the... well star trek vs wars is an old debate at this point, but trek was never gonna be star wars... they’re trying to make them similar now, but the original trek was never about mystical hocus pocus. it was about human values in a rational universe when one is presented with the unknown. it’s for imaginative adults (hence kirk fucks a lot in the early series).

in fact one of the trek movies presents “god” as a monster imprisoned at the center of the universe. whereas star wars is really about... magic, and levitation, and noble bloodlines, etc. they’re really incompatible.

even in proximal thematic areas like the vulcan mind meld (a kind of telepathy) the stuff is presented more as almost a dangerous medical procedure than the stuff of “the force”.

star wars is more for children and it gave them the idea that they could control the physical universe with their sheer willpower. who wouldn’t love that? so the right competition for them is maybe harry potter.

im afraid to rewatch alien 3 now...
