    Yeah I agree. Star Wars is ok for a bit of light entertainment, but I never understood why people go nuts about it. Or Star Trek, for that matter.

    I love this bit:

    A Jedi’s primary weapon is his/her lightsaber. A lightsaber is a beam of energy controlled by the Jedi’s mastery of the force. A Jedi can use his lightsaber to fend off attacks and slice through obstacles and fight against enemies.

    Hmmm. Sounds a lot like the Salaah doesn’t it?

    Luckily I like both. But the original SW and the new BG. I cannot help it. Oh wait. Y'all knew I liked BG. Oops. Edited now that I found the on topic reminder. I will, I hope to, be on topic.

    The discussion has gotten rather stagnant, and her arguments are too fallacious to answer, and she's made it clear she has no interest in replying. I'm not too big on SW but the discussion does seem interesting, can we get the last chunk moved to a new thread perhaps?

    I love Star Wars A New Hope as it's a self contained film.

    TESB has the ebst opening battle scene and, perhaps, the greatest ending of all time (prior to Lando and Chewie saving Luke from Bespin that is).

    Star Trek is not about aliens it is about confronting human moral dilemmas by externalizing them and allowing them to be faced by human emotions (personified by Kirk/Troi) and pure logic (personified by Spock/Data) and overcoming or finding peace with them (Picard/Sisko). It's about facing our internal struggles and is about finding a better way, both for society and for ourselves.  finmad

    Yes exactly that's one of the issues it explored, relationships between people who society didn't think should be together. Star Trek had the first televised interracial kiss (Kirk/Uhura) and the fifth lesbian kiss (Jadzia Dax/Lenara Khan, both Trill; although it very nearly had one earlier four years earlier than that, between Dr. Crusher and Kareel Oden--also Trill).

    Thank you, galfromusa. You have just convinced me to add Star Trek to the children's playlist. I will be going with the Next Generation, solely for the sake of Data.
    They have Star Wars down pat, now, though being my children, they do have to watch it at regular intervals.

    Star Trek was created by an atheist in America in the middle of the 20th century. It was revolutionary for it's time. At a party, the actress who played Uhura told Martin Luther King she was thinking of quitting the show. He encouraged her to stay, saying it was the only show he allowed his children to watch and that it shows how things should be.

    The Next Generation was built, as a show, in a formula of questioning philosophy. They used fiction to ask and explore questions. What is freedom? What is religion? Do the ends justify the means? What is life? What is conciousness? From planets with inhabitants that are basically gods offering eternal happiness in exchange for personal liberty, to machines fighting for the legal right to be classed as alive, to asking if the death of 100 justify saving 1000, to using religion to control, it explores all these things. Best yet, it does it in a way even Hamza Tortoise, slow as he is, can grasp it.

    Star Trek utilises the ancient tradition of using fiction to explore fundamental truths and questions, and offers it's thoughts on the answers.

    Seriously, some of Picard's speeches should be taught in philosophy and ethics classes.

    And it went to shit after the Roddenberrys died. Voyager and Enterprise and the latest movies are all just action movies set in space without the moral angst, and that's why they're good TV, but not good Star Trek. Star Trek was never supposed to be about explosions and making cool stuff for people to cosplay as. Star Wars was about selling toys, sure, but Star Trek was about making you uncomfortable, making you face your inner demons.
