In episode 42 of Captains' Logs and Lightsabers, Chris and Jonathan reunite to compare and contrast the different types of technology in Star Trek and Star Wars. They wonder if phasers and blasters have similar technologies behind them. Is the Holo-Net like the Holodeck? Is a tricorder more useful than a droid? And finally, they tackle the age-old question of who would win in a fight between a Starfleet Vessel and the Death Star, just for fun! Before they get into that discussion, Chris and Jonathan talk about an upcoming trip to the Shore Leave convention in Lancaster, PA, trivia competitions, and the ap-peel of seeing the Savannah Bananas. 0:00 Introduction 2:30 Fandom Frontier 11:30  SNW & Reboot Rumors 23:30 Feature Discussion 54:20 Wrap-Up & Outro Use my special link (https://zen.ai/QiFszFD-Mts8PuWhMGdOmA ) to save 30% off your first month of any Zencastr paid plan.
