50 Reasons why Star Wars is Better than Star Trek

 15. Transport Ships vs Transporter

Question: Would you rather have your DNA switched and swapped with your crew, scattered out into the void of who knows where? Or, would you rather take a safe ride to and from your destination? While on the surface, the Trek Transporter seems cool as heck, there are just too many unknowns involved for me to feel safe taking that form of transportation.

While on the other hand, what better way to arrive in style, that in an Imperial Shuttle? Imagine catching a ride up to the Death Star on the last shuttle out. You land, and all the sudden the Imperial March sounds, and Darth Vader is waiting on you…could it be? Nope, the Emperor is aboard the shuttle and you just got Force choked for stowing away. But hey, it was fun while it lasted right?

Winner: Transport Ships. In all seriousness, give me the relative safety of a starship, over the molecule scattering transporter, any day.
