Is Anyone Ever Wondered in the Battle ‘Star Wars’ vs. ‘Star Trek’: Why ‘Star Trek’ Keeps Losing?
Well, well, here is another rather interesting topic for all the film lovers (as I am :-)). Being the one who has actually watched all of the episodes/films from both, I think I suitable enough to adduce my opinion. Regardless of my list of reasons, I am pretty sure this classic debate will certainly continue to rage on!
As we all know, Star Trek has recently achieved enormous success with both Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) achieving mainstream appeal and gained enormous box office success. That’s truly something, but practically nothing compared to what The Force Awakens (2015) did last year both at the box offices and when it came to popular culture. To summarize, when it comes to the money the Star Wars series has made $2.8 billion, with eight episodes/films, while the Star Track crew earned $1.2 billion through 12 films! That’s

Me too :-) Is it all about the various powers that come with being a force-sensitive individual? Or perhaps, is it the ability to wield a lightsaber? Some of you may remember the part in “The Empire Strikes Back” when Yoga says to young Luke Skywalker “Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.” And then continues with the following: “You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes.” To summarize, according to the eastern religion, the force is something that gives meaning and tries to organize this chaotic universe of ours. It presents “that” something which binds us all together and at the same time allows those less fortunate ones to find their own place/purpose and find their place in the universe. It surely presents a beautiful concept which doesn’t exist in Star Track! I’m so sorry guys, that’s another point for us
There are many age old debates in nerd culture, Marvel vs DC, Mac Vs PC, weather or not Han shot first. But none so vicious is Star Wars Vs Star Trek. This 39 year sparring match is less of a fight and more of a death match with fans of both biting at each other to do dawn supremacy over one another. Both of these flagship franchises have advantiges and disadvatiges which make them equal in most rights. Star Trek started in 1966, a full 13 years before George Lucas’s flagship film “Star Wars” was viewed on screen.
My first time I went to Tuacahn I got to see Newsies and Shrek. Tuachan is an Amphitheater in the mountains , where the scenery is really beautiful that time of year. It was so magical and hot , really hot. So the trip from Idaho to St. George it takes about seven and a half hours to get there longest car trip ever , not really the trip to Canada is so much longer , anyway it is super long unless you are listening to music, my family loves music so much if we could sit in a car listening to music twenty-four seven we totally would. When we found out we were going to see Newsies and Shrek we listened to the music over and over and over again .
Star Wars has a worldwide appeal that is here to stay for many generations to come, but how has it done this? While director George Lucas has received mixed reactions for his approach towards the prequels, this does not undermine the fact that George
The time-frame of "Force Awakens" and "The Last Jedi" does not even last a week and in this time-frame the entire republic is destroyed, the rebellion is reduced to less then 50 people and everybody interesting inside the Star Wars Universe is dead.
I just started getting into to Star Trek. Everyone I knows compares it to Star Wars but to me, Star Wars is just better than it. I don 't know what the second clip is because it 's not viewable on YouTube. In the short clip of Star Trek, you see most many different emotions. One that is the big one is love for a friend.
` In May of 1977, Star Wars: A New Hope was released with overwhelmingly positive reviews and marking a new era in cinema. The writer and director of the film, George Lucas, decided to expand upon the Star Wars universe in 1999 by making Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, with a story that took place before the original film’s story. This movie was made with advanced equipment and cutting-edge CGI (for 1999), nonetheless, the movie was panned by critics and enraged an entire generation of moviegoers. The answer to why this happened lies in the differences between the two films: use of special effects, construction of characters, and complexity of plot. “A special effect is a tool, a means of telling a story.
Star Wars vs. Star Trek The question has long been asked in the science fiction community: which is better - Star Wars or Star Trek? The answer is most definitely different depending on who you ask. Some fans might claim “the force” in Star Wars is better a better weapon than any Federation firearm out there.
Sequel fatigue is a popular condition, for years now the highest grossing films have been either sequels or franchises, and the elitist spits out the word Hollywood as a metonymy for all that is wrong with the artless entertainment industry. They have point: Hollywood is an industry and the bloated gatekeepers are fiducially bound not artistically. Their primary concern is what sells, and that makes them rather conservative, banking on things that resemble things that sold before, hence the glut of sequels and franchises, but also more insidiously the torrent of passable “safe” films: demographic pandering by the numbers, relying on formula and cliché. These films can still be well crafted like Marvel3 instalment Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
All three of the stories start with the hero in the ordinary world. For the most part the ordinary world in all of the stories is a setting the hero is unpleased with. Katniss does not like the scarcity of food in her district, Ender gets bullied for being so smart, and Luke wants to leave the farm he lives on. All of them are not anyone you would expect to be involved in anything important. The call to adventure in all the stories are relatively similar.
Heroes of Different Worlds Every hero from every story, book, or movie embarks on a quest. The quest can be as simple as going to the grocery store, or as complicated as saving the world. The protagonists from both Star Wars and Beowulf also follow along this path. In Beowulf, King Hrothgar’s hall Heorot is attacked by a demon Grendel at night, and not even his bravest warriors can stop it.
The comparison of Douglas Adam’s novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy written in 1979 and James Cameron’s 2009 film Avatar examines the consequences of valuing technology and a transformation of an individual through self-actualisation. Despite the difference in the transition from the 1970s, the beginning of modern computing to the 21st century, the period of Digital Revolution and the increasing rise in Third World consumerism, some aspects of human nature remain consistent. Both texts explore similar aspects of humanity including humanity’s propensity to depend on technology, and individuals achieving self-actualisation and realising their potentialities they may emerge from the personal experiences they encounter. Thus, as texts reflect on their context, it is evident that human nature remains consistent throughout different contexts.
The latest Star Wars movie just came out on December 14, 2017. The movie has brought the Star Wars fandom exhilarated and ready to see what more is to come. With 90% Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has been loved by critics and THEY even want more!

This Buddhist theme can also be seen throughout the Star Wars movies (39). Buddhists believe that illusion is bad, because Buddhism is all about having control of your mind, and illusion disrupts that control. "For the Buddha, the subjective perception of an individual was creating the world for him, so one does not conceive the world as it is but shaped by the medium of perception, including also one's own consciousness and subjectivity" (Feichtinger 39). Feichtinger mentions that "in Episode IV, Obi-Wan Kenobi warns his young apprentice Luke" that "[His] eyes can deceive [him]" and that "[he] should not trust them" (39). ' Illusion' is an important Buddhist element, but more so in the Mahayana tradition than in Theravada and in
A textbook example of this is the animated television show The Clone Wars (Dave Filoni, George Lucas 2008-2015). This show fits chronologically between the second and third ‘prequel’ movies Attack of the Clones (George Lucas, 2002) and Revenge of the Sith (George Lucas, 2005). The show bridged the time gap between the two movies, allowing dedicated viewers to fill in the gaps that the original story left and learn a more detailed story. It also bridged the generation gap for viewers, as Star Wars fans are typically older, or young adults, as that is when the movies originally came out. This show is animated and intended for children, allowing the franchise to hook younger viewers, as well as providing more engaging narrative for the very active audiences who tend to consume all the content they can find (Loads 2014).
Books vs. Movies The constant battle between watching a movie and reading a book has lead to many disagreements. Many valid arguments can be made in favor of each as well as each having it’s own disadvantages, yet the question still remains unanswered. Books and movies have many similarities and differences when it comes to experience, development, and imagery. To begin, there are a variety of reasons that make movies not as good as books. The experience, the depth, and the imagery are the three main aspects one needs in order to understand why movies are not as good as books.
