William Shatner responds to George Takei’s overtures of Star Peace: By demanding “retribution.” Vaguely. Maybe it’s all part of his new one-man show.

Shatner, Fisher, Shatner… Now what? George Takei, having worked in both franchises, wants to broker Star Peace. Or rather, team up on a mutual enemy.

Remember when William Shatner ripped on Star Wars? Carrie Fisher has taken up the gauntlet.

Apples and oranges? Pot calling the kettle black? Space western vs. space opera? TV budget vs. film budget? There’s no denying that Star Wars is derivative of many things, but Trek doesn’t even makes the top ten.

Still, you can’t really blame the guy for being partisan to his own franchise. (Or wanting Kirk to run off with Leia)

EDIT: And speaking of derivative, Heilemann  has something of a point about Trek and Forbidden Planet.
