Don't forget, Star Trek has Vulcan and Betazoid telepathy.
I am a major Trek/Wars fan, and I can get a bit anal about these things. However, in Star Trek Telepathy, while not terribly understood IS a proven, reproducable phenomenon, unlike our world. In Star Wars, The Force is a mystical power field, much like telepathy in our world. The Force is revered much like a religion, not a scientific reality. And, while no on in Star Wars questions the existance of The Force, many Force users have different beliefs on where/how their powers came to be. However, I am a firm believer in Science Fiction and have no problem accepting both since they are part of the everso more important . . . PLOT![/b]
