Notice how Star Wars receives so many votes, yet most people would agree that half of the movies for it are bad. Namely, the prequel series.
This is largely just a bandwagon issue that rose up in the early months after Episode 1 came out because of several factors, one of which being the fact that the movie hardly ever has Darth Maul in it, even though it's named "The Phantom Menace" (logic thrown out the window, much). Others include general issues that people unfairly place on Episodes 2 and 3, but should be applied to Episode 1.

Oh also people who have never watched any of star trek

Lol just cause half the movies are bad doesn't mean anything, a lotta people like the comics, books and television series that Star Wars has created.
-
My point exactly - people talk shit about the movies, yet the EU is really good.
-
Yeah, even the new marvel Star Wars comics and books are pretty good...fück Disney though for -blam!-ing the EU
-
That move literally ended my interest in Star Wars, and I've pretty much thrown my lot over into 40k. All these books, games and graphic novels, and it's all non-canon. Bane. Vitiate. Marka Rag. Even Revan to a certain extent.

Yeah I know what you mean, so much of my childhood seems like a waste now, but idk I got over it.

Edited by Overlord2009: 9/19/2015 5:52:47 PMThe Phantom Menace was actually Palpatine, missing out on a potentially cool villain as Maul irritated people in itself. And no, Episode 2 is worse than the first in just about every way, it probably deserves worse than it gets. And 3 though the best of the prequels, still isn't very good, and fails on many basic levels.

Edited by ClusiveC: 9/19/2015 6:19:20 PMAll of that is subjective and goes against the widely accepted view except for the case about the Phantom Menace. Even if all of that were true, it just further proves my original point.

Well people are voting to say they love the Star Wars universe, not that they think each and every film is stellar

Edited by ClusiveC: 9/19/2015 6:32:43 PMThat's what I was trying to point out. I don't know how we got into this tangent but my bad for any misleading statements.
-
Because the question is about which universe is the best and even if some of the movies are shitty, Star Wars has an epic universe and lore.
-
That's debatable since Disney has ruled majority of the universe as 'Legends' and therefore roughly equivalent to fanfiction. That's why I restricted it to the movies
