FanloreProject Spotlight: Star Trek and Star Wars
When Star Wars was released in 1977, Star Trek fans realised they weren't the only major media fandom in town. Star Wars enticed many fans away from Star Trek, often leading to bad feeling between the two.
Fans tried to analyse the huge and wide-ranging appeal of this new fandom, with some wondering whether Star Wars would be the "death" of Star Trek. Learn more about the clash of these two titans on Fanlore's Star Trek and Star Wars page, and add your own recollections!
