Star Wars vs Star Trek in 5 minutes

You just can't compare the two in my opinion.....
First off, and leaving the books of both sides out for the purposes of this, there have been 5 Star Wars movies so far vs 10 Trek Movies and 5 Trek series (6 if you count the animated series).
As a result we've seen FAR more of the technology in Trek, especially as many episodes are Techno-babble/technology heavy and often an integral part of whatever the plot of the show is, and also the writers make an effort to explain the science behind the technology as well.
Star Wars has never been about the technology - it's just something that's "there" - and as such everything I've seen about capabilities is pure fan conjecture. In other words, the effects guys working on Wars just "make it up as they go", adding lasers or whatever as necessary to meet the plot requirement, whereas at least in Trek there's an attempt at consistentcy by the producers/effects houses (we'll leave Enterprise outta this for a minute
)
So therefore in my opinion - even though both are complete fiction in the end - the "arguments" comes down to Trek having established and consistent technology grounded in real-world capabilities (mostly), and Wars having technology and capabilities that is almost totally made up on the spot for the particular requirement.
On that basis then, Trek is by far the more superior.
Hmm..reading back through this it's not the clearest thing I've ever written but hopefully you guys get the idea..... 0 -
