Like, advanced technology, focusing entirely on intercrew arguments, (terrible dialogue and cheesy action), ships flying sideways, no knowledge of ship operations and procedures. Magic technology. Blasters of different colours so we can tell good guys from bad guys. Robots and drones. Really, that's the big one.

If you hate star trek so much Kurtzman, just make a different show.

    Star Trek probably has more advanced tech then Star Wars tbh, with the replicators and transporters and what not.
    I guess Star Wars has a huge space station that can destroy a planet, but everything in Star Wars is pretty rustic.

      The average Federation starship can also destroy a planet. Not like, explode it but they could wipe out all life from orbit in like, no time at all.

        SULU: Mister Chekov, phaser setting for planetary target A.

        CHEKOV: Co-ordinates seven one two stroke four, Mister Sulu.

        SULU: Port batteries locked.

        SULU: Phasers Locked on target A, Captain. Approaching optimum range. Commence fire, Captain? Captain?

        KIRK: Stand by, Mister Sulu.

        SULU: Secondary target now moving beyond our phaser lock.

        KIRK: Put phasers on standby, Mister Sulu.

        SPOCK: A serious breach of orders, Captain.

        UHURA: Captain, I have the leader on the Halkan Council waiting on channel B.

        KIRK: It is useless to resist us.

        I love Kirk's use of the classic sci-fi evil villain line.

      Maybe that's it. They're making star trek very rustic, with lots of robots and drones flying around, and sword fighting. And they resigned phasers to look more like blasters.

        JJ Abramhs pretty much said he was trying to make Star Trek more like Star Wars and I think it's been a trend since.

          Its bad, like, not only is there already a star wars, just literally call it anything else. Make up a new franchise - dont plaster an NCC on the millennium falcon and call it a day

      star wars is a mostly junk fleet going up against a massive empire. It's hard to clean the empire's ships and the rebel ships are made of trash sometimes. The smaller ships of the prequel era are a lot cleaner looking, given they are roughly equal navies in terms of size and power. Star Trek ships are also mostly designed for living in, with families and scientists, while star wars we mostly see the ships of soldiers or rugged survivalists. Commander Riker has to entertain foreign dignitaries and friends in his quarters often, no one goes into Darth Vader's room unless they're informing him the emperor has arrived. but yeah the federation has tech to destroy poverty while Tatooine is like every third planet in the empire
