Hmm. Two sides of the same coin
if that coin is 'this isn't really science fiction'. Star Wars is generally more fun than Star Trek, if that helps, while Star Trek is more prone to pointless excretions of technobabble.
I always like it when they sweep something with a neutrino beam.
1) Where do they get the neutrinos?
2) What the hell do they expect to learn by aiming a 'beam' of the lightest and most weakly-interacting particles in the universe at someone, except that trying to learn anything from them is utterly pointless given how many untold billions of the little bastards sleet through the Earth every second and barely notice.

It's the future. You can probably buy a tin of neutrinos at Space Walmart or something

Instead of something that just "sounds cool" they should use something real.
Like midi-chlorians.

If you don't know what you're talking about
then make something up and talk about that, instead. That's the way Star Trek should live. Yeah.
Yeah.
