I just recently got interested in Star trek, via video streaming services.
Voyager
Enterprise
TNG
DS9
and the current Star Trek: Discovery.
Covid-binging seems to be a thing these days...
One of the key things needed to be considered is that Star Trek was designed initially for TV, episode based with advertising breaks. So the plot of most ( some ) of them is episode-al, short stories and not long journey style stories.
The current story, S T Discovery is 3 seasons ( a 4th on the way in Australia) of long story and to be honest IMO, a rather well produced sci fi product that could stand alone with out heavy reliance on a franchise.
Sure it's got quite a few inconsistencies and some rather obsessional melodramatic sentimentality but one is reminded that
sci fi soap has to for the episod-al TV audience it is designed to attract.
I agree that there really is no way you can compare the two, Trek vs Star Wars in terms of who wins a hypothetical war except to suggest that if the good guys in both teamed up "evil" doesn't stand a chance... lol
