Star Wars is essentially good guys/bad guys space opera. Where the heroes (and galaxy) are saved from catastrophe by the skin of their teeth. Typically through sheer luck and/or wu wu magic. Fun, but not worth watching more than once IMHO. Star Trek is more pure sci-fi. Better in-depth stories dealing with a myriad of questions and topics, as well as more rounded characters. On the downside, it relies too much on “ex deus machina” type episode endings where everything is put right at the end by some scientific fact. Star Wars is cotton candy. Sweet, and simple. Nice summertime treat, but you’ll get a belly ache if you consume too much. Star Trek is like Mac ‘N Cheese. Comfort food for souls hopeful of a better future, even though H. Sapiens haven’t even figured out how not to defecate where they eat.
