis around the time Episode I was released (introducing the world to Jar Jar), and before that it may have spent years locked in its apartment only coming out to buy bottles of MD20/20 and packs of generic cigrattes, or to release video games and special edition video releases, but it seems to have been somewhat in recovery since then.

...but Star Trek has been living on a feeding tube in a persistive vegatative state for years, complete with groups of Trekkies standing outside the hospital protesting the removal of the tube and networks wanting to get the tube out for financial reasons. (There was hope that it could partially recover, with intensive therapy, before Nemisis and Enterprise, but afterwards, it was clear this was reflex and not a sign of concious brain activity).
