I think the distinction is a focus of drama vs action. Star Trek is mostly drama with a Sci Fi dressing and Start Wars is more action with a Sci Fi dressing. Neither are really based on science and both have magical space transportation that lets them move between planets.
They are both great examples of doing what they set out to do, and why I am not a fan of the newer Star Trek movies and shows that try to be closer to the epic fantasy action of Star Wars. Just let them be their own things!
