possessed?
Haiii.
Star trek is science fiction. Star wars is fantasy. Game Night is comedy. The exorcist is horror. Deep thr… Nah you get the point. Just kidding I don’t have a point.
I’m here all week.
And this is why I bring up Gary Mitchell, Q, Trelane, Apollo, Plato’s Stepchildren, Vulcan’s, Betazoids, Deltans, Star Trek V, and so many others. If you want to claim that the Force is magic, you have to account for all the exact same activities (and often stronger and more powerful and even more fantastic) in Star Trek. Star Trek and Star Wars are in the exact same genre. Star Trek has plenty of stories inspired by myths and legends. It is Horatio Hornlower in space. Wagon Train to the stars. Inspired by Forbidden Planet. Star Trek had less science fiction behind it when it started that Star Wars did. Both brought on science fiction writers (many in Star Trek and Leigh Brackett for TESB, but also Alan Dean Foster for the novelization and a sequel idea and Brian Daly and L. Neil Smith for the first EU/Legends novels). So Star Wars is steeped in Science Fiction, from its inspirations to those who contributed to it.
I just want you to know I didn’t read this post. This entire conversation is silly.
