William Shatner is getting the geek world stirred up again.

The iconic “Star Trek” actor is taking George Lucas’ “Star Wars” to task, dismissing the film franchise as a “derivative” of his show.

I find it fascinating how so many people take this seriously when Shatner made it pretty obvious that he was just joking around.

Well, well, if George keeps altering the original movies like in the recent BD release, I'm sure Shatner will be eventually right. wink

I consider myself a pretty dedicated science fiction fan but these overblown rivalries between fans of one franchise vs. fans of another franchise never made any sense to me.

Some people need to grow up and realize that they can enjoy both but if they only like one of the franchises then that's ok too!

Sheesh. soapbox

He was joking and he was intentionally over the top, but he was also right smile

Shatner doesn't have to be intentionally over the top. He just naturally is.

No kidding, it's fine to like WOP and CoD! They don't have to be compared all the time.
Wait, that's not the topic.

Shatner's just fun to listen to no matter what. If only he did that in character as Denny Crane. beercheers
