are we talking civilisation or technology ?

i remember Star Trek having a society buildt on science exploration and personal fulfillment. at least in TNG it was like that. they also never mentioned any religion or money.

i quite liked that.

as in Star Wars it was a totalitarian regime being overthrown with only the hope that something better may come along.

so i say i'd rather live in the Star Trek universe.


I always thought it ironic that a show produced in the States portrayed an aspirational future model that was essentially a Communist Ideal

It does make sense though, once they invented replicators, there need for money completely breaks down. IIRC in DS9 they say the only things still traded in Star Trek is extremely specialist stuff like luxury food's and other stuff which can't totally be replicated or isn't in the database (I imagine the taste of replicated food isn't the same as home made).

But Star Trek is definitely more advanced, food replicators, transporters, warp 10, Star Wars doesn't really have much :/


it's kind of semi related, but I always wondered who would win the Borg or the Replicators (Stargate)?
