 | | Star Trek is trying to represent the society and technology of a human civilisation in the not too distant future, while Star Wars is set "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away", giving it more freedom to plausibly introduce more fantastic weaponry and devices. |
 | | Star Trek is frequently claimed by its proponents as a more realistic science fiction depiction of the future, and dismiss Star Wars as mere science fantasy. |
 | | Star Wars proponents argue that their favorite series follows the classical forms of mythology as documented by Joseph Campbell and employing Jungian archetypes, making it the more serious and mature form of entertainment. |
