Epic Musical Battle! Star Trek vs. Star Wars Sheet Music

Posted on Oct 22, 2008 by Monica in Movies

With new TV shows like Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles and Fringe (which just featured Can’t Fight this Feeling by REO Speedwagon in last week’s episode) making their way to your TV set, we can’t help but wonder if science fiction is starting to make a comeback in a big way.

‘Course, when you think about science fiction, there isn’t a more popular argument than the “Which is better? Star Wars or Star Trek?“

On the one hand, you have a science fantasy series replete with the Force and lightsabers. On the other, you have a hard science fiction show with a team that uses fancy technology and their wits to get them out of trouble. As the Star Wars: The Clone Wars cartoon continues to climb in popularity, and the new Star Trek movie release rapidly approaches, it looks like that question will never truly go away. What’s more, is that the official Star Wars site features free episodes of The Clone Wars for you and your kids to watch; and the official Star Trek site offers free remastered episodes of the original Star Trek in HD through CBS.com. Truly, both Star Wars and Star Trek are here to stay for years to come.

Here at Musicnotes.com, the battle between Star Trek versus Star Wars takes place not on our television screens or video game consoles — but on our keyboards. We offer thirty digital sheet music downloads for theme songs from Star Trek that range from TV shows like Star Trek: Voyager to the feature length Star Trek films. For Star Wars sheet music, we offer over a hundred sheet music downloads from the new movies to the old, with easy piano scoring to full orchestra arrangements.

When we look at which set of theme songs are more popular, it looks as though Star Wars is currently winning the fight with the sheet music for the theme song from Star Wars. When next year’s Star Trek movie comes out on the scene, will the sheet music for Star Trek’s theme song win the next battle? Only time will tell, but for now — Star Wars wins this round. Who do you think will win the war? Which theme song do you like better?

UPDATE: Just this morning we found out that Lucasarts and Bioware just announced the release of a new MMORPG called Star Wars: The Old Republic. Guess the battle is definitely going to continue…
