I enjoy Star Wars for specific reasons that I like in entertainment. The ragtag underdog fighting a strong oppressor and winning. The classic fantasy story, but in space. Swords. Small fighters dogfighting more than large ships shooting at each other.
Now, that’s entertainment, in an action fantasy judgement. Would I want to live in a Star Wars universe over a Star Trek universe? Absolutely not. Do I agree with the moral guidelines of either major side of Star Wars? Again, not really. I definitely don’t like the empire, but even the Jedi are too much of religious fundies to me. I also think the lessons/message of Trek is generally better too.
It’s a bit like food that’s tasty but not good for you. I enjoy it, but I’m not claiming it’s the better of the two.
