Well, as I've had to deal with that question a lot, and as I'm a bonafide nerd, I think Shawn pointed it out pretty well. However, Star Wars has a few more differences, and I don't mean tech ones either, although there're a plenty of those. Star Trek is more closely based on scientific discovery and possibilities, whereas Star Wars is more based around principals of action and adventure. Literarily speaking, I'd say that Star Trek is more about a broader universe and how it effects individuals whereas Star Wars takes the other side, how individuals effect a broader universe. Star Wars is a series of seven movies, one animated and the rest live action, as well as an animated TV show, series of comics, and mass of books. Honestly, this differs only somewhat from Star Trek: eleven movies, none animated, five shows, although one series features animated episodes in addition to the live-action ones, and Star Trek also has a vast number of books associated with it. Both are rather large phenomena, so looking them up couldn't hurt anyone who doesn't know about them.
Hope this hasn't been too pedantic.
