Star Trek vs Star Wars
Star Wars has its origin in film. Star Wars mainly belongs to the space opera subgenre of science fiction that was inspired by works such as Beowulf, King Arthur and other mythologies, world religions, as well as ancient and medieval history. It depicts a galactic society in constant conflict. Though there are periods of peace, these are only documented in novels, comics, video games, non-feature films and other spin-off media. Star Wars is set "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away," although many characters are human, occasionally use Earth metaphors and exhibit human character traits." -Wikipedia.org

Most people who have that bias against episode 1-3 don't fully understand their plot and are just focusing on the negative aspects (which there are plenty of) meanwhile the original trilogy has already made a much stronger impression on them especially if they watched it from childhood, so they will always be biased. There are a lot of things about Star Wars, especially in episode 1-3 that are implied but never directly explained, so if you are not very knowledgeable about SW or can't tell that episode 1-3 are much more complex than the original trilogy chances are you are just relying on personal bias.

1: I'm much more familiar with Star Wars but from what I've seen of Star Trek it seems less impressive to me. 2: Star Trek is fraught with physics fallacies and petty attempts at sounding scientific when it's clear to anyone who has basic knowledge that 99% of their quantum bullshit is a gross misrepresentation of how shit actually works in order to bend and stretch the mechanics of reality to conform with the whims of the show's writers. 3:Both Star Wars and Star Trek are blatantly inaccurate in their portrayal of the technologies and social structures one should expect from advanced civilizations. Take into consideration the simple fact that these are fictional type one and two civilizations being conceptualized by people from type zero civilizations, our values and psychological traits are therefore projected onto beings who should be vastly more advanced than us, it's like expecting an ant to behave like a human. When you consider that, it's pathetic how in Star Wars (wherein larger galactic governments exist but the technological level is technically Kardashev 1 if you discount the warp drive tech, which technically shouldn't be in Star Wars when you consider how advanced that is compared to other Star Wars tech.) there are still type zero governmental and socioeconomic structures and a significant lack in certain tech such as nanotech and renewable or highly efficient energy sources, while at the same time their ability to travel through space is blown out of proportion. Star Trek is even more pathetic in this regard because Star Trek has Type 2 Kardashev civilizations with the same socioeconomic bullshit and even more technological fallacies. 4: Star Wars actually has a point, Star Trek is more about wandering around through space and getting into conflicts with random aliens, Star Wars is about a cosmic force being kept in balance and the battle for freedom and justice in the galaxy.

Star Trek is fraught with physics fallacies And of course strangling people with the power of your mind is perfectly realistic. In actual fact, for the most part Star Trek prides itself on being true to scientific theory. Can you give some examples of these "physics fallacies" without searching through nerd threads on Google? I doubt you can. Side: Star Trek
