I've always felt like Star Wars is just "bigger" than Star Trek. Not like in amount of cultural impact, but in how there's just so much more different Star Wars material, more books, more games, and there's so many more differing takes on the world, while almost every piece of Star Trek media is focused on the same sort of basic experience of a starship crew on a bridge. It never took on the same sort of life of its own that the EU did. There's also the fact that the bulk of Star Wars media content blossomed within the last 30 years, so it's easier to see what is influenced by it, whereas most of the basics of Star Trek has already disseminated throughout the whole of pop culture over 50 years, so a lot of what you could consider as spinoffs or material with heavy star trek influence is just its own thing with its own independent identity, and the best Star Trek movie doesn't even legally have any association with the IP.

It never took on the same sort of life of its own that the EU did. You might be surprised actually at how much Star Trek media really is out there. Star Trek has a whole ecosystem of novels just like the Star Wars EU. Plus it's got 5 TV series that are generally part of fandom (TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, and VOY), two series that are also-rans (ENT and DIS), a new series currently in production, a shitload of movies, and a truly staggering amount of toys. And who even knows how many video-games by now. Star Trek never really broke into mainstream popularity, at least not Star Wars-level popularity. But it's definitely got Star Wars beat on content, at least by volume. Poopernickel fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Jan 30, 2020 |

I don't mean in terms of raw amount of content, although it would be interesting calculating how many episodes of a TV show a videogame counts as, and it's another interesting question comparing the density of material being release over time, since Star Trek had a few decades of a head start. I mean like as far as I know, all the Star Trek novels are just about cast members of the shows, following in their footsteps creating the same basic kind of content, despite the difference of media format. There's no branching out into different aspects of the universe, or even finding an identity beyond just ancillary material. The Star Wars EU ran the gamut between showing you the lives of Jedi, apprentices, bounty hunters, smugglers, soldiers, pilots, politicians, sith, jawas, droids, ewoks, and even construction workers. Not just on a shallow level like with the tales books, but to the point that the EU is broad enough that Star Wars ends up meaning different things to different people, as opposed to just picking your favorite flavor of spaceship crew exploring the galaxy.

My friend used to say that Star Trek: The Original Series was a Shakespearean play about the relationship between 3 men; Kirk, Spock, and Bones. The galaxy and its machinations were a backdrop that helped drive complex character development between them. And then TNG happened and it was a wacky adventure with ensemble cast in spaaaaaaaace!  I didn't really watch TOS but maybe he's right, I dunno. I like TNG but it's definitely dumb swashbuckling fantasy set in teh future.

Your friend's an idiot because the original series was totally a wacky adventure in space and Scotty was the best one anyways.

Poopernickel posted:Star Trek never really broke into mainstream popularity, at least not Star Wars-level popularity. https://www.wired.com/2016/10/potus-star-trek/ Trek is definitely mainstream. It's just never been cool to run around with a toy phaser in the way it's cool to run around with a toy lightsaber. Star Wars has been banking on its sexy 1970's vibe and falters when it deviates from that feeling. Mandalorian versus the prequels, for example. Trek is rooted in 60's politics and Shatner's wigs. I mean, it's quite unmoored from that now but I'm guessing Picard will take it back in that direction. Not gonna watch it until I can binge the whole thing with a free trial.

I watched the Corbomite Maneuver last night, an episode where kirk bluffs a dummy alien into standing down and ends with him leaving a crew member on the ship of an adult-voiced baldheaded child in need of an orthodontist.

You never get the feeling of distance that you do in star wars. voyager should have been different but rick berman didn't want to take any risks so its more humans everywhere and it all feels the same as TNG.

DS9 had a few episode with places outside the Federation, like when O'Brien went undercover with the space mafia and Ezri went back to visit her hosed up family.

For three full decades, on television and in film, actor William Shatner has portrayed one of the most dynamic heroes of science fiction: James Tiberius Kirk, captain of the Starship Enterprise. Although Kirk appeared to perish at the conclusion of Star Trek Generations, the big national bestseller, The Return, revealed the amazing story of Kirk's resurrection. Now William Shatner brings his distinctive blend of talents as actor, writer, director, and producer to continue the saga of Jim Kirk's second life -- and to reunite one of the greatest teams of any future century.... A lethal virus, inimical to all conventional forms of plant life, threatens the entire Federation with starvation and dissolution. With the Federation already on the brink of overpopulation, Starfleet's resources are stretched to their limit. Whole worlds and even complete star systems are placed under quarantine, causing interstellar food supplies to run dangerously low, and hostile alien empires to eye the weakened Federation with malevolence. But now, in this moment of Starfleet's greatest need, Captain James T. Kirk, long believed dead, embarks on a desperate quest to find the true source of the mysterious virus. Elsewhere in the galaxy, Ambassador Spock, his diplomatic efforts stalled by the spread of famine and chaos, returns to his native world of Vulcan to confront a mystery of a deeply personal nature. Did Sarek, his legendary father, really die of natural causes -- or was he murdered? Determined to learn the truth, Spock begins a highly logical investigation that soon leads him to a reunion with a long-lost friend he never expected to see again. Kirk and Spock, together again, must join forces to save a new generation from an awesome menace unleashed by a ruthless interplanetary conspiracy. Pursued by hidden assassins and aided by old lovers and unlikely new allies, the two heroes risk everything, only to find themselves confronted by the one man who might be able to stop them -- Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise NCC-1701-E. Full of high adventure and powerful drama, Star Trek: Avenger is an engrossing new Star Trek epic -- and a moving tale of past memories and new hope that only William Shatner could tell.

Inexplicably my wife and I have now managed to watch all of tng, ds9, and Voyager. Honestly the finale to voy was great, anything that combines Janeway and time travel was great watching. Now onto as much of Enterprise as we can stand!
