Star Wars VS. Star Trek It has long been debated by nerds worldwide: Star Wars or Star Trek, which one is superior. In this paper we take a look at the two universes so you can decide which is the greatest in history of the world. The three points discussed: 1) Geopolitical a combination of political, historical, racial; 2) Military tactics found in the two universes; and 3) religion and philosophy of each. In the Star Trek Universe the Federation was founded by the following four races Humans, Vulcans, Tellarites, and Andorians. Today the Federation is an interstellar alliance of more than 150 planetary governments, spread out over 8,000 light-years. Members of the Federation are united in various endeavors involving trade, exploration, science and defense. The Federation is overseen by the Federation Council, which is comprised of representatives from member planets. So you could say their equal opportunity program must never get a complaint. However, in the universe of Star Wars the Empire is ruled and dominated by humans. All other races are either looked down upon or enslaved by the Empire. The two universes of Star Trek and Star Wars are black and white from one another when it comes to its geopolitical structure. One universe is for all races while the other is pro human. Warfare in both universes revolves around space naval warfare. For Star Trek you have ship of the line battles, which are classic fleet battles where ships close range and fire upon one another all the while trying to maneuver as to bring their superior fire power to bear. Examples of these types of battles can be observed in the movies Wrath of Khan and the Star Trek Reboot. In Star Wars their fleet tactics that are dominated by carrier battler like the Battle of Yavin in New Hope when they attack the Death Star with an independent fighter strike. Their tactics revolve around the ability to overwhelm their opponent’s defenses with lots of fighters. Religion: for Star

    As with Joseph Campbell, the monomyth pattern is seen in many movies and books. Stories in which the protagonist goes through struggles that are often unfair, but through hard work and faith they prevail and come out on top. They get knocked down, but they get back up. Three stories that repear this plot are Homer’s Oddyssey, Rocky, and Starwars. In Odyssey, Oddyseus is a leader of a tough war against the Trojans, where he comes out victorious. On his travels home he encounters countless obstacles that he uses wit and faith in his gods to overcome. He ends up happily reunited with his family and lives happily ever after.

    As the fluorescent lights dim, a tense hush swallows the audience. Yet as the room itself darkens, the vast movie screen brightens in contrast, and the peal of a single trumpet heralds a familiar tune. "It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory," the screen announces. Fans' eyes dart to read this opening of Star Wars: A New Hope, now a pinnacle in the domain of science fiction. Millions applaud its classical texture: the slight taste of fairy tale archetypes that appeals to a variety of audiences. These same paradigms also complement an underlying theme of the trilogy. Within Star Wars: A New Hope and Return of the Jedi, archetypes exist that exemplify the theme that good can triumph over evil through perseverance.…

    Star Wars vs Star Trek is a rivalry that has been going on since 1977 when Star Wars released A New Hope in theaters. Although Trekkies seem to believe that Star Trek is better than Star Wars, they would be wrong. Star Wars The Force Awakens broke the box office record and has a net worth of $1.783 billion, while Star Trek’s highest net worth is only $282 million. Darth Vader is the greatest cinematic villain of all time, bar none. Star Trek's Khan was, in all fairness, one of the best as well. But a plastic-chested, Shakespeare-quoting Ricardo Montalban or venom-spewing Benedict Cumberbatch can't hold a lightsaber to Vader. Star Wars also has better weapons, Star Wars’ lightsaber, a pulsating beam of light that is a sword that slices through…

    The universal themes of Star Wars are relationship to machines, issues of friendship and obligation to other people around you, and control over your destiny. Darth Vader is an example of relationships to machines because he is more machine than man, as an antagonist in Star Wars. Star Wars also has an infinite amount of examples on the issues of friendships and people around you, with character relationships playing out. The case of Luke Skywalker can easily be seen to fit the destiny pattern. Luke is an orphan, uncertain of his place in the world and even of his own identity. He is cast adrift but is guided along his path by Ben and by Yoda, who share the wise elder counselor…

    For over 30 years the world has been infatuated with that one galaxy far, far away. A galaxy that somehow always seems to be in turmoil, and yet is a place that we all wouldn't mind living in. Star Wars has been apart of my life from as far back as I can remember. When I was 5-years-old I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I distinctly remember saying that I wanted to be a Jedi Knight, and fly the Millennium Falcon. Not very realistic goals, I know, but it was the truth. Eventually, I did grow up and I had to look for real job, but my fascination and love for Star Wars still remained.…
