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 …show more content…

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

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.

Television has become a mass viewed medium for entertainment, education, news, politics, gossip, and advertising.

` 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.

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.

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.

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).
