OH I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND, my Trek loyalty always made me avoid Star Wars. I wish I had seen the new movie so I could actually tell you whether or not I think you'd like the various shows-- in my opinion the fan favorites (the Original and the Next Generation) are pretty dated and hardish to get into. Deep Space 9 is generally considered the best-- they go into war themes and have story arcs (which is kind of sadly a big deal on Star Trek-- TNG and Voyager never have arcs). The most recent two are generally considered the worst of Trek, but I'm kind of biased because they (especially Voyager) are the only two I was even invested in. Season 4 of Enterprise (and Manny Coto was trying to ~bring it back to the original series style~), so you miiiiiiight like that? It's just hard to get into because the first two years of the show really are godawful (they changed the creative team up for the other two years). And I think you might have fun with the Bryan Fuller episodes of Voyager (he did two for DS9 also), too, because they are all just SO baby Bryan Fuller-- charming and funny and a lot of time is spent toying with mortality.
