There seems to be a disturbance in the Force. Long time Star Wars fans became enbittered when the prequels came out, but clearly that set of movies was intended to draw in a whole new audience. And now with the bittersweet relase of Star Trek reminds us that if approached differently the Star Wars franchise could have been SO much better.
Which leads me to this video. It describes the author’s Favourte Sci Fi film of all time.
Now I didn’t post that to try and bash the comparisons that are always brought up when comparing Star Trek to Star Wars. I am firmly a Star Wars fan, but would like to see my April Fools joke come to life and do what the new Trek film did with the Star Wars franchise. They don’t have to “remake” it, but step into the future of the Star Wars timeline and do a movie based on the Legacy Comics. And George can’t direct.
I still love my Star Wars, and now I am loving Trek too.
This is also an illustration that with the right creative wording you can take anything that is vaguely similar and make them sound exactly the same. Still fun though.
