Star Trek vs Star Wars (Again)

Way to go Mr. Shatner! Incite the Warsie masses! Diplomacy? What is this diplomacy you speak of! =P

 

Honestly, when are people going to learn (fan or non-fan alike) that you just can't compare the two mondo sci fi franchises and expect any kind of validity to your statement, no matter who you are. The William Shatner blurb is priceless though!

 

William Shatner Says Star Wars Derivative of Star Trek

By TrekNews l September 15, 2011

 

William Shatner chimed in on the ever-popular discussion of which is better, Star Wars or Star Trek, in a video posted to his Youtube channel earlier today.

 

“Star Trek had relationships, conflict among the relationships, stories that involved humanity and philosophical questions.” said Shatner. “Star Wars was special effects. It was ILM at it’s best. First of all, Star Wars is derivative of Star Trek, by what 10, 15, 20 years, something like that?” he added.

 

Shatner went on to discuss the special effects used in the Star Wars films, the original Star Trek films and JJ Abrams’ 2009 reboot.

 

Discussing the females in both franchises, Shatner said “Princess Leia, as beautiful as she was and as wonderful an actress as she [Carrie Fisher] is can’t compare to the marvelous heroines we had on Star Trek.”

 

“I’m not saying that’s just the only thing that makes Star Trek better than Star Wars. I’m saying the stories were better.” Shatner said.

 

“That would be the perfect union of Star Wars and Star Trek.” Shatner joked about a relationship between Captain Kirk and Princess Leia.

 

The complete Star Wars saga is set to be re-released tomorrow on Blu-Ray.

It's kind of like comparing a 10" belgan waffle with strawberries and whipped cream to a 16 oz prime rib cooked to perfection. Both are outstanding in their field - it's a question of what I'm in the mood for.

Exactly Shan!

 

Star Wars: The Original Trilogy (Prequel Trilogy, not my thing) will always be a favorite, and I enjoy the Clone Wars animated series.

 

Apparently, the Shatnerized comments came on the eve of the Blu Ray release of the entire Warsie movie collection, complete with updates and extras. The 1997 re-worked Original Trilogy is included, with no original theatrical options/versions available….which is not cool.

 

And did you know the Ewoks blink now? Mr. Lucas. Dude. That’s a little freaky.

 

Of course, I’m in the ‘Han shot first’ fan camp. Dang straight he shot first.
