Star Wars obviously. The conclusion based on the following facts that I will mention bellow:
I: Star Wars had, and still has better special effects than Star Trek. Star Wars from the 1975 had awesome special effects for it's time. Star Trek on the other hand had awful special effects at it's old years, especially Star Trek 1 and the TV series. So Star Trek's effects are overshadowed by Star Wars now and before.
II: The characters. Anyhow you look at it, Star Wars has epic characters like Admiral Akbar, Luke, Yoda, Obi One Kenobi and of course Darth Veider. On the other hand Star Trek has Picard, Captain Kirk etc. They are good of course, but once compared, Star Wars is the victor.
III: Lightsabers.
IV: The backstory and main Lore of Star Wars is jist epic, and Star Wars has obviously more action and drama into it.
V: The series themselves. Star Wars has the movies, TV series, videogames, online games, animated series, comics snd books. All of them are perfect and epic, mostly at least, because admit it, it has a few shity ones, same and Trek. But Star Wars is victorious at this category too, compared to Star Trek. Heck, even Disney aka the movie Behemoth bought Lucasfilms and Star Wars.
So, from my point of view, even if Star Trek is very good and genius series, Star Wars comes on top, with its features and the series itself.

I say that Star Wars has many good and inspirational ideologies and themes, but Star Trek has more relatable stories with more understandable values. On one hand, Star Wars has deep lore with many legends, and Star Trek doesn't have as many legends. They both have games for the fandoms, but Star Wars has more (Star Wars Battlefront 1&2, Star Wars Battlefront original, Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic, etc). Star Trek has more widely known languages in the fandom, which is always good for getting along with and identifying fellow fans at places like Armageddon and Comic-Con. Star Wars has languages as well, but they are not as widely known and many of the languages don't have a definitive actual language - people can say that they speak the language of Mando'a ( also known as Mandolore) but there may be other dialects and ideas as to what the language actually is. 

 

My personal preference is Star Wars, but from a technical point of view they are both very good. It entirely depends on your opinion and which points relate to you the most. If you prefer rich lore, maybe Star Wars is a good thing to look into. If you prefer languages and real-life things to connect you with the world, Star Trek does that very well. 

 

Star Wars and Star Trek are both very good and I really enjoy them both. I find it difficult to pick and choose my favourites, but if you can define your favourite aspects of both then it becomes easier to understand and decide.
