The STAR TREK characters definitely have a lot more depth than the STAR WARS characters. STAR TREK is a genuine science fiction series which actually had effort expended on making its scripts fairly intelligent. STAR WARS is not science fiction. It's space opera. A simple adventure story that happens to be set in space. It wasn't designed to do anything other than give viewers a fun ride for two hours and very little to think about after the credits rolled. And that kind of thing has its place. But it's not the same place as TREK or other sci-fi series such as DOCTOR WHO. Nowhere close.
