He could never understand {or accept} why I had no clue what the show was going on about, however I did enjoy the Visuals, Uhura in particular....
Star Wars was the same, however, when Closed-Captioning became mainstream, That was the first thing I rented.
I loved the Bar/Promenade scenes of both star trek and star wars, whoopi goldberg was very cool, and actually Got me back into Star Trek...
My obsessions were Vulcan and Changeling, Anything to do with either one in depth had my Undivided Attentions...
Even the Books. 
My mother got me Obsessed with Ewoks though, I've stunned people with Details on Ewok society, Vulcans, Changelings, and sometimes Ferengi...
I wasnt fond of Klingons..
I always felt it was a smack of Racism..
The storyline of Picard as a Borg also annoyed me...
As for "no metachlorians", you're stripping Star Wars of its very essence 
There'd be no "Force", Dark or Jedi
Oh, and Tribbles Rawk !!!!

We did just fine in the first three movies without any metachlorians. The Force was the Force. It had an effect on the weak-minded, those weren't the droids you were searching for and that was that. 
As an aside, because I work around a bunch of geeks there are two phrases from the first movie we use constantly. The ubiquitous 'these aren't the droids you're looking for' and "but I wanted to go to Toschi station and pick up some power converters!" whenever an end-user wants something either ridiculous or technologically impossible.

May the Mass*Acceleration be with you.

The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett)
