...star wars is rapidly evolving into a bigger cult than star trek ever was
I strongly disagree with that view. Star Wars may be more in the news currently, and very recognized pop-culturally, but to the global populace, Star Trek is much more engrained into our psyche. Trek is reality-based and science-based. It's also the idealistic goal of millions. Star Wars is just a space serial, largely directed at children. Particularly so, post-1980.
