I’d say that used to be true, but now there’s been a bunch of Star Wars, and there’s a lot of material from both. Nothing from Star Wars really comes close to 90s Star Trek.
If we’re talking the original movies, and even the prequels, then definitely. And I can’t say I’m surprised it turned out that way, honestly.
The Venn diagram of people who enjoy Star Wars and Star Trek is almost just one circle. You jiggle it a little, but your opinion isn’t statistically significant.
Kind of beside the point. If you’re someone who’s gonna watch a space movie, with aliens, and lasers, you’re gonna watch both. I doubt many people care one’s a space opera, and the other’s fantasy in space, when they’re 12, or really ever.
There’s a lot of overlap I’m sure. But it’s probably not nearly as close as you imagine it is. They’re different enough that you could replace either circle with any vaguely sci-fi thing and get pretty similar results.
Hey, I know we’re all just bullshitting, but dreaming up fake statistics to invalidate someone else’s opinion is really fucking dumb. Also, using statistics at all to invalidate someone, as if we all have to ascribe to the majority opinion, is really fucking dumb. Just all-around really dumb.
That’s a great way to see it, one is pulp fictiony for pure entertainment and the other deals with way more complex themes and gets you into some philosophical shit that can be fun to ponder on.
Star Trek and Star Wars are apples and oranges. One doesn’t have to be better because they’re totally different things.

Star Wars is shit though and I constantly have to see about it when trying to see about Star Trek

One is a sci-fi and one is fantasy in space. Totally different genres.
100%, it’s literally a samurai, a cowboy and a princess against and evil space wizard.

But is it dumb?
The venn diagram of people who think it’s dumb is almost just one circle.
I watch Star Wars for blaster shootouts, space wizards, and spaceship fights.
I watch Star Trek for moral dilemmas, courtroom dramas, and sociopolitical commentary.
Except when I watch Andor then I watch it for all the above.
