Ok, this is just stupid.

Is he talking about the prequels now or the original movies? HE DOESN'T CONFUSE THE TWO I HOPE??

Yea, where Star Trek had thought experiments and "humanity" (as corny as it sometimes may have gotten - look up TV Tropes "you fail logic forever"), Star Wars mostly had mythical escapism, but calling it "little more than special effects"?
The original movies hinged upon the humanity of their main characters - sorry, that's just silly.

Then he mentions Abrams' movie... okay... that one had cool SEs, but it sacrificed some of the "story" quality, didn't it? It belongs to the same franchise, but was much more like SW except probably more shallow.

The Shat should listen to some Plinkett - his thoughts on this aren't organized at all.
