It has incorporated ideas from Star Wars, Star Trek and all the rest since. It is entirely able to do so because it is a generic science fiction game, and carries no more defining characteristic tropes than D&D does for fantasy and can be adaptable to any influence. Heck, it even referenced Star Wars in 1977!It is the default science fiction RPG in exactly the same way D&D is. D&D has had just as many pop cultural before and after its release - it was never just medieval + Tolkien. It always referenced a whole plethora of fantasy authors too.</blockquote>
