Star Trek vs Star Wars Philosophy

Text on the meme

CORE PHILOSOPHY OF STAR TREK CORE PHILOSOPHY OF STAR WARS I wanted to imagine a universe free of poverty. A civilization that had transcended hate and gone on to explore the stars together. Well, you know this guy is bad because he has a red laser sword, and this one is good with a blue laser sword.

What it means

The meme contrasts the core philosophies of Star Trek and Star Wars. Star Trek is portrayed as imagining a poverty-free, peaceful civilization exploring the stars, while Star Wars is reduced to judging characters by whether they wield a red or blue lightsaber. It is used as a humorous comparison between idealistic science fiction and simplistic good-versus-evil storytelling. EN: The meme contrasts the core philosophies of Star Trek and Star Wars.
