Shocker
Careful, every time someone mentions star Wars being stuck on the same 20 years, paramount reboots Kirk’s timeline.
reboots Kirk’s timeline.
Didn’t we all agree that those reboots, to include the kelvin timeline, are just Paramount’s fanfiction with a high budget?
I mean… you can argue that twice but one of them is an alternate dimension and the other is a prequel. How many Star Wars series have been set between the PT and OT eras, respectively, exactly? Skeleton Crew, Ahsoka, Andor, Kenobi, Mando, Book of Boba, Bad Batch, Resistance, Rebels, Clone Wars… Two or three shows during the High Republic/Old Republic era. They’re outright allergic to any other timeframe.
Skeleton crew, Mando, Boba, Ahsoka, and iirc Resistance are all set between OT and ST. Not disagreeing with your overall point, just that you have these in the wrong part of the cannon timeline for SW.
Sorry I was unclear on my wording. Totally on me. When I meant between I didn’t mean specifically took place in the time frame between those eras. I meant it in like a “Between Jim and Terry, they have 4 apples” type way.
Edit: Looking at my original message, I straight up said set between. Well I done goofed. My apologies. I definitely made that as unclear as humanly possible.
I still dont get why Star Wars is compared to Star Trek, its space themed fanatsy vs scifi and tbh I prefer scifi :3
Yeah, it’s weird. Compare Star Wars to Lord of the Rings? Of course. Compare Star Trek to Doctor Who? I can see it. Compare Star Wars to Star Trek? Makes no sense to me.
Star Trek and Docter are very comparable, granted different premises and stories but still comparable . Also Star Wars and LODR are extremely comparable both in how they present alien races (as more fantasy) and how they present their political systems respectively.
Star Wars isn’t really SciFi. It’s just Wizards In Space. The Sci-Fi is never really the thrust of the story, it’s just the backdrop.
Thats my point, its all just fantasy. The “force” is a fancy way of saying magic, lightsabers are powered by a magic crystal and arent consistant, blasters have infinite ammo and are powered by magic, all the technology is seemingly powered by magic. Meanwhile the alien races are clearly fantasy inspired, there are magic space ghosts, and a religon that doesnt make any sense (it both has no rules whatsover and somehow follows a vague system of “be good and do good”).
Star Wars is fantasy set in space. Star Trek is science fiction.
Star Wars is, in my opinion, more fun to watch. But I enjoy thinking about the concepts presented in Star Trek more.
Tbh Star Trek also has a fair share of inconsistencies and flawless characters. But any argument about which is “better” is pointless.
There are no bigger haters of Star Wars then those who claim to be Star Wars fans.
