Star Wars vs. Star Trek
In my opinion Star Wars is much more sophisticated and detailed than Star Trek. The more laid back Star Trek fans known as Trekkies will disagree, while the rabid Star Trek group called Trekkers would set their phasers on kill. I intend to discuss the major ideas and technology of Star Wars and Star Trek in this essay. Personally Star Wars is the better concept, millions of other fans that have been touched by the Star Wars myth around the world will agree. Gene Roddenberry created Star Trek as a kind of socialist morality play that hit the airwaves in the late sixties and ran for three years. It was cancelled by Paramount after three years and has been in syndication ever since. Star Trek is a fascist world run by the Federation, no money is needed by the crew, everything is provided.

Thousands of artists and would be filmmakers in out of the way towns with no film production facilities realized that movies could literally be made in their garages. Star Wars was and is powerful because George Lucas pulled all the old myths out of the past and gave them to the world of the late seventies. Star Wars begins with a long time ago in a galaxy far far away... The seventies was the late offspring of the ancient astronauts or we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrials concept. Pyramids and mysterious ruins are all over the Star Wars universe. Luke Skywalker is the main character through who we experience the Star Wars universe. A young man on the verge of becoming a man, who gets involved with a wizard Obi Wan Kenobi, a princess, and even a rogue, smuggler space pirate Han Solo. The fight is a classic rebellion of po
