      Each of these series has parts that look like the Star Wars head. The Matrix probably is the most egregious. What else is good other than the first movie?

      Pffft, star trek is just as bad as star wars. Somehow people conveniently ignore everything with vulcans. Mind melds, horny/kill/die mode…

      Where’s that space opera switch meme? Trek is great, but it’s science fiction in the same ‘setting only’ way that star wars is.

        it’s science fiction in the same ‘setting only’ way that star wars is.

        it tries to tie the progresses in science and techology to make a statement about humanity.

        I don’t think star wars says that except for “what if there was a gun so big you could shoot a planet?”

        Star Trek and Star Wars are fundamentally different in their worldbuilding, storytelling and overall narrative direction, the only thing they share are spaceships and spacewar.

        Maybe try watching some of the more famous Star Trek episodes and try analyzing the plot and events with a more critical eye, you will find entire interesting conversations, ethical dilemmas and perspectives you never considered unfold from doing this with the best of Star Trek.

        Star Wars? This is far less commonly a fruitful endeavor to undertake (with the glorious exception being Andor of course).
