While Star Trek is firmly rooted in the world of science fiction, Star Wars is a franchise that borrows from numerous different genres and maintains a stronger emphasis on fantasy storytelling.
Despite the fact that Star Wars and Star Trek fans have spent decades debating the merits of each fictional universe, the fact of the matter is that there is no clear cut winner between the two of them; it’s entirely subjective.
Of course, now seems like a suitable time to double down on the fact that there really is no definitive answer to this debate.
Both franchises feature space ships and the word “Star” in their respective titles, but comparing them side by side is an incredibly difficult (and borderline futile) process.
