The star wars equivalent of this is dropping a tactical nuke with the question of modern or old lore and then asking for their favorite era.

I have a Space Invaders shirt with warbirds and the Enterprise as your ship at the bottom. Sadly no one has recognized it as trek yet

Try breaking into O’Neill’s room and you’ll meet one then the other

On Kirk’s ship that means you die on an away mission. On Picard’s it means you give a Borg cube the middle finger while charging straight at it and somehow survive

Absolutely nothing!

(Thank you for setting up the line!)

Yeah, it'd have to be a specific piece of Star Wars media the shirt referenced to compete for me. Like KOTOR or Andor.

This but unironically.

It's a series famous for killing subtlety in cinema and you STILL DON'T GET IT REEEE

Now I'm trying to think of what I'm forgetting about trekkie gear from those books. All that comes immediately to mind is the Bob that names himself after Riker, but that's less gear and more a virtual persona or something.

Oh man, there were a pair of middle-aged guys at the table behind me at a restaurant recently, and I SO BADLY wanted to join their conversation! Favorite Romulan ship class, U.S.S. Pegasus: treaty violation or necessary development?, Best DS9 episodes... they were my kind of people.

That's my point, if a red shirt walks behind you then you are between a disruptor and its target

The shots just go around you.

the later books has a group of bobs that call themselves starfleet that becomes an important plot point

That's fucking amazing. I love it. I want games like that for real now (they say, knowing full well that historically games made from movie and TV IP have been largely awful, alas):

• Asteroids, but with Star Wars ships.
• Galaga, but you fly voyager through Borg space, trans warp conduits, etc. Occasionally you pick up a clone or alternate timeline Voyager to fight along side you.
• Space invaders I think would also be a good with a Starship Troopers skin and bugs lobbing rocks at your bases, could also be good in the style of Scorched Earth (or Worms Armageddon).
• An Apple II style text only adventure game in Deep Space Nine.
• A farming/trading/city sim on Babylon 5.
• Civilization, but it's Babylon 5, Star Trek, or Star Wars, Dune, etc.
• Old school 2.5D Zelda adventure game, but it's Firefly or The Expanse.
• A Mario Bros. game but it's Farscape.
• Mario kart, also Farscape.
• Leisure Suit Larry in the style of Lexx.

It’s not fair! How can you be on the Poll and not be a Master?

I have absolutely randomly jumped into a conversation like that before 🤣

Nice. I have one with a pic of the Enterprise and "Star Wars #1 Fan"

Similarly, this is my only franchise shirt.

Nah, plenty of geeky online stores in all places around the world.

But they do tend to have a limited selection of Star Trek shirts compared to Star Wars.

I would play all of these.

I would have at least tried, but I was with my family and didn't want to abandon them.

In SW the Empire are the bad guys, in ST the empire are the good guys.

I'm unaware of any star wars fan that would say new. Especially if you count episode 1 as new

I know plenty of folks who love the old clone wars multi media project from back in the 00s. When I say new I mean Disney specifically maybe including the 08 clone wars cartoon.
