Here to (tongue-in-cheek) refute you:
1. History:  Star Trek is much older. The original series was 1966-67.
2. Way off! The original space opera is Captain Video.
3. The heroes journey: Not a chance! Star Wars is from Kurasawa, The Hidden Fortress.
4. The big questions: Hey, Yoda is kinda small!
5. Oh no, we Star Trek fans take our series most seriously, especially the creaky special effects.
