Monte wanted Star Wars.  I wanted Star Trek.  At least you eventually got your game, Monte!  (Yeah, yeah, there were Star Trek RPG's, I know).  That said, I loved Traveller and still do.  I was never a big fan of their mechanics or of the community of gearheads that wanted incredibly complex rules for designing a starship (I'm looking at you, Fire, Fusion and Steel!), but I loved playing Traveller second only to D&D. 

Ironically, the best of the RPG's based on one of the Star franchises was "Stargate SG-1".


Comic Book Guy: Richard Dean Anderson, of the four "Star" franchises: Wars, Trek, Gate, and Search, "Gate" is easily in my top three!
Richard Dean Anderson: I get that a lot
