    One preaches hope for a better future.

    One preaches a never ending cycle of ambition, corruption, and cruelty.

    Who would have ever thought time would prove Star Wars more thematically realistic 😂

      Star Wars was based on the past but set in the future. They borrowed “stormtroopers” from Hitler. The space battles are just like WWII dogfights. Star Wars was never looking forward it was looking backwards.

        With that logic, Star Trek is the same.

        It is based upon submarine life. Even going as far as using the boatswain whistle and radar sounds at the controls.

          You’re talking about the organization of the ships crew, they’re taking about overarching styles and themes.
