If you really want to dig deep, an argument could be made that comparing Star Wars and Star Trek is truly comparing apples to grapes. They aren't even the same size.

Star Wars uses the Joseph Campbell myth cycle ala the Hero's journey over the first three movies. And, if you really examine that, the Hero's Journey for the full six movies could be said to be Darth Vader's journey. What do you think?

And Star Trek is much shorter bites. I'm not sure there is a Hero's Journey in those. Maybe with Voyager and Next Generation, but not in the original.

Just my .02 geeky worth.
