Money doesn't exist in Star Trek but credits do in Star Wars.

Money exists in Star Trek, the Federation just doesn't use it. the Ferengi love the stuff though

They occasionally reference "Federation Credits", but I think it's mainly for use outside the Federation.

Federation credits? Federation credits are no good out here. I need something more real.

This is just a world building issue that comes with hundreds of writers over the decades. Who knows how money works. Someone will say something, then ten years later, another writer wont get the note and write something that conflicts.

Star Wars never got replicators, but they did get sweet laser swords

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Fuck laser swords, i want food without cooking.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Best I can do is different colored milk, but I will throw in some space wizards and what the hell personal starships for everyone.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Star wars kind of has that, if 'just add water' counts as 'without cooking'

Pressed latinum bars?
