What does Star Trek have to do with The Empire Strikes Back?

Star Trek has everything to do with Star Wars. If you like Star Wars, you must hate Star Trek and vice versa


not really. I love both. Though I'd classify star wars as not actually science fiction, but fantasy.

Wait are you saying there is a diffence?

We aren't talking about a documentary on proven facts, real interviews with actual witnesses and other proven details about a real terrorist incident compared to "White House Down" here.


science fiction is to me based on scientific concepts though often times writers screw up these concepts. The things in Star Trek, Time Travel, Worm Holes, etc, are all vaguely based on real concepts.

Fantasy uses magic or in this case the force to describe things without explaining how magic exists (though to be fair Episode 1 started to explain it with midicloreans or whatever to many peoples disliking). Nor does it follow any laws of physics in space (IE no sound, lasers going slower than actual bullets, faster than light is not elaborated on, etc), or really anything remotely based in science.

That's just me. And they're not mutually exclusive, science fiction can have fantasy elements and vice versa. And its quite offtopic. heh
