Good question. One I knew would be asked.
Because, quite simply, it's not real. It's an idyllic futuristic and Utopian view of Earth's place in the Universe. One where Earth is super important and not just one of a billion sentient species. One where the good guys always win and America FUCK YEAH politics work. (Gunship diplomacy they used to call it BITD). It's sweetness and light, raindrops and kittens. It's a magical, fluffy bunny world, where unicorns pee rainbows and everything tastes of chocolate.
But that's not real. That's not life. Either here and now or in a galaxy far, far, away, a long, long time ago. That's the reality. You WANT to live in Star Trek. I get that It's the whining complaint of Trekkies the world over, sick of having their pocket protectors stolen and sock garters laughed at. But you HAVE to live in Star Wars. Get over it.
Star Trek might be "better" in the way that a Segway is 'better" than a Harley Davidson - fuel efficiency, green, lower carbon footprint, responsible.
But it will never ever be cooler. Because Star Wars.

Why is Star Trek so much better than Star Wars?

Haha... A bunch of space wizards fighting with magic flashlights is cool?
If Star Trek is a segway, Star Wars is an IT
