Star tech

A canonical technology from the Star Trek universe is the Holodeck. You and I walk into a room together, and we are suddenly somewhere else.

A key point here is that we are physically together. It is only the room around us that changes.

A canonical technology in the Star Wars universe is the Jedi Council. You and I are having an immersive face to face meeting, and yet we are actually far away from each other, perhaps many millions of miles apart.

A key point here is that we are not physically together. There is an illusion that we are in the same room, but in fact we are not.

In a sense this gets to a core difference between the two universes. Star Wars is largely about having the power to transcend the laws of reality. Star Trek is largely about hanging out together.
