Yes. Because there are absolutely no hotties in anything related to Star Trek.
 
One does not exclude the other. The thing Star Wars generally lacks is "science," but he kept that term in both.
Care to give an example of a non-fiction fantasy?

Just for the record, what he said is correct and is extremely well established in literature.
 
Um...that's my point. He said "Star Trek is science-fiction" and "Star Wars is science-fantasy."


No. What he tried to say is well-established:

Star Trek is science-fiction.
Star Wars is fantasy-fiction.
What he said was right. You are confusing.
 
Star Trek is science-fiction.
Star Wars is fantasy-fiction.
Indeed. Except when it literally can't be avoided altogether, basically no one ever talks about "science" anywhere at all in the Star Wars franchise (in the sense of explaining how any of their nifty doodads, the Force, or anything else, actually "works".) And on the few occasions when they do it at all, it's only in a very vague way that merely alludes to general concepts "everyone in that Universe" is expected to understand as basic background knowledge...

In "science fiction", on the other hand, while the "science" is usually all but totally made-up out of thin air (and in lesser examples of the genre, often nonsensical), the general idea is to explain everything in at least "sciencey" terms and not, for example, mystical ones (which by definition can't be grasped by rational thought processes at all)...

We must be getting better.
We're mellowing in our old age
Or maybe just getting slower on the feet....😛/😉

Here's where I would agree and point out T-Pol, but then get assaulted by a wave of nerds screaming bloody murder for mentioning "that horrible franchise thing that was not Star Trek!" D:

See, this is why Star Wars wins.
