Star Wars Vs Star Trek
Lights! Camera! Action! What are two of the most popular TV franchises ever? Star Wars is a movie series with 7 two hour episodes with two more in production. Star Trek is a TV show with 45 minute episodes, 7 seasons, and 5 series. Star Wars and Star Trek are very engaging movie series with different plots and starships but both have similar weapons and protagonists that have the same types of relationships.
One of the things that both series have in common is that they both have starships. However, their starships are vastly different. In battle, Star Wars characters use tiny one man fighters to fight along with their mother ship. These fighters are small, cramped, and often claustrophobic.

Also, each series features the same types of relationships (besides romance). Luke Skywalker had a fairly strong mentor/pupil relationship with both his masters, Obi-Wan and Yoda. Janeway was like a mother to Seven of Nine and Captain Picard was often seen as a mentor to Data as he tried to teach him what it meant to be human. Of course there was romance in both series, but there’s romance in just about
