[QUOTE]Originally posted by newark: [QB] The situation is quite a mess now. This is not a bashing of Star Trek or Star Wars. It is a comparison. The prequels to Star Wars, though they were duds in the scriptwriting and characterization departments, were great at portraying a world before the trilogy we know from our youth. They faced the same quandry as the producers of Enterprise encountered-how to do a prequel when the modern advancements in technology render the original's depiction of technology obsolete? (Here I am thinking of the use of computers in the first trilogy and other small details that stand out now.) They succeeded. We are able to see the development of technologies used in the first trilogy, the political story of the birth of the Empire, and the family history of the Skywalkers. Now to not bash Star Trek, but I do need to ask this question. Why couldn't the producers attempt the same level of success? As lamented often here and on other boards, the first is very vague on technology as oppossed to later series. There was a noticeable lack of Trek babble in the first. I see this as an advantage. With a lack of data, the producers could have created a prequel universe that was true to the original-small ships operating out of UESPA which employed nuclear weapons and other less advanced technologies and still hold true to Star Trek: The Original It would be set in a time when Earth was coming into its own and finding species near to Earth. As it stands, Enterprise is an anachronism or the first series is. Take your pick. (I have made my pick-Enteprise is an anachronism and is not canon.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
