John Boyega is a “Star\u00a0Wars”\u00a0fan, of course. Starring in three “Star\u00a0Wars”\u00a0movies is the kind of thing that’ll give you a healthy appreciation for the galaxy far, far away. And like many other “Star Wars” fans, he’s also adamant that his team is the superior one in the eternally raging battle between “Star Wars” and “Star Trek,” and he’s been known to say as much.\u00a0“I’m an old school ‘Star Wars’ fan, and if you’re a Trekkie and you’ve met me at the booths, you would find that I would mention that I don’t like ‘Star Trek,'” as Boyega described his fandom during an appearance at the 2025 Dragon Con (via SFF Gazette<\/a>).<\/p>\n Boyega’s dismissal of “Star Trek” has one notable caveat, though. As the two franchises’ names reveal, “Wars”\u00a0is about large-scale armed conflicts and the events that lead up to them, while “Trek”\u00a0is focused on comparatively peaceful exploration. According to Boyega, this gives the latter a major advantage when it comes to dialogue opportunities, to the point that “Star Wars”\u00a0could take notes:<\/p>\n “I just think that on the Trekkie side, they like to talk about it. On the ‘Star Wars’ side, we just get active. With ‘Star Wars,’ you’ve got to talk while the war is going on. In ‘Star Trek’, they give you time to have discussions. I think there’s something ‘Star Wars’ can learn from that, actually.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
