Reposting the classic, it's a funny joke but not actually true as Star Wars actually does have energy shields.

Yes Star Wars can travel the entire galaxy in a perfectly reasonable amount of time, so long as the route has been mapped, whereas Star Trek at conservative estimates takes 100 years to go from one side to the other.
An important thing to consider is that both of these settings are intragalactic. They cannot leave their respective galaxy. The ability to leave one galaxy and travel to the next is much less common in sci fi than you'd maybe think as it is orders of magnitude more difficult than operating within one. Mass Effect Andromeda is the only example I can think of in which it was actually done and it took a multi-generation cryo-sleep ship to do it.

Tangent, the biggest technological divide between trek and wars is that trek has matter/energy conversion. You can turn dirt into energy and then turn that energy into a ham sandwich. or turn you into energy and then back into you a hundred thousand miles away on a moving planet. Star Wars doesn't even approach teleporters or replicators because it's fucking busted, but their travel speed is much faster and the level of their weapons is much stronger.
Laser Pig talked up Phaser technology a lot but he neglected to mention that the strongest weapons in Trek merely cause suns to go supernova in order to destroy planets rather than just directly destroying planets.

Did you know that X-wings can shoot nuclear bombs? because a photon torpedo is the same as a proton torpedo which is the same as a quantum torpedo.
